Standing for re- election to RCS Council. If, like me, you are concerned about long waiting lists and lack of training opportunities then I would welcome your vote
Another outstanding Leicester graduate
TY!! So many services to showcase - have a look @gerisoc website! Including ours @GSTTnhs which like @geriatricsdoc sees around 170 older people a month in ED & supports 70% to get home without needing admission. System level change is possible!! @GSTTGeriatrics @icabbs @NHSGIRFT
Excellent John
Keep doing all you can to raise awareness of PAD
Delighted to share my first piece for @ConversationUK
Hoping to be able to write more to raise awareness of #PAD!

A brilliant lead in the anatomy department @KeeleUniversity, fingers crossed for the win!
We are delighted that our Anatomy Manager Paul Clews has been shortlisted in the 2023 Times Higher Education Outstanding Technician of the Year Award. Paul is a wonderful colleague and always goes above and beyond for staff and students timeshighereducation.com/new…
The aim was to raise awareness and stimulate a discussion. Good to see everyone talking. Beware of anecdotes and n=1. Read POISE3 and the other papers
Happy to have been re-elected as Chair of NHSEI Clinical Reference Group (CRG) for Vascular Services (after a competitive interview). Also promoted to National Specialty Advisor for Vascular. Lots to do

RCT of Tranexamic acid (TXA) vs placebo in non cardiac surgery published by @NEJM this week. TXA reduces bleeding and does not really increase cardiovascular events (although the paper suggests this is not definite, it is good enough for me). tinyurl.com/384zk2xc
Good to see the value of limb salvage clinics being highlighted
Delighted to present on behalf of @vsgbi at @CXSymposium. We too often fail to recognise success. Important to share the achievements of Manchester’s MARS and Leicester’s VaLS.
Just read the elective recovery plan for surgical backlog. No real mention of training of trainees. No training today no consultants tomorrow @VSGBI @RouleauxClub @ASiTofficial @RCSnews
Many surgical units at reduced capacity- bad for patients, bad for trainees. Vote in the RCS Council elections to try and fix this
Excellent

Standing for RCS Council next week. V worried about the backlog, loss of training & exhausted surgeons. If this concerns you- would welcome support
Congrats. Two Annals papers is very impressive. Keep going
Great to see @RegentLee at my alma mater @UniofOxford moving forward our understanding and treatment of #Aortic disease @AorticDissectUK @THINK__AORTA
