Youngest (Erin) came home buzzing today having met @SorchaEastwood in ‘real life’ representing @harmonyhillps so brilliantly in the school council.
Thanks everyone for making her feel so special.
We are very proud of them both here in Lagan Valley Lisburn - GREAT role model.

Shift from monitoring weight loss to improvement in #obesity related complications, QoL and life expectancy as #obesitysurgery success measures.

One to repost and bookmark for all surgeons.
I might be @ethicon trained but we all bow down to @rbarbosa91 as the captain of insight and suture based real world investigations into 'but can it hold a melon ?' .Delightful. @JNJMedTechUKI

Once again: a🧵about 🧵's
It's been about a year since I last posted these, but for the new folks, here is a collection of links to each of my 🧵 about surgical sutures.
9 of these are about suture types and the other 3 are miscellaneous suture-related topics.

We must address the root causes of #obesity #stigma Obesity is a NOT a self-inflicted lifestyle behaviour driven by a lack of personal responsibility for health. Weight/Obesity is not a behaviour. @WorldObesity @EASOobesity @Bias_180 @ECPObesity @ICPObesity

Despite efforts to reframe #obesity as a chronic disease, #stigma persists.
Is it time to rebrand obesity?

Together we need to tackle this regional healthcare inequality NOW.
We are the last country in the westernised world WITHOUT an obesity service. The science & evidence is clear; Intervention prevention = cost savings. @mikenesbittni
