Hamish's claim to fame: supporter of the Consultants team at University Challenge @BAUSurology - sadly the team was a bit thick and lost

Hamish was in Tabriz Iran for the Bristol Urodynamics course, learning about testing urinary symptoms. Sophisticated assessment!

Quick off the mark, lucky Hamish at the World Athletics Champs for Usain's last 100M. Sad result, but great atmosphere!

That's dedication; give them your support everyone! twitter.com/tuftyhamish/st…

A little THANK YOU en-route to our sites for their hard work & continued support for @UPSTREAM_trial 😀 #KeepPushing #LUTS #Urodynamics

We have recruited 800!!! So well done by everyone, sincere thanks to team and patients. Recruitment will close on 24/12.

3 recruits at Epsom, 1 at East Kent today puts us on 777 overall

We are past 760, so it's going to be close to hit 800 by Christmas. Please keep inviting men with LUTS to join the study.

We've recruited 740 in UPSTREAM, ...still 60 to go and only a few weeks left to recruit. Each recruit matters, every site needs to chip in.

HTA has agreed to our trial extension, so recruitment can continue until December.

We still need another 83 men to reach our recruitment target... #KeepPushing! We can do it...

700th participant just recruited; fantastic effort. 100 more to go and we've reached our target. #KeepPushing
