@telswood @DrNeilGuptaIR @nhsuhcw @BSIR_News You don't have to - F2s are paid for by deanery so no cost to department. MP and I wrote a proposal for one, I'll chat to you next time I see you about it.

Having setup the first IR FY2 post in the UK @nhsuhcw in 2019, I was so proud to see one of my recent IR FY2's presenting @BSIR_News ASM in Brighton, having won a #BSIR2024 essay scholarship & the Best Scientific Poster Award! IR FY2 posts are such a worthwhile investment

Um, I think passing exams without access to essentially all the information on the internet is probably way more impressive... auntminnie.com/imaging-inform…

@Warren_IR @cirsesociety @ETF_IRtrainees @IRSA_IRs Main earner, integrated paeds IR into training = working away a lot, this + exams had already taken away a lot of time and money from my family, wasn't going to impact on getting consultant post, ?quite IO heavy which wasn't going to be much of my practice. No-brainer no for me.

Question for #irad #twittIR... Did you do EBIR? If not, why not? For newly graduated fellows, it seems a no-brainer from my perspective particularly if you are European based. What am I missing here?? @cirsesociety @ETF_IRtrainees @IRSA_IRs

@drsam_millar @JordanAR1995 Took a second to differentiate between football and IR chat here 🤣

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. 😂

@Secret_Squidgle @Dr_BellaR This plus legally blonde is the correct answer.

Featuring yours truly holding a giant coil. What more do you want from life.

@telswood NROC where you actually get called innit. Currently use a remote desktop through browser on my personal laptop so definite improvement!

A fully WORKING work laptop, three weeks before official start date? It's a #NHSMiracle

@Warren_IR @CVIR_Journal @ETF_IRtrainees I vote neither. "They told me to do it" isn't a good enough reason for my child to have done something so it isn't good enough for me. Equally the referring team often know the patient better/have a more holistic view. Where there is doubt, discuss and team decision (inc patient)

I recently wrote a commentary on clinical decision making in #irad using SRH as an example. Is our duty to do what we are asked/referred, or to make our own evidence-based decision and what we think is best for the patient? @CVIR_Journal @ETF_IRtrainees doi.org/10.1007/s00270…
