Who was spent 3 hours this morning trying to do one chart in R, only to realise the error is coming because the variable which is intuitively a factor needs to be formatted as a number #rstats

Hot off the press: Paper synthesising the lived experience of people with #pilonidal disease. Prevalence of anxiety a surprising finding. Impact on work, ADLs and body image less surprising, but still important. Useful for consultations? doi.org/10.1111/codi... #some4surgery #surgicalresearch

Somehow (completely by accident) ended up at PMT in Birmingham today and came home with a new practice amp and usb audio interface. Maybe a cheap bass at Christmas? Now to brush off 5+ years of limited practice.... #some4surgery

Was in #patientengagement meeting about #pilonidalsinus disease yesterday. Interesting to hear stories - lots to learn about service and trial design. Was struck by the 'anxiety' aspect for healed patients. Something we should think about more? #surgicalresearch #some4surgery

Today in life of a #surgicalacademic: - Consultant meeting - Ward reviews & quick admin check-in - Governance application for ASTEROID ( #hernia study) - #SSL catch up & planning - Trying to finish the #WSCA paper! #some4surgery #surgicalresearch

I see @josiewalshaw.bsky.social has joined Bluesky. Part of team #SBO/#EGS research Definitely not my research fellow (despite 4 papers and two prize session presentations in the last 12 months...) #some4surgery

AFAR is slowly making progress towards the magic 500 figure and finishing the study... 110 recruits to go, and then we will have prospective data on the rate of new onset post-op #AF after #colorectalsurgery #justkeepswimming #some4surgery

First SSL meeting at #RCSEng as #EGS SSL today. Great room to be in, lots of great ideas in progress by other SSL and trials units, massive impact of the trials initiative over last decade. Have left with a long to do list & ideas +++ #some4surgery

17th November and I've just been Whamgeddoned. Too early.

Excited to be appointed as one of two new specialty leads for Emergency #surgery #research in the UK, supported by ASGBI. Lots of opportunities to support development of high quality & patient focused research in UK! #some4surgery

This afternoon is brought to you by run throughs of the #surgery #OSCEs (having spent time checking through materials over the last two weeks). Hadn't fully appreciated the amount of work that goes into making sure these exams work as they are meant to! #some4surgery

Great work from Josie Walshaw at ASGBI #EGS symposium yesterday, winning the prize for best presentation. This was the highlights of our recent #SBO ACTION cohort. - Variation of use in gastrografin in adhesive SBO - Contrast use associated with delayed and increased op rate #some4surgery

We are at *that* point in a project where people are asking for (repeated) tweaks to tables in the #R markdown... #surgicalresearch

Great week in #surgicalresearch - needed too! 2*grant peer review back for response on #egs projects More work on #sbo action analysis Supervision/mentorship of residents & student projects PhD student passed with minor amendments Love my job.
