[World Kidney Day @worldkidneyday]

A #KidneyTransplant offers the ultimate gift: a chance at a renewed and healthier life. Many individuals await this life-saving procedure, yet finding a suitable donor remains a challenge.

Consider becoming a donor to transform lives and provide hope to those in need.

Think you know everything you need to know about living kidney donation?

❌ Think again!

These transplants don’t happen by magic, they depend on following important processes, medical science and, of course, the generosity of a donor.

[SITU Oxford @SITU_Oxford]

Calling all foundation, core & specialist surgical trainees BOASTiC is back! @CSR_Bris, Oxford & @hsru_aberdeen Surgical Trials Units are holding a 3 day #research training event on #surgical #trials. Wed 13th – Fri 15th Sept at Engineers' House, Bristol. https://t.co/TdZqsz0RMe

[Jozel Ramirez @jozelramirez20]

@GPjournalclub @drpoco @CizCG I also recall recommending this as an F2 but was never aware of how long the waiting list was! What other resources are there and how can we make GPs/trainees aware of this? #gpjc

[Marion Campbell @MarionKCampbell]

When we talk about #randomisation we often assume this implies a single common method of allocating participants to treatments, yet there are a variety of alternative approaches used in practice. A recent paper reminds us of this. 1/6

@ASiTofficial and the Surgical Specialty Associations have expressed serious concerns to changes and timelines of communication ahead of 2022-23 recruitment to surgical training. We will continue working with stakeholders to ensure the trainee voice is heard.

[NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Bristol @BristolBRC]

Could digital methods be used to improve shared learning in #Surgicalinnovation? @CS_Hoffmann, @drshelleypotter and the team hope that findings from their ongoing study will inform future strategies.
