I’m sorry, is this satire? Unless I’m mistaken, here are the webpages describing the sessions at this conference

Draft terms of reference for NHS England registry for surgical mesh implants was to include hernia. It may now just be beginning with pelvic mesh

The NHS ARE funding a registry for surgical mesh implants, as mentioned. We saw it as our duty as patient advocates to lobby for this industry independent audit The original terms of reference document included hernia- if it’s excluded now that’s poor digital.nhs.uk/about-nhs-dig…

The majority of mesh complications are absolutely not captured in the literature. This is the key issue. As for politeness, I can’t tell you what it’s like to read of rude abusive treatment of hundreds of women by surgeons over and over again, for years. Here is a small sample

..in late 2018, matching England, I can’t see the SG referred to transabdominal mesh since in major documents E.g in their Cumberlege doc, the SG conflate pelvic/transvaginal & don’t mention care for transabdominal mesh This matters as these women are often gravely injured

It is ridiculous that 7 years since the Scottish govt suspended transvaginal mesh, they STILL haven’t gained a basic understanding of the different types of pelvic mesh. The SG response says mesh for POP was stopped in Scotland – untrue as transabdominal POP mesh is still used

@LadyCatHT @AngelaHaggerty @DaniGaravelli1 Scottish female journalists, this is worthy of attention holyrood.com/inside-politics…

What the haemorrhaging fuck is this? "Some patients experience strong pressure from extreme feminist groups to seek and maintain a controlling role in her life, over her destiny, and over the surgeon" Yes, cos too many of you are patronising misogynists causing excess harm

That textbook’s from 2015. 2015! Many who’ve not seen it 1st hand would be horrified by the blatant sexism in medicine, particularly in surgery At 29, I asked my surgeon straight up questions on the risk of dyspareunia with mesh, thinking I’d get an honest answer. I didn’t.
