@Surgival Hi. I’m trying to get some information about your distal radius locking plates. Do you have a UK representative I can discuss with?

[Andrew Mahon @MahonHand]

Very positive meeting today. Working to improve hand trauma care across the UK.

[The Royal College of Surgeons of England @RCSnews]

We are excited to launch our HandsFirst QI Collaborative today! Alongside Clinical Lead @sarahtucker68 and Council member @Vivien_Lees, we will be working with 25 trusts and health boards to improve care for hand trauma patients. Find out more and #TryQI https://t.co/9yvBvsvg3X

Excellent article with some fantastic people.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Absolutely astonishing. Yet you said you’d do everything to protect us, @MattHancock?

[Daniel Ford @dj_ford]

This has been a really tough day. It's been a long time since I have shed so many tears at work. Sadly, I know it is going to get tougher. Please stay safe and keep looking after each other. ❤

Start of first virtual hand MDT including case presentations #SocialDistancing @BSSHand

We're urging people to take extra care to avoid gardening accidents & injuries that could place unnecessary pressure on the NHS

An increase in use of power tools, lawn mowers & hedge trimmers could lead to a rise in injuries, putting strain on our overburdened health service

[Cerys Matthews @cerysmatthews]

Feeling for those who don't live in a country with NHS. Imagine having no NHS, and no health insurance, and being American right now. #Coronavid19

[Clare Richards (professional name: Clare Langley) @ClareRLangley]

This morning I asked junior surgical doctors to go and work in intensive care for foreseeable future. They are all scared for their families and themselves. Not one said no. Very grateful to work with such courageous people. @MattHancock @uhcw

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed.

Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers.

It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff.

@IFSSHand @IFSHandTherapy @IfsshIfsht2019 @BAHTHandtherapy @leannemiller247 @brightchicky @Ecko1957 @BSSHand Congratulations Nicola. Well deserved

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

There we have it. @Nigel_Farage calls today for private health firms “to relieve the burden” of the NHS.

A vote for his “Brexit party” (which is actually a private company) is a vote against the NHS.

For Farage, it’s private capital every time. https://t.co/UBk8TlNG1V

@Purityale @VeloBirmingham Good luck to all. Wishing I could be there but have to work.

[British Society for Surgery of the Hand @BSSHand]

As @NHSEngland highlighted, #bankholiday weekends often see a spike in injuries - @BSSHand and @BAPRASvoice want you to look after your hands if doing #DIY or #Gardening this weekend

[Andrew Mahon @MahonHand]

@JuncturaTheorum I’d get a CT to assess degree of displacement and communition. How I fix would depend on CT findings. Some displaced acute #s can be treated percutaneously if they reduce closed. Would consider arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous fixation. Acute # unlikely to need graft.

@cerysmatthews Great to see the Matthews family at the dinner and your entertaining and heartfelt speech about a great man who inspired me to become a hand surgeon.
