@DrEilidhMaria@richiejsmith83 Trainee pod surgeon here - at initial consultation we give out a leaflet that explains exactly what pod surgeons are and their training and there is a consent form to state they know this at pre assessment.
@MedRegoncall1 The training to be a consultant is at a minimum 11 years with 2 masters, a BSc hons, research paper authorship and a fellowship exam, it very rigorous with only a few starting their surgical trainee role each year. There is a set scope of practice and this is heavily regulated.
@MedRegoncall1 I’m a current pod surgeon trainee. There are about 120 in the UK most of which do elective forefoot procedures and then there are some consultants working within limb salvage alongside orthopaedics, plastics and vascular teams.
@helen_barnowl@iDrSunny@BMA_James_Steen A combination of there are no jobs for them to progress to and that their line managers are happy with the positions that they are in.
@DrJN_SportsMed As a sports podiatrist I get £25 for a follow up or review appointment from Bupa. They also won’t cover steroid injections, orthotics or ultrasound scans by me.
@SaraTon08500527 @Xeon4f145d96s1@janh5000 I’m a podiatrist and there are some pods that work as ACPs who are fabulous but they stick to MSK, wound care and general podiatry issues.
No wonder people drive. 3 trains cancelled and 1 delayed. I was only trying to travel from Glasgow to Huddersfield and back. Then getting turned away from another train because my ticket is for a different provider. #trainrage
I hate voice notes. I refuse to listen because someone can’t be bothered to type and rambles on. Call me if you want to chat - I’d love it! #voicenotehater
Can someone tell me the psychology behind why voicenotes are so enjoyable to record and listen back to. Also to receive loool. I don’t even mind if it’s long. The longer the better.
