I had the honour of both working for and looking after Dr Legget as a house officer at Auckland Hospital. Glad to see him posthumously recognised in the New Years Honours. A truly remarkable man. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

New paper from our team showing system factors affect recognition & management of complications... No 'weekday' or 'weekend' effect for patients having elective OR emergency colorectal cancer surgery... BUT reoperation later in the week associated with higher mortality! doi.org/10.1111/codi...

Tranexamic acid is NOT a replacement for meticulous surgical harmostasis.

Published! A #qualitative review of ERAS implementation (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, not the Swiftie tour 🤣) with Georgia Tobiano, Wendy Chaboyer, Josie Lovegrove, Keith Addy and Brigid Gillespie. Spoiler alert- evidence and goodwill only goes so far without RESOURCING. #MedSky #SurgerySky

Always good to hear Dr Chris Varghese speak, this time an update on the impressive work of Australasian collaborative research with >35 publications so far. Persisting challenges are a paucity of clinical academic training tracks, geographic dispersion, and (😤) ethics. #NAASC24

Great talk at RACS academic meeting from @drcamwells.bsky.social on defining failure to rescue… such an important metric for quality improvement in surgery #surgsky

A great primer for rising leaders - a hard lesson to learn. #MedSky #SurgSky #Leadership
