@SMunigangaiah I’ve been going into RJAH for nearly 25 years @SMunigangaiah and never knew this - really interesting. Thankyou!

A simple orthopaedic intervention that changed survival forever ! During times of war, innovation is driven by urgency. One of the most powerful examples comes from Sir Robert Jones, a pioneering British Army surgeon who worked at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust and The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust . @AlderHey @RJAH_NHS A nephew of Hugh Owen Thomas, Jones came from a lineage of bone setters in Anglesey, North Wales. Building on this legacy, he championed the use of the Thomas splint in managing open femoral fractures during World War I. Although not widely adopted until 1916–1917, the impact was extraordinary. Early immobilisation of femoral fractures—before excessive handling and transport—meant patients reached casualty stations in significantly better condition, with reduced shock. The result? Mortality from gunshot wounds to the thigh fell dramatically—from nearly 80% to around 20%. To me, this remains one of the greatest orthopaedic interventions in modern medical history. I feel incredibly privileged to work in the very institutions where these advances were developed and implemented. The legacy continues even today ! Nearly 110 years on, this innovation still stands as a powerful reminder of how simple, thoughtful interventions can save countless lives. Please feel free to share an innovation that was developed at your hospital had made a significant contribution to medical field ! Wishing everyone a Happy Easter 🐣

Great article @DavidWalshST in @TimesSport this weekend in acknowledging the sport of RL and @hullkrofficial win vs Brisbane. Fantastic to see the sport get some recognition in the nationals and a complete contrast to previous articles in the paper….. 👇

Since my wife got psoriasis, I've learnt that not every flakey leftover on the kitchen side is a biscuit crumb.

@pickwick1978 Looking trim mate. Sorry didn’t call you back, had jobs at my mums to do after the rugby so got tied up with them. Will try again next time I’m up.
