Oxford Professor @trishgreenhalgh's team has examined the evidence for the safety of deploying physician associates in the UK. TL:DR - it doesn't exist. Her systematic review is out today. A hugely significant piece of work that has major implications for the #LengReview.
Day 1 of the Bristol Comprehensive Advanced Skull Base Dissection Course Great to be back with excellent colleagues and friends with a shared interest in endoscopic skullbase surgery and training 3D anatomy lectures, international faculty and delegates and lots of lab time

A novel and interesting experience yesterday - the first use of an #exoskeleton in neurosurgery I wore the exoskeleton for an extended endonasal approach for a craniopharyngioma and a more straightforward endoscopic pituitary I’m a convert hapo.eu/en/

#UBE in Switzerland with @EdgeMedicalUK and Nexon and some colleagues from London Thanks to edge medical for supporting us Excellent course!



Another excellent 3 day neuro-endoscopic course completed at Aesculap Academy Tuttlingen We changed the course slightly to create more lab time, condensed some lectures, and endoscopic transorbital approaches has now become a very popular and permanent 1/2 day component




I don’t know what the @GMC ‘s purpose is anymore I suspect the patients don’t know either If the GMC continues on this course- I think we need a new regulator as this one is no longer fit for purpose and potentially is putting patients at risk

Misleadingingly contextualised piece, @NickTriggle, which relies, predictably enough, on those infamous anonymous NHS senior sources. The crux of the issue is not, as you claim, 'the speed at which [PAs] are being recruited". 1/n bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
