Glorious rooftop ITU @ Kings but surprised to hear it heralded as the first… @uhpnhs.bsky.social did it beautifully from 2020 www.plymouthhospitals.nhs.uk/derriford-se...

Well. Sweden. Oh my… 🫣 #Eurovision #SemiFinal 🇸🇪

Frustrating: unlike social media the #BBCNews app cannot be muted for specific words like “Reform” or “Mason” or “Kuenssberg”

🚨 Hundreds of NHS staff a year are being investigated for sexual misconduct with many allowed back to work even after being found guilty. Now Britain's top surgeon says enough is enough and a radical overhaul is needed to protect staff & patients: www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

🗣️LED/SAS Surgeons - 🚨Conference Alert🚨 @rcsed.bsky.social link.rcsed.ac.uk/m/1/59154135...

Reflecting this #MotheringSunday that since official origin of our Orthopaedic Unit in 1947, I remain the only female substantive appointment in its history … That’s it. That’s the post. Now to enjoy a glorious lunch with the Child and gratefully cherish all that is good in our lives 💐

#BBC somewhat discombobulated by reporting fast-moving Actual News … #YouSayCyrpus #ISayCyprus

Day 12 and we finally have an answer to the question ‘can there be too much curling on telly’ #WinterOlympics

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

So what’s the secret here? Kevlar pants? Steel-plated quad guards? Why is he not screaming in lacerated agony? #WinterOlympics #BladesofSteel

“Torvill-and-Dean-1984-Sarajevo” is the #TeamGB ice dance equivalent of 1966… #WinterOlympics

Watching curling from behind a cushion Yes, CURLING #anxiety #WinterOlympics

Listening to the Beethoven piano concerto on R3 reminds me again how brilliant Dudley Moore's Colonel Bogey was.

Reacting to the Court of Appeal judgment in the James Gilbert case, our VP, Prof Vivien Lees said: “Staff targeted by James Gilbert’s behaviour will feel disappointed by today’s Court of Appeal judgment.” More from the BBC: https://ow.ly/MM1q50Y9WsN

BBC playing the sound so low … or I’m going deaf… yikes no Hazel Irvine at massive volume #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

Doing well. 2 out of 2 justifications for some of my established rituals which drive the Child mad: 1) build in at least one extra train ahead of the appointment time and 2) brown people *always* need the protection of a receipt at self-checkouts

Good luck to anyone starting the year with a new health regime. Here’s how mine always goes.

Don't say 'I told you so' Stuart, it's unedifying. 'Superflu' looking very much like normal flu. Worst flu season since... last year.

🎉Huge congratulations @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social OBE!! #NYHonours @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

Marvellous. Another week of cancelled operating. Suppose kinda glad they’re not abolished yet though… #JuryDuty

Struggling with this quite a lot tbh #jurytrials

The Child has asked me to desist in my commentary on Danny Mac as apparently I’m ruining the what’s left of her childhood… #Strictly

Hmm. H in his Jedward-era… #Strictly #Steps #Blackpool

A former UK prime minister held responsible for tens of thousands of deaths while the US president calls for elected politicians to be hanged. A jolt of a reminder that law and policy are ultimately about life and death. And politicians are often not up to dealing with such things.

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

This really the cracking of speeches: a banger. Worth reading in full.

Nope. Still don’t like this. Feels brutal #Strictly #SCD

First Christmas present bought, wrapped and labelled Now to hide it somewhere impossibly safe, never to be found again…

Hm. Either have a 5-judge panel Or have a Single(/Head) judge vote. But this looked off tonight. 2:1 lead just tossed aside. Where’s the scrutineer, let’s do proper ballroom marking #Strictly #SCD #RobshawRobbed

Yes me too - it’s mostly other specialisties who have bad memories of their short rotations as f1s or preconceptions of what a surgeons life is like who told me it’s not a job for a woman

Please share: QR code to join survey on gender bias My experiences of support from surgeons has been wholly positive: the *only* negativity I ever faced about career choices came in PRHO (F1) from physicians, possibly projecting their 1970s feelings about house jobs.
