Very happy to see our work on the evaluation of splenic artery aneurysms published 🖊️

This study establishes the limitations of CT evaluation and builds the foundations for our ongoing splenic artery aneurysm research at St George's Vascular Institute

Anna Pouncey (@pounce321) highlights the importance of recruiting to trials such as WARRIORS—which aims to assess whether women with small #AAA currently are treated too late in their clinical course—to address a “stark and horrific health inequity”

[Nina Al-Saadi @ninsalsaadi]

Thank you to prof @maynard_nick for taking the time to speak to us at #VSASM2024 about G•za & the systematic targeting of the healthcare system this last year.

And a shoutout to @VSGBI for offering a platform for this to be discussed & for raising awareness.

[Rob Leatherby @Rob_Leatherby]

It was a huge privilege to present our work on both splenic artery aneurysms and amputation mortality on the main stage at #VSASM2024 and to take home the Sol Cohen prize for #SGVI. Already looking forward to next year in Hull!

@jesss_shea at @VSGBI #VSASM2024 presenting meta-analysis data on tourniquet usage in amputations surgery.

Tourniquet usage associated with

✅ reduced blood loss
✅ shorter operation time
↔️ equivalent SSI, amp revision rates & mortality

Thanks for organising @vascularsurgeon and @FrimleyHealth. Showcasing some excellent research and clinical cases from KSS, Wessex and Thames Valley. Looking forward to next year in @UHSFT @UnitVascular

@Matt_L_Nash @DrHuw @Matt_ParaACP @Dr_Done_ @VirtueOfNothing @FICMNews Such an insane take...

We should get rid of vascular surgeons and let everyone have a go, as @Matt_L_Nash says

I wasn't taught how to do a fem pop bypass at medical school.

EVARs are just putting a tube in a tube.

Who needs a medical degree/post grad training? It's easy...

New #EJVESOA on "Long-term outcomes and durability of FEVAR: a meta-analysis of time-to-event data", reporting reasonable outcome estimates up to five years, but with a paucity of data beyond that @IanLoftus2 #aortaed

I also don't have time to argue with trolls who don't evidence their arguments.

In the meantime here is the national pay scale which dictates basic pay. Looks like 63k not 80 to me...

[VERN @VascResearchNet]

Great to see the results of the @2022Vista study being presented by @KHurndall93 at the #VSASM23 in Dublin this morning 😊

[VORTEX @VascularWebinar]

ASPIRE 4 done. Great faculty. Great trainees really keen to learn.

[Rob Leatherby @Rob_Leatherby]

@clarissascortex As to whether there is a better system I'm unsure. You either buy into "better" students get better choices (which will be the case after foundation for higher training places anyway) or you chose a less disruptive system e.g. where students get FY training in their uni hospitals

[Rob Leatherby @Rob_Leatherby]

@clarissascortex As bad as the SJT was as an assessment, there was at least an element of control (I do believe you could work to improve your score). I therefore feel we may have moved onto an even more unfair system. 1/2

[Rob Leatherby @Rob_Leatherby]

@Tanno_Lulu @UHSFT @SotonHPB Congrats Lulu!

[Rob Leatherby @Rob_Leatherby]

A great opportunity to work in a vascular unit with excellent trainers
