And a big shout out to the ever brilliant @high_CSC for helping to film some of the course videos used to generate thought-provoking discussion.

Another brilliant article by the most thoughtful and curious orthopaedic surgeon I've met.

Not sure he can write a bad one. Some very touching personal narratives from Hiro Tanaka

Enjoyable day teaching on @RCSEd #CoSMoS course - Comm Skills that Matter for Surgeons. Great lessons on Shared Decision Making & the complexities of communicating risk. Proud of my friend & colleague @Rungichungi who developed and implemented. Edinburgh looking 👍 in the Sept 🌞

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

I first met Peter on a very cold street one evening, as junior doctors rallied before taking strike action (in 2015! Many moons ago!). He’s an absolutely lovely person. If anyone isn’t following him yet, please do 💙🌟

@RCSEdFRRHH @RCSEd @andrewwkent @UKMed Congratulations Andy. Well deserved. Everyone at NHS Highland very proud!

[Chase Surgical @ChaseSurgical]

St Marks retractor great for deep, difficult to see places like the pelvis. Version with a light source even better. 👍👍 My most pressing question is should there be an apostrophe…🧐🧐
