@GPjournalclub @drpoco @CizCG I also recall recommending this as an F2 but was never aware of how long the waiting list was! What other resources are there and how can we make GPs/trainees aware of this? #gpjc

@drpoco @CizCG I didn't realise for ages during my F2 job that the vitaminds leaflet/link for CBT had such a long waiting list - services are so stretched

that brings me onto management (and agree re waiting time for IAPT - sorry "NHS talking treatments" - are all these options available to your patients #gpjc

When we talk about #randomisation we often assume this implies a single common method of allocating participants to treatments, yet there are a variety of alternative approaches used in practice.

🧬 STARSurg GRANULE (Generating Student Recruiters for Randomised Trials) Course 🧬 GRANULE aims to equip the next generation of #academics with #skills for #trial recruitment. Organised successfully internationally, it has now arrived at #ASiT2023! 🔗 tinyurl.com/ASiTCo23

@ASiTofficial and the Surgical Specialty Associations have expressed serious concerns to changes and timelines of communication ahead of 2022-23 recruitment to surgical training. We will continue working with stakeholders to ensure the trainee voice is heard.

Could digital methods be used to improve shared learning in #Surgicalinnovation? @CS_Hoffmann, @drshelleypotter and the team hope that findings from their ongoing study will inform future strategies. News bit.ly/3rtUAk4 Study protocol bit.ly/3RxiKos
