This afternoon we expressed our frustrations on your behalf regarding the delay in the FRCS Part 1 results. This situation is unacceptable and not how our trainees deserve to be treated.
We fully appreciate the stress this delay has caused and we will continue to support you.

We are extremely disappointed with this decision. It is not in the interests of patients, the NHS or the people of South Yorkshire.
Removing prescriptions risks widening health inequalities and places an unfair burden on patients and GPs, while saving less than 0.01 percent of the ICB’s budget.

Absolutely devastated to have lost a mentor, fellow Cav and more importantly a great guy - completely lost for words
Honouring the life and legacy of James Fountain—a remarkable surgeon, colleague, husband, father, and friend. He touched countless lives and will be deeply missed.@BritOrthopaedic @BritishHip

Much of what needs to happen is contained in england.nhs.uk/long-read/edu…
All consultants can “pay forward” their own training
I’m v happy to provide data to show how far from training recovery we are.
We can’t accept where we are
Leadership from (all) surgical SSAs required

Exclusive 🚨
Benhard Janse van Rensburg will be available for England from the autumn of 2026 after World Rugby ruled that the Bristol centre could switch allegiances from South Africa.
Another midfield boost for Steve Borthwick.

Thanks team. As I said last night I suspect any of us could have won and it was an honor to be nominated alongside Lucky and Jim.
The work BOTA so is fantastic and I look forward to working with future committees as both trainees and future consultant colleagues.

There’s ~£14k which follows each and every trainee to a trust. Where does it go and why doesn’t it make it into AES job plans?
