Standing for re- election to RCS Council. If, like me, you are concerned about long waiting lists and lack of training opportunities then I would welcome your vote

Another outstanding Leicester graduate

TY!! So many services to showcase - have a look @gerisoc website! Including ours @GSTTnhs which like @geriatricsdoc sees around 170 older people a month in ED & supports 70% to get home without needing admission. System level change is possible!! @GSTTGeriatrics @icabbs @NHSGIRFT

@AorticDissectUK @Jonnyboyle1 @VSGBI The annual data for the last 5 years from all the centres doing TEVAR for type B dissects on page 89 of the NVR report 2022

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

The aim was to raise awareness and stimulate a discussion. Good to see everyone talking. Beware of anecdotes and n=1. Read POISE3 and the other papers

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

Happy to have been re-elected as Chair of NHSEI Clinical Reference Group (CRG) for Vascular Services (after a competitive interview). Also promoted to National Specialty Advisor for Vascular. Lots to do

[Michael Makris @ProfMakris]

RCT of Tranexamic acid (TXA) vs placebo in non cardiac surgery published by @NEJM this week. TXA reduces bleeding and does not really increase cardiovascular events (although the paper suggests this is not definite, it is good enough for me). https://t.co/gBULS0bPHd

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

Good to see the value of limb salvage clinics being highlighted

[Marcus Brooks @BrooksMedBris]

@nas_vascular @MFTnhs @drsohailmunshi @Mancvascular @doctormkumar Delighted to present on behalf of @vsgbi at @CXSymposium. We too often fail to recognise success. Important to share the achievements of Manchester’s MARS and Leicester’s VaLS.

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

Just read the elective recovery plan for surgical backlog. No real mention of training of trainees. No training today no consultants tomorrow @VSGBI @RouleauxClub @ASiTofficial @RCSnews

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

Honoured to be elected by VS members as new RCS Eng Council rep. 1st meeting last week and loss of training major issue. Plan to discuss further with Rouleaux #RCS #Rouleaux #VS

[rob sayers @robsayers17]

@valahealth @AorticDissectCT Isn’t it a cardiac and a vascular condition? Better awareness of both components will save more lives
