Standing for re- election to RCS Council. If, like me, you are concerned about long waiting lists and lack of training opportunities then I would welcome your vote

TY!! So many services to showcase - have a look @gerisoc website! Including ours @GSTTnhs which like @geriatricsdoc sees around 170 older people a month in ED & supports 70% to get home without needing admission. System level change is possible!! @GSTTGeriatrics @icabbs @NHSGIRFT

Very pleased to hold the author’s copy of Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery. Such an honour to write the Liver Transplantation chapter in the book with the legend Professor Mohamed Rela! So grateful to him, my family, friends and well wishers..#Bailey&Love #Surgery

The aim was to raise awareness and stimulate a discussion. Good to see everyone talking. Beware of anecdotes and n=1. Read POISE3 and the other papers

RCT of Tranexamic acid (TXA) vs placebo in non cardiac surgery published by @NEJM this week. TXA reduces bleeding and does not really increase cardiovascular events (although the paper suggests this is not definite, it is good enough for me). tinyurl.com/384zk2xc

Delighted to present on behalf of @vsgbi at @CXSymposium. We too often fail to recognise success. Important to share the achievements of Manchester’s MARS and Leicester’s VaLS.

Just read the elective recovery plan for surgical backlog. No real mention of training of trainees. No training today no consultants tomorrow @VSGBI @RouleauxClub @ASiTofficial @RCSnews

Many surgical units at reduced capacity- bad for patients, bad for trainees. Vote in the RCS Council elections to try and fix this
