Great to spend time with the surgical team at QA Hospital to see their ground-breaking work and use of technology to provide Portsmouth patients with better and quicker care. I saw firsthand a gallbladder removal using the Da Vinci surgical system.

@karimbrohi Congratulations and thanks Karim. Huge achievements. Hope all well 👍

After 10 years at the helm, today I'm handing over the reins as London Trauma System director. It's been an absolute privilege. Together we've built something very special. Your new co-directors are the most excellent Drs Anne Weaver and Malcolm Tunicliffe. 💙

Essential microskill for airway assistants! When intubating over a bougie, the bougie is placed into the trachea and the assistant places the tube over the bougie Because bougies are straight and tracheal tubes have a curve, there is a tendency for the bougie to hit against the inside of the 15 mm connector on the end of the tube An essential microskill for airway assistants is to gently straighten the tube so the bougie goes through the connector rather than hitting against it (Video best with sound on)

@epearsonphysio Congratulations 👏👏👏

Excited to officially be an approved trainer 🥰⭐️

@mancunianmedic @bmj_latest Both great examples David. I think we all too often make generalisations and miss opportunities to understand individuals motivations and acknowledge their reasoning and contribution. Symptom of relentless strain on systems but we need to encourage and support where deserved.

"What I’ve seen recently is a blanket, reflexive condemnation of any doctor who moves into a senior leadership role." We need doctors to take on leadership roles—so why do we bring them down? @mancunianmedic bmj.com/content/387/bm…
