Orthopaedic surgeon retires at the age of 80.
"A true legend, an exceptional teacher, and a humble human being. Mr Chris Curwen, a legendary orthopaedic surgeon, retires at the age of 80."
Everyone here at BOTA is devastated at the loss of an incredible and wonderful human.
You were one of a kind, a truly inspirational BOTA President who led with compassion, humility and joy.
Ollie will be sorely missed.
As a consultant doctor rota'd to cover for residents should they strike next week I'm kinda embarrassed the Health Secretary thinks so little of me & my senior colleagues who have the most training & experience that we'd endager patients if we stepped in to cover the strikes.
Another #BOAFLP cohort begins talking about leadership goals and the role of leadership in driving patient care forwards..

A tipping point has been reached.
Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.
Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.
You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.
🚨80% of Gazans killed today were murdered at GHF sites by the IDF while waiting for FOOD
Not in "battles", not in "surgical strikes", not in "Khamas tunnels"... just starving children, women & men lured into death traps with a false promise of food then gunned down sadistically
Wow the Leeds @AOUKEd trauma courses for ortho surgeons are underway. Amazing faculty , wonderful community . Continuously learning together with trainees . Loving it as always . 🙏
Children in #Gaza are enduring unimaginable suffering.
According to @UNICEF, over 950 have reportedly been killed in just two months.
They are starving, displaced, and exposed to indiscriminate attacks.
This must stop.
Children must be protected.
Congratulations to all those who successfully got an ST3 number!
Those that missed out, it’s a tough process, you’ve all done extremely well. Please keep trying! Hard work eventually does pay off we promise!
