Medicine is a distinct & elite profession & I’m getting tired of people trying pretend that there’s a shortcut to the years of hard work it takes to become a doctor

Tiered rotas are nothing more than gaslighting patients into worse care

I’m glad it’s being called out publicly

@OrthopodReg Congratulations Simon! Hope you're enjoying it down under

The peerless Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday at 100 years old. I am sure he would want us to celebrate his life by sharing his teaching. He was a wonderful wonderful man, take 9 minutes to learn the plexus from him - https://t.co/IdyqBOGRuh

Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday aged 100.

Fond memories of undergraduate anatomy at @Cambridge_Uni an inspiration and mentor to generations of doctors

May he rest in peace

Very excited to continue my clinical and translational work as I progress to higher neurosurgical training, and in my future practice!

Very happy to have been awarded my #PhD from the @UCLBrainScience Queen Square Institute of Neurology!

This was a fantastic experience developing and integrating new technologies, including #robotics, a surgical trial, computer-assisted planning tools, #ML & #AI in Neurosurgery.

It goes without saying that none of this work would happen without the fantastic patients and their families who have kindly agreed to be involved, as well as the generous funding of the @wellcometrust, whose contributions to clinical research are invaluable.

There is no credible justification for this.

Very lucky to work as part of an excellent team, and particular thanks to Dr Cam Elliott (not on X), and the stellar lineup of external experts @VejayVakharia @Zt_PedNeurosurg Dr Mirza, Mr Tisdall, Dr Li & co-authors & funders that made this work possible!
