Our Spinal webinar series continues this week! Wednesday 27th sep: Traumatic spinal cord injury Thursday 28th sep: Established SCI and degenerative c-spine Amazing consultant speakers lined up @drtintin99 @MarkKotter 🧠🇬🇧🇮🇪

Our national study found that for every one hour with patients, UK resident doctors spend four hours on admin. In @bmj_latest today, we break down why this isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a safety risk.  1) Fragmented EHRs → endless copy-paste re-entering data 2) Trainees turned into scribes 3) Less training, less confidence, less preparedness We suggest: • Reassign admin to allied staff • Joined-up IT that fits clinical workflows • Minimum patient-facing time requirement in training • Clinicians co-designing digital tools If you work in healthcare: what’s one admin task you’d automate or reassign tomorrow? 👇 Your answers might shape the fix-list. Thank you to my co-authors @KaranChhatwal_ @HamaadAKhan and Professor Stuart D. Rosen, and BMJ editors @Juliet_hd and @jolie__neill. You can find the link to the full BMJ piece in the comments. With thanks to @imperialcollege and @bmj_latest
