@brachyexpert@MVCCbrachy Tbh I am a centralist so found the debate challenging. Tiered is interesting - my main argument was that centralisation will kill referrals because no one will refer for Brachy if they can just offer SBRT or EBRT options... But appreciate this applies more to prostate than others
Time for the debate! The motion is "This House believes that brachytherapy should be centralised' with Prof Ann Henry for the motion and @brachyraqi against the motion!
Looking forward to the start of the UK and Ireland Prostate Brachytherapy Conference 2026 tomorrow hosted by @MVCCbrachy. An excellent programme of which I'm proud to be a part of.

@tayyaaba77 @Statsjamiefact @pa_StephenNash@Adam_Skeen I think we are still trying to figure out what this role is and where it sits in practice. The landscape remains very uncertain. What we do know is they aren't doctors, yet the GMC has taken them in despite a very uncertain future.
@Xeon4f145d96s1 Just putting it out there... Why not just put the pertinent information to that day's consultation into your new note? Everywhere I go now everyone is copy pasting streams of summary every day - you only need a summary copy pasted and updated once a week.
@ClinoncReg@mancunianmedic@iskandarmohamed@timricketts_@UddinAkhlaque It goes both ways too.
Our AIM knowledge won't be as good as the medics (wow shocker) - but I don't expect medics to know oncology as well as me. You don't see me criticising medics for how they manage oncology inpatients...
@bmj_latest@tomroques Problem now is we have a whole generation of doctors who know nothing beyond discussing everyone in MDT... And stepping away from MDT paralysis will require big cultural shifts.
MDTs should only be for controversial cases not catered for by all the algorithms/guidelines we have
@prospectivetACP@D__Melb@cmwilliams99@drvk_voice It's not about needing the medical degree - these exams are designed for those completing a medical education and pathway. They're meaningless without the preceding medical training and quals- if my cat passed the FRCR doesn't make her a consultant oncologist.
@Dr_XYZ@parthaskar So we're allowing casual islamophobia from health professionals on social media these days? Would you like it if I painted your entire country or religious affiliation with the same brush?
I feel sorry for your Muslim patients.
