🥲 THE DREAM COMES TRUE

#TDF2024

[ASiT @ASiTofficial]

We thank @RCSnews for this clear statement, with safe surgical practice and trainees at its core

SCPs have a well defined scope of practice: performing parts of a lap cholecystectomy with or without supervision has never been acceptable

We are thankful for the reminder to consultant colleagues to use every theatre opportunity to prioritise training the surgeons of tomorrow

No training today, no surgeons tomorrow.

U.K. medical practice has gone mad. We are the laughing stock to the rest of the world. There are SCPs doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy’s despite trainees struggling for numbers and AUGIS initiatives on safe cholecystectomy due to a climbing BDI rate. 1/2
