Results of 2 giant randomized trials (>1000 pts each) of skin prep solution in closed and open lower extremity/pelvis fractures. Takeaway: for open fractures doesn’t matter, and for closed fractures, Duraprep (not betadine which is aqueous) is better than Chloraprep. Surprising.









We had our first committee meeting yesterday at the @RCSnews and it went brilliantly! Some of the things we discussed included - EST, CCT requirements, FRCS exams, ISCP and ARCP, Women in surgery, Fellowships, ST3interviews, and of course the upcoming 2024 BOTA Congress!














What a great meeting today- hosted by @gmcuk trying to find solutions to the issue of sexual misconduct, not just in surgery but in medicine. This meeting was organised by the Working Party on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery based on the survey we conducted last year
