Cormac - Running the British 10k Sunday 15th July 2 years post oesophagectomy “All I could control was how fit and prepared I was for surgery and recovery, I feel fitter that I have in years “ @ImperialCharity @ImperialNHS @Imperialpeople https://t.co/tPFCXV1ORr #british10k

Truly multidisciplinary meeting today getting our @PrepareSurgery programme expanded at the Hammersmith hospital. We prepare our patients not just physically but psychologically and nutritionally like you would for any major challenge.

Would you climb Everest having just read a few information leaflets or would you do some proper preparation? Launch event for Macmillan/NIHR/��@RCoANews⁩ prehabilitation event #prehab2019

Any UK AHPs attending/following #prehab2019 with a few minutes to spare...please complete our survey! We are trying to understand more about prehab services (and whether or not they exist in your area). #prehab #prehabilitation #worldprehabcongress

Are you a UK-based AHP working with people pre/post upper abdominal surgery? Please complete our prehabilitation survey! We want to know more about why AHPs do/don't provide prehab, and what the programmes look like. THANK YOU https://t.co/1WGqy7kbWm @ACPOPC

@SurgJournal @EwenGriffiths We rarely do CPEX testing and when we do it is nearly always to back up a decision not to operate. I find the @PrepareSurgery programme is a more meaningful assessment of fitness combined with more specific cardiac investigations when required.

Exciting new opportunity right here at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington - take a look 👩🏼‍⚕️✍🏻

Just over five years ago we removed Karl’s oesophageal cancer. Today we went out for a drink to celebrate. It’s moments like these that make my job the best job in the world.

(Krishna’s is pretty good too, but anaesthetists have more fun).

[Neil Bibby @neilbibby87]

Very interesting read and fully agree. Need to be measuring muscle mass and function in our cancer patients

Onkohealth Events: We are really excited to be collaborating with Richard Hoare for our Art. Talk. Health event. Our next event is on 29th Jan. Events are open to all people affected by cancer. https://t.co/pFQbKUrk6w for more info! #onkohealth #tailoredforyoudesignedforlife

I don’t understand why we haven’t studied and implemented physical and psychological training before we subject our patients to major surgery.

We wouldn’t run a marathon without training, why on earth do we allow our patients to undergo major surgery without it? #RCoAWinter
