@altregoncall @goldstone_tony @medicaccountant @MedicsMoney Yes - the salary is sacrificed from your standard pensionable pay rather than any additional PAs (or WLI/locum pay) - or at least that is the case for me

[Dafydd Loughran @dafyddloughran]

Congratulations @apboddy on this week's publication of ‘Enhancing informed consent in oncological surgery through digital platforms and artificial intelligence’.

The review oozes Alex’s wisdom; a review of present + balanced future-gaze re AI-driven opportunities in the area 👏

Laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery with thoracotomy for patients with #esophagealcancer: ROMIO #RCT
➡️ https://t.co/kFKtwJsJM6

This pragmatic RCT conducted in 8 UK 🇬🇧 centres allocated patients with localized oesophageal cancer to
1⃣hybrid oesophagectomy with minimally invasive gastric mobilization and thoracotomy, or
2⃣open surgery
The primary outcome was patient-reported recovery in the 3 months following allocation, measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 physical function subscale.
We found no evidence of a difference in recovery time between hybrid and open surgery, and a similar risk of key complications.

Great work by The ROMIO Study Group
