🚨 New project on our site! Surgeon often modify new surgical procedures as they are introduced into practice BUT they don't always document these modifications. Our team will develop a framework to: 1️⃣identify 2️⃣classify 3️⃣report modifications More info👇 bristolbrc.nihr.ac.uk/improving-how-…

🆕🆕🆕🆕 ❓AIM: How are modifications reported in IDEAL-cited papers? 🤯RESULTS: Only 68% of Stage 2a and 33% of Stage 2b reported ANY modifications. Within this, huge variation/inconsistencies. 🤓READ: shorturl.at/HCMGJ

@TheTraumaSurg Great news, well done!!

When I was in medical school, I was told I didn’t have the dedication to succeed as a surgeon. I took that personally. I have used it to fuel a deep commitment to make real, lasting change. I am dedicated to improving the workplace for the surgeon who operates on our loved ones—ensuring that both current and future generations of surgeons are supported, valued, and empowered to thrive. Today, I am deeply honored to have been nominated to the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Throughout my career, I’ve fought for better surgical training and working conditions, and now, I look forward to the opportunity to represent surgeons from all backgrounds. As a father of four, I know what it means to balance a demanding career with family life, and I will bring that perspective to this role. Thank you for this incredible opportunity. Together, we can make a meaningful difference—for our members, our profession, and the future of surgery.

@NHSE_WTE So a clinical training programme for 'medically trained health professionals' - but not doctors? Am I missing something? Gastro/surgical trainees are already having their CCTs delayed (at the expense of HEE). It's a bit late in the year for an April Fools Joke!

Physician Associates are now eligible to apply for our Clinical Endoscopist Training programme. Find out more about the programme and how to apply on our website 👉orlo.uk/2Da2m

@HansardSociety @YuanfenYang Imagine if NHS inductions were this efficient!

🧵What do newly-elected MPs do to get set up in this first week in Parliament? The eagle-eyed among you may have seen new MPs receiving a white envelope from the Returning Officer after their victory was announced. Pictured is @YuanfenYang with hers. It contains a letter....1/

A fantastic opportunity to join our dynamic, talented and enormously friendly Upper GI team in Gloucestershire. A wonderful place to work and a beautiful place to live. If you want to give me shout I can tell you more. jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba… Retweets appreciated

Very happy to be sharing this piece on EGS care in England. Certainly not what I thought it would turn out to be! Biggest headline is >50% of hospitals will have a dedicated EGS service in the next 5 years! Time for a subspeciality?? doi.org/10.1308/rcsbul…

“Surgical care practitioners should not undertake laparoscopic cholecystectomies.” Our Council has expressed alarm about the potential safety risks to patients & impact on training of recently described practices. Read more here: rcseng.ac.uk/news-and-event…

Sandpit session off to a good start #IDEALConference

Only 1/4 of @IDEALCollab 2a innovative studies reported ANY modifications... things urgently need to change! @jamesolivierSW is developing a framework to identify and report modifications. Really important work funded by @RCSnews.

@tanyasikand bloomsburysurgery.nhs.uk/team/raj-gill Misleading at best...

Why has he got Dr in front of his name

@DrGoblin3 @drammarahughes bloomsburysurgery.nhs.uk/team/raj-gill Not particularly clear that this individual is a PA and not a GMC registered GP from this page - misleading to patients

I suspect most people looking at this would still assume Raj is a medically qualified doctor. He should not use the title in a workplace setting. @drammarahughes this isn’t going to go away.

@CSR_Bris @RCSnews Thank you! Look forward to working with both @CSR_Bris and @RCSnews on surgical innovation!
