Looking for a colleague! We have a vacancy for a gastroenterology consultant to join our vibrant team in one of the most beautiful parts of England.
Cornwall is great for family life but is no walk in the park. We need a “jack of all trades” gastroenterologist to manage a diverse and intellectually stimulating caseload, but with opportunities to sub-specialise.
Please spread the word and get in touch if interested.

Powered toothbrushing after a stroke
Read about the new study by @MiliDOshi7 @MCM_HEKSS registered at #ISRCTN
isrctn.com/ISRCTN12845204
ALT Senior woman brushing teeth with electric toothbrush in bathroom - stock photo
ALT Background and study aims After a stroke, many people find it difficult to clean their mouth, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, pain, infections, and other health problems. This study aims to see whether using a powered toothbrush, along with personalised oral care advice, can help people improve their oral hygiene. Who can participate? Residents of the rehabilitation unit at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability who have had a stroke. What does the study involve? Participants will learn how to use a powered toothbrush and take part in short interviews and observations about their mouth care routine. Staff and carers will receive brief training to support residents. Oral health will be assessed before and after using the powered toothbrush to see if it helps.
