@UKGastroDr Answers: 1. I trained them 2. Yes they do 3. I don’t know - but FIT, rigid sigmoidoscopy& proctoscopy are not under their remit 4. All cases are audited & outcomes reported to the PCN. Where there is uncertainty, cases are discussed directly with me +- fast-tracked to 2ndary care

I asked questions - which isn’t unreasonable. What training have the PAs undergone to be qualified to assess via proctoscopy? Do the patients know they are being assessed by a PA? Are JAG happy with this service? What are your QA processes?

@UKGastroDr @UKGastroDr these are carefully screened patients - all under 50 yrs with negative FIT - people with benign pathology who are currently waiting > 1 yr to see a colorectal surgeon. Please get your facts straight before panning this initiative on X.

The dV Xi has arrived at UCH! Privileged to collaborate with @ManishChandSurg and Chris Wood on the robotic colorectal programme. We are immensely grateful to our amazing team of theatre nurses, anaesthetists, hospital administrators and people at Intuitive for making this happen

(1/2) Last week I went to work differently — by ambulance instead of bicycle, arriving in intensive care instead of hospital offices🚨 I’m not one for personal posts, but as a doctor and #healthcare specialist I’ve shared a few life lessons ⬇️ linkedin.com/posts/dredward… #Bermuda🇧🇲
