@mstotty88 @JBarclay89 Fundamentally though if LTFT gets approved in advance (this is the key step when deaneries should check feasibility!) even if it’s just to lie in bed one day a week less (no justification needed) then it has to be respected!

4/4

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@mstotty88 @JBarclay89 Can I ask how gender played a part? I am LTFT for a paid academic fellowship working with colleagues male and female LTFT for childcare. I find we get respected similarly as I am fundamentally not paid by the clinical side 2 days a week.

1/n

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@mstotty88 @JBarclay89 I also assume this is a real life scenario hence the mentioning of specific genders rather than hypothetical but genuinely wondering do you think that if the genders were reversed the female academic trainee would not have been pressured into going FT?

3/n

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@mstotty88 @JBarclay89 In this scenario I assumed rather than gender it was the fact the academic trainee was doing it out of choice rather than an external 3rd party (research body paying them/childcare availability/another partners time commitment) so was wrongly not taken as seriously.

2/n

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@mstotty88 No it’s totally not appropriate but the fact that the academic trainee is being pressured to become full time does not mean that the alternative solution is for the other trainee to also compromise. LTFT applications go in well in advance and once approved must be honoured

Huge thanks to @Medtronic for supporting myself and @Vasha_Kaur organise a fantastic day teaching the juniors how to use devices involved in sleeve gastrectomies and practicing our lap skills on the LapSim. Days like this remind us why surgery is the best.

@TarakChouari @RCSnews @Adam_Frampton1 @TimothyRockall @GuildfordHpb @UniOfSurrey Proud of you pal ♥️

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@JustPark Still not properly sorted. Still waiting for one refund!!! You owe me 6 and I have now finally had 5

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@JustPark I am absolutely fed up. I have been charged for an extra 5 months for a booking that was cancelled in January. After spending hours fighting this you returned 4/5 charges.

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

You have ignored my email sent 1 week ago chasing the 5th and now have charged me again today!!! You owe me £185. Order 66506454

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

@JustPark I keep being told it is under investigation and that somebody will call me. Nobody has called me and no refund timeline has been given. I have made it clear I am not waiting for you to liaise with the space owner and you must refund me ASAP

[Akriti Nanda @akritinanda]

I have also received the following communication that showed even though it is the fault of just park they are not going to refund me until they contact the space owner, who has not been at fault here

For those worried about patient safety during the strikes, care is being provided by some of the most highly trained and skilled consultant and SAS doctors in the world. The strikes are needed to retain our doctors in training to ensure that can persist in future. #DoctorsStrike

We discuss the need for balance between service provision and training demands in our post COVID state, and how we can achieve it.

High Volume Low Complexity (HVLC) Theatre Lists may be one solution 🤯🔪 @svig2 @akritinanda @croydonhealth @RCSnews

Great conference by @BASO_ACS @SurgOncTA. Amazing talks on all types of surgical oncology. So wonderful to learn from other specialties as well as some outstanding breast talks!

[Massi Mo @massimonks]

This is why.

@drcolinm @NHSE_WTE @gmcuk If they achieve a medical degree will they be able to leave the U.K. with this and will this be internationally recognised? The cynic in me assumes that they will struggle to leave
