@OrthopodReg Could you do a post to help post surgical trainees about SIMG pathway? Do you think its identical for surgical subspecialties or varies aka general vs ortho vs ent? And the costs. Thanks.
@farkomd Axillary cut down for access; Sma covered stent after POBA&IVL prep; would also then try non covered celiac trunk stent since we are already there. if surgical candidate, for bypass. If endo, for experienced visceral artery specialists only
@MStott88 ED do use CT to triage. I dont blame them…either its a normal 5mins CT to report or a 5mins abnormal one. If patient’s lucky a T1 tumour is incidenly found and investigated - this may lead to “over diagnosis/treatment” or genuine increase in “life expectancy/QoL”
@DrRajeshG1@mmamas1973 Because the Govt wants to cut costs. It is government policy. The royal colleges adhere to government policy. So ultimately patient care is not priority. Bringing costs down is. And also controlling& managing PAs is easier than controlling doctors.
Best bit of induction?

@theveindoc Hopefully groups of specialty consultants can get together, form a group and provide their services as a private entity to local GP, NHS&PP hospital groups. I hope the UK goes to that model. Soon. Very soon.
@theveindoc Because dentists have freedom of choice. UK is a monopoly employer. There is no competitive private sector. You have to risk it all and create your own. Until then at the mercy of trainjng program for ARCP&CCT. A lot of GPs and “aesthetic” Drs do full private.
@clifford0584 Family, friends and support network.
In any other country, you are just an IMG; Aus protects its own trainees and specialists (unlike UK) very well (aka getting into training; 10yr memorandum, needing residency etc). IMGs get the non training jobs local trainees dont want.
