@PrazNeuro I think SWITCH was stopped a year ago due to poor recruitment

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

@M_El_Sheikh Damn, didn't realise you already FRCS-ed well done 😂

[Dr Done @Dr_Done_]

It’s amazing to see consultant leaders like @deboraheastwood (BOA President) address the biggest threat to our profession and patient safety ✅

It takes a lot to go against the dominant narrative backed by NHSE

👏 👏 👏

Kicking off the new term with regional training day at Birmingham Children's Hospital!
Still smiling after embryology lecture and MCQs!

@ClaaareKirwan Most trusts have a Greatix / excellence reporting system, unfortunately it is often not widely known about and underutilised by medical staff

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into neurosurgery and develop research skills from a fantastic department and great mentors!

[Ahilan Kailaya-Vasan FRCS @AhilanKVasan]

We thought we would try something new for us. @KingsNeuro is offering an @KingsNeuroLab clinical research fellow role. The perfect F3 to get a taste for clinical neurosurgery with a dedicated research block supervised by Professor Ashkan, Jonathan Shapey and @NeuroSxAminul

1/ Short 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics

I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC / Sky today, its not clear whether they dont understand the differences, or they are trying to mislead

Please read all & share / RT

@callum_a2 @Lamboozler @INSNeurosurgery There is ST2 entry, yes fewer numbers so tougher competition. But still doable with the right drive and support mentors

@neurosurgerySpR @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay Even including the OOH I'm not sure where they get the figures from, My specialty has more OOH work than the "mean" and I still don't earn as much as advertised

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

@drtintin99 @NeuroAnatCollab @SMHMajorTrauma @e1v1m1 @neuro_at_ic @realbrainbook Coronal views are quite nice for bilateral cSDH to look at the degree of mass effect, how about for acutes?

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

@Lamboozler @Glasgow_Live @UofGlasgow @AmyCallaghanSNP Absolutely smashing effort from the INS team, clearly going from strength to strength!

[Institute of Neurological Sciences @INSNeurosurgery]

Another successful year at National Selection from @INSNeurosurgery F2s/JCFs.

Topping last year's 4, we have secured an impressive 5 NTNs this year.

Congratulations to Amanda, Omar, Elliot, Emily and Michael!

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

@INSNeurosurgery Congratulations guys! And what a testament to the department

[Marina Pitsika @Marinapitsika]

Big welcome to the BNTA @e1v1m1 and family for the new incoming ST1s who received their offers today. Please get in touch with us so that we can contact you and reach out to you for all training matters.
If you haven’t been lucky don’t give up if neurosurgery is your dream

[Graeme Pang @gpang93]

@ukneurodoc Just trying to imagine a unit where the juniors just stand around as the consultant does every EVD coming through the door
