SkillsClubGRI

Fantastic turnout at surgical skills club (this is 7am!) a few weeks ago. Great to have such enthusiastic FYs and medical students. Michael (end pic) in 3rd yr, finishing up his 5 week UGI/HPB SSC, is now a suturing whizz! #soproud #teamGRI #skillsclub

Three top students showing us how it’s done this morning. Great session fuelled by the get up and go of these guys.

Skills Club birthday edition today! 10/10 for Ben for showing up on his birthday. Any excuse for cake before 8am 🎉🎈🎂🥳

Great session yesterday at Skills Club. Thanks Aaron for the sebaceous cyst inspiration. Who knew Ariel tabs would come in so handy! @eleanorlumley

My final Skills Club session @grisurgery fantastic to be working alongside such an enthusiastic & dedicated group. Delighted to hand on stewardship of the Club to the brilliant @katrina29979886 & @elizmclen for the coming year. Strong team! @NHSGGC @GRISurgery_Ed

Still going strong - another great Skills Club session! @grisurgery Every Thursday 6.30-8am over a pandemic year. Well done everybody! @GRISurgery_Ed @NHSGGC @Rungichungi

@siobhan_chien practising her French knot learned from the legendary Ruth McKee in theatre yesterday @GRISurgery_Ed @grisurgery

Skills club this morning catering for all levels today! From suturing to lap skills to hand tying our stomas (medical students and registrars alike!) #teamwork @ClubGri @CME_McCollum @Katrina29979886

@William_ArnoldC @leorbrown @BorisCWagner @ClaudiaCHChan @profp_edinsurg Looks fantastic! Reminiscent of the fantastic Skills Club boxes from @CSMEN1 for Skills Clubs. Equipment is vital first step - is next infrastructure to support & motivate regular use? - Collaborative groups, Practice drills, More complex procedures - that’s where we are going!

Very proud that our SSC group has managed to put together 45 of these to give out for free to 3rd/4th years. Pack includes sutures (safe disposal), surgical instruments, shoe lace for knot tying 🪢, surgical gloves and suture pad. Will hopefully increase interest in surgery!

ST8 @DocJimmyP83 working with CT1 @siobhan_chien on stomas this morning at Skills Club - in preparation for their Lap AP resection later today. Skills Club at its best! @GRISurgery_Ed @grisurgery

Fantastic session this morning - huge thanks to @x2lsg @DocJimmyP83 for some expert tuition on stomas, small bowel anastomoses & side-to-side gastro jej! #SurgSkillsClub @grisurgery @GRISurgery_Ed

@ross_clark1 @x2lsg @grisurgery @GRISurgery_Ed @HollyBekarma That would be fantastic! - if you DM me I can email a booklet with suggestions on how to get started. Also if part of Scottish IST programme @CSMEN1 @Rungichungi should be able to help with equipment. Lots of Clubs now springing up! @SkillsClubRIE @HairmyresSSC @SkillsClubQEUH...

@ClubGri @x2lsg @grisurgery @GRISurgery_Ed @HollyBekarma just what we were discussing. Should develop this for our CTs 👍🏻

Masterclass this morning from the brilliant @x2lsg on double layer side-to-side gastro-jejunostomy. Great job everyone! @grisurgery @GRISurgery_Ed #SurgSkillsClub

@SkillsClubRIE Fantastic!

As promised @ClubGri rhomboid local flap. (excuse nails, not working clinically today!)

@SkillsClubRIE Sounds great! - what model are you using?

6 sign ups so far. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow when we will be exploring the world of local flaps! 😁

For all West of Scotland CST applicants! Sign up for our free virtual mock CST interview event 11/2/21 for interview practice and individual feedback before the real deal! @ASiTofficial @a_f_rose @WestOfScotland1 @WISScotland docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Portfolio building for budding surgeons. I think this is aimed primarily at Foundation Year trainees. Please can you forward/Retweet if you have FY level followers who may be interested. 🙏 #SurgEd rcsed.ac.uk/professional-s…

Highly recommend a Skills Club trolley to keep it all together!

Suture pads (good dermal layer for subcuticular suturing)

Asked recently about some of the models we use -here they are! All developed over the past few years @SkillsClubWGH & @ClubGri. We have raw materials to make more if you think useful! @SkillsClubRIE @SurgSkillsBGH @SkillsClubQEUH @HairmyresSSC @SkillsClubSJH @Rungichungi @CSMEN1
