I agree

[Iskandar Mohamed @iskandarmohamed]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 Any doctor in the UK in support of totally random allocation for any other grouping of doctors should be the first ones to offer themselves to go to whichever place in the UK is in "greatest need" of their expertise. After all, all patients deserve care from our brightest.

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

You just replied what are u talking about

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

Do the people in these areas not deserve care from our allegedly brightest? The F 1 s are trained to give help why shouldn't they be sent to these areas

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

Sounds like it's their training needs to focus on basics first

[Joe Gabriel @urologicalsurg]

How many ST3 Urology trainees can expect to be on the console in a robotic case day 3 of their job? Perhaps our training and exposure this side of the pond needs an overhaul...

Robotic surgery has an exciting future with better efficiency, enhanced surgical planning & fewer complications, in the era of #AI as long as we engage with it responsibly

If non inferior I presume equivalence for local surgery to tele surgery therefore OK to carry on doing it locally. Is there a suggested role for tele surgery ?

Prosper is a town of 38,000. When we say defund the police we mean stop using the money we could spend on our communities on absurd military vehicles for cops.

and thankyou for joining our amazing Urology team at Macquarie University Hospital. much appreciated. A short visit but much valued

[Wai Gin (Don) Lee @donwglee]

What a privilege to support excellent colleagues @NNJeffery @AmandaSJChung @DrMarniqueB Down Under. Thanks @Coloplast_MD @ED_solutions_CP for making it happen! @USANZUrology @uclh

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

A quick reference back to the much lauded Australian system - it only works because almost half of population have private insurance in part mandated and a high percent of many procedures performed in private hospitals People pay their own insurance with some tax breaks

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

actually base "consultant" salaries in NSW 200-300$ at best so similar to nhs or a little higher

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs not in Sydney if public. no way near x10. maybe x 2 private practice will multiply it

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

i agree entirely. Danger of seeing grass greener elsewhere when stuff can be fixed if politicians willing and capable. Uk and Australia both have fine systems both struggling but hopefully fixable for patients and those caring for them

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs also how much would a london teaching hospital based consultant cardiac surgeon add to income from private practice? that would be comparing like with like

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs if just comparing public australia versus nhs no where near x10 x2 or 3 if senior the private sector here howrver is larger.

VMO consultant posts advertised in queensland recently offered 250 to 350 thousand dollars. probably some additional benefits

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs public depends on seniority etc. some allowance for private in public better cpd allowance less leave i think

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@adityam2000 @sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs depends on speciality. surgeons maybe 60/40 in favour of private. varies a lot. private income will outstrip public in most

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

@sandy_gujral @tsoburol @GSTTnhs not in Sydney if public. no way near x10. maybe x 2 private practice will multiply it

[David Gillatt @Urogill]

rubbish

@jakeshieldsajj Go back and look at the Balfour declaration and the US entering world war 1. Israel has been a well thought out plan.
