Had a lovely weekend in Bournemouth for the @ASiTofficial conference.
Lovely time discussing my poster with colleagues, and listen to many insightful talks about the future of surgery.

Incredibly grateful to have sat on @InciSioNGlobal International Committee this year. Have had an amazing time supporting NWGs across the world as well as promoting InciSioNs message and goals at @InciSioNUK conference this year presenting to over 400 delegates

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.

It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.

If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.

Did you know about it? No?

Thank you to everyone who attended the FST Annual Conference last week! A brilliant day seeing everyone in person and networking and learning with their colleagues. #FSTConf23

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties

WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries.

The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced.

WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.

[Kirsty Mozolowski @kmozolowski]

Yes it is stressful and, at times brutal. Yes, you have to be resilient.

But bullying, sexual harassment/assault/rape are NEVER acceptable.

This is true in surgery and in life.

You, sir, are not welcome here

[oliviapestrin @oliviapestrin]

Happy to have my first, first authorship paper! Thank you to all the support from everyone involved!

[Chloe EH Scott @EdinburghKnee]

Great work from @oliviapestrin & Bethany Hull: women in surgery events alone don’t change med student perceptions of gender discrimination in #orthopaedics.

BUT exposure to T&O affects desire to do it

Med schools must retain MSK attachments in courses
