@NatashaMDay This is a genuinely thought provoking and clever piece of art!

@ruthmparks @UoNAnatomy @CST_HEEMNorth @BACA_Anatomy @BooteLeia @JazSeehra It's the sort of thing that's so great and definitely shortens learning curves but it's convincing the powers to release money for it! 💪

Presenting our work on enhancing surgical training in the East Midlands in conjunction with @UoNAnatomy using prosections for @CST_HEEMNorth and cadaveric surgical skills days for higher trainees at @BACA_Anatomy summer meeting @BooteLeia @JazSeehra #surgicaltraining

@asgbi @TheTraumaSurg @RCSEd @surgeonsnews @ASiTofficial @Dukes_Club @roux_group @ASGBI_MA @SurgeryHPB @2eyes1keyboard @DimDamask Well done @TheTraumaSurg

Congratulations to the winner of our Averil Mansfield Fellowship 2025, Mr Michael Okocha. A well-deserved award and we look forward to hearing all about his travels!

@catiwat @RosieSimson I think people wouldn't like the results of this!

@HugoCohen8 @RosieSimson videos of trainee operations and grading as a PBA- I definitely think we’re not being honest about the variability in what gets a 2A/2B/3A/3B. Lots of hawks and doves!

Thrilled to get our project on the (lack of) consensus for supervision coding in general surgery over the line and published. Started in 2022 with @RosieSimson , took 4 journals, lots of redrafting and finally accepted in July last year, now online publishing.rcseng.ac.uk/eprint/SK6PUHG…

@catiwat @RosieSimson We found the consultants were in general more likely to say sts... In fact this all started when a consultant told the sho to code closing an inguinal canal and skin in as STS!

@CCWearmouth Jehovah's witnesses gets them out of bed quite well...

Has anyone discovered the right combination of words to coax the endoscopist out of bed for an unstable GI bleed? Telling me to resuscitate the patient when I’ve already done that and they are continuing to bleed is never very helpful

What a pleasure organising Association of Defence General & Vascular Surgeons (ADGVS) conference at the @LDN_TC London Trauma Conf. Fantastic day, great dinner. Such a pleasure to be joined by @mlebairdMD from @USArmy! Great colleagues, great discourse, great collaboration 💪🏽

@Abi_Rimmer @gmcuk Thank you for sharing at the conference, you were incredibly inspirational!

My baby bunny has made it onto a @gmcuk graphic! (I spoke at the GMC symposium about my experience as a patient)

@MaxMarsden83 If it's getting in the way then get them to stop!

@HugoCohen8 What if it’s getting in your way, disrupting the CRM, steeling attention from what you want to achieve … or … worsening the outcome. Poor empty, now squashed, heart?

(External) Chest compressions in traumatic cardiac arrest?

Important and thought provoking article by @TriScalpel which is of relevance not just for those of us working in the DMS but probably any large organisation. militaryhealth.bmj.com/content/early/…

@NatashaMDay Send them to local EDs/hospitals!

@Michael_O96 Congratulations!

Very pleased to have passed MRCS part B in FY1 🙏🏿

@JAShuttleworth @salmannaeem217 I like the use of 'safe words' but trainees look at you a bit strangely when you introduce it...

@salmannaeem217 I do the tap out plan - I ask a junior to make eye contact and ask me to “put some gloves on”. I also specify the point I feel is vital, eg ETT through cords, wire in vessel, pulsatile flow from art line

I had always struggled supervising juniors doing procedures on patients. It was a challenge to get the best outcome for patient and supervisee When to be hands-off & when to be hands-on or when to stop and take over. Here is a 🧵on my current approach which I think works well

@cruncherwax @jabberwock951 Is this for decision making or because the team need help clerking?

Tired of seeing "if it was busy, why didn't you call the on-call consultant?" quoted by professional bodies. Probably because they're asleep, were at work all day and have to be at work the following day too. Why are we indulging this delusion they can fix "too busy"?
