Does your choice of radiation protection you wear affect your surgical performance??
@EBarlow92 and I have been looking at how RPPE could affect performance in a simulated DHS. Results may or may not surprise you ๐

Really proud of what we have achieved with @Wales_Ortho in the last 12 months- the second award of funding this week for WORTH projects and multiple presentations this week at @bota_uk Congress! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟexciting times for Welsh orthopaedic research projects ๐คฉwell done Olly !
SUPER PROUD of our CT2 Olly Lane at the @bota_uk Dragons Den. Securing funding for his work on Improving Parental Understanding of DDH ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐๐พ๐๐๐ฅณ
We've had our first WORTH catch- up meeting tonight!
HUGE attendance from medical students up to registrars talking about collaborative research happening in Wales :D
Posters and podiums at upcoming conferences too, the future is bright for WORTH

Our trainees don't just do research, they also organise amazing courses!
Come to Cardiff for the Crash Course for Orthopaedic Oncalls on the 13th of October!
Promises to be an amazing day!

Congratulations to @KanwalOfficial who continues the matriarchy of Welsh Women in BOTA!
And two of two. Looking at RPPE provision across the Wales Deanery. Only through understanding what the provision is across the deanery can we start to promote change :)

King Charles & Prince Williamโs estates avoid tax, charge the NHS ยฃ11.4M for ambulance storage & force tenants to live with damp, mould & fuel poverty.
The monarchy clearly lives in another world.
How much longer will we allow such privileges?
Itโs time to rethink the system.
Wales is STILL missing out on ยฃ4bn from HS2. ๐ก
While Scotland and Northern Ireland have received billions in consequentials from England's HS2 project, Wales hasn't received a penny.
Labour used to agree with us. Now they're in government, it's time they cough up the money.
And then Hannah Sevenoaks' brilliant collaborative work on RPPE provision across English T&O deaneries. Really stark numbers on what RPPE is available for staff.
Lots to unpack, to improve upon, radiation PPE getting more attention can only be a good thing to protect staff!
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ being brilliant once again!
@Clarararahh and the EXPOSEd study with @bota_uk and @BritOrthopaedic in the Radiation PPE session at #BOAAC24
Eye-opening survey study. Brilliant work!
What have we learned from this project?
Significant differences in performance related metrics in a simulated DHS favouring two- piece gowns over one piece
Ie. Two- piece isn't just safer for the surgeon it could mean they perform better in it
What does a chicken thigh fillet have to do with radiation PPE and surgical performance?! Find out this afternoon, in hall 5, and see what we've been working on the last few months... #BOAAC24
