Prof Ewen Harrison

@lap_chloe Thanks Chloe. Sorry we didn't get a chance to catch-up!

Prof Harrison delivering the keynote Allgöwer Lecture titled “Surgical AI Needs Surgeons” 🤖👩🏻‍⚕️ takeaway—innovation must be driven by the teams who deliver care, and it is our responsibility to ensure global equitable deployment

Special thanks to Professors @ewenharrison and @Sivesh93 for leading this huge tremendous multinational effort. A powerful example of what global collaboration can achieve in surgery. @cosecsa @MakCHS_SOM @RCSI_GlobalSurg @NIHR_GSU @alligator_study #GlobalSurgery #GECKOStudy

Professor Ewen Harrison will deliver the historic Abraham Colles Lecture at the 2026 RCSI Charter Meeting. He will explore the role of artificial intelligence in advancing safer, smarter surgical practice. See the rest of the programme and register ➡️ rcsi.com/dublin/news-an…

I woult like to thank the @EdinburghUni and @ewenharrison and his team, and @NIHR_GSU for their help in setting up this center that will greatly contribute to the training of our learners. See you from September 1st to 5th for the Workshop on statistical analysis.

Risk factors and mitigating measures associated with bile duct injury during cholecystectomy: meta-analysis ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope… This meta-analysis examined risk factors and preventive measures for bile duct injury (BDI) following cholecystectomy. The results, based on 31 studies involving over 6.5 million surgeries, identified male sex and acute cholecystitis as significant risk factors. The study suggests that preoperative risk stratification could help improve decision-making and potentially reduce the risk of BDI. 👏👏👏Rowan Burns , Katie L Connor , Rachel V Guest , Chris C Johnston , @ewenharrison , @ProfW_edinsurg , @Asherief #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery @young_bjs @juliomayol @JJEarnshaw @OUPMedicine #some4hpb #some4tpl @hpb_so #cholecystectomy

@ewenharrison @RCSEd #ICOSET 🤖 AI in medicine will be more transformative than 💻the internet, perhaps even Edison’s 💡 … but needs the human touch What an inspiration morning it’s been

@ProfW_edinsurg @ewenharrison Excellent HPB case discussions with the team in Edinburgh Royal infirmary Thank you for the invitation & for hosting me! @profp_edinsurg @IHPBA @EAHPBA @RCSEd @for_surgeons

This would not be possible without the help of @ewenharrison @Katie_Shaw24 @NIHR_GSU and the wellcome leap SAVE program, which has made it possible to equip the simulation center of the @fssuac and aims to improve the training of surgeons through simulation

Great experience to attend the HealthyR course last week at @uniofedinburgh Would highly recommend it to those interested. Thanks to @ewenharrison and his team. (Also an amazing city to explore in the evening!)

@dnepo @jakepmann I guess this is the famous plot from Wikipedia which I think makes the point well. We’re not good at judging proportions on a polar axis. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Piec…

Highlight of the day so far: I'm make a circular graph based on some data from md.hugeamp.org and enjoyed calling it "huge_pie"

Applications close on October 23rd for our PhD project in collaboration with Roche closes using LLMs and other AI tools to harmonise healthcare data to improve patient outcomes. Full details here - edin.ac/4dH1tnJ

So happy to launch Project AiCCESS (Artificial Intelligence for Comprehensive Care, Equity and Sustainability in Surgery) w/ @divvya20k from @RutgersU @RWJMS @rwjsurgery at #DHAI2024! Using AI to address surgical disparities !!! @ProjectAiCCESS @amypmurtha @pturnermd @bratogram

Recruitment for the next ECAT intake (August 2025) is now live: Health & Care Professionals bit.ly/3BwaPFn #clinicalphd #ecat #clinicalacademic @wellcometrust

@isalerts Is alerts.is.ed.ac.uk down? And Learn? Thanks.

@chrisvarghese98 @_Riinu_ @SurgData That’s really exciting! Looking forward to hearing what you found.

All enabled by #R, #finalfit and #shiny, building on the epic work from @ewenharrison and @_Riinu_ at @SurgData! 🙏

Highly engaged budding #academics trawling the #APOLLO data to deliver the best abstract in this @EuroSurg #hackathon @escp_tweets 2024! 🤓💻

🏔️ A new milestone has been reached! 🔵 Out now in @TheLancet Transmet Trial 💥 Liver Transplantation + chemotherapy superior to chemo alone in permanently unresectable CRLM 📈 5-year overall survival 56·6% vs. 12.6% A new era has begun?! 🧐 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Lots of talk about potential benefits of AI in T&O at #BOACC24. There is however a massive gap between early promise and subsequent clinical implementation. Our new CPI-AI framework aims to solve this issue and support safe/trustworthy AI development boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

Great start to the @NIHR_GSU meeting at Mexico with an opening session from @ramosdelamedina Looking forward to the next few days of discussions @NIHRglobal #NIHRGSU24

“There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.” Amazing opening to #NIHRGSU24 by @ramosdelamedina - so inspiring!
