So guys, I had an idea for an educational network, I would love for you to take a look!

[The YES Collaborative @YES_collab]

What's the YES Collaborative? Isn't that
@rwc90? Why have I been followed? A short 🧵

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

Was great to present my work at #ICOSET . The feedback from trainees and trainers was telling - we need to be talking about this more!

[Emily Baird @emilyjanebaird]

Another great #ICOSET @RCSEd talk

Trainers value enthusiasm, professional behaviour & taking responsibility

But need time, resource & support

Survivor bias amongst trainers & they train as they were trained

No incentive to be a good trainer nor change training

[James Tomlinson @jamestoml1]

Rory Clarke flying the flag for @NHSWTE_NEY Future Leaders Programme talking about the importance of giving trainees autonomy and resource to drive training improvements.

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

@jamestoml1 Don't get excited and join all the start packs straight away. Still trying to currate my timeline

@OrthopodReg My first thought was, I'd be gutted to miss the fun of the rodeo too. Then I realised #thereisafracture

If you're a gen surg Trainee in the UK please fill in this survey! Evri is doing great work teaching those of us less research inclined, and what more is trying to integrate it into training!

@LiamWillgress @EAPSCongress @drpaulclarke Great work. Is that a rosette I see?

[Rhiannon Richards @Rhianno42224910]

@rwc90 Oh and we've done a webinar through the Moynihan academy last year

https://t.co/rcCAA5rofy

This needs all of us to act as allies, advocate for our colleagues and spread the word so that people know this before getting pregnant or supervising a pregnant trainee

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

@Rhianno42224910 What this actually is a leadership issue, or a lack there of.

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

If you know this information, and you still make pregnant trainees in your programme do nights/on calls/unadjusted hours the SECOND you find out they are pregnant, your're not just part of the problem for these complications, you are directly responsible

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Up to 82% of pregnant surgeons experience miscarriage, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. Occupational hazards, including prolonged standing, physical exertion, overnight shifts, and teratogenic exposure, contribute to these risks.

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

I genuinely want to know what surgical reg is going to agree to a locum at this rate? Surely the only outcome from this is the shifts don't get filled- so is this the intention? @wannabehawkeye

[Dr Shivam Sharma @DocShivSharma]

These new extra-contractual rates in @uhbtrust are abysmal.

The average hourly rate for a plumber is £50 per hour.

For an emergency plumber it is £112.50 with a £110 call out fee.

Massive withdrawal of locums is the only answer to this.

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

@RobLaurensonD4P I don't know the ins and outs enough, but I would say I have seen many surgical trainees who are pregnant working nights and on calls. Maybe that is their choice- but if the evidence suggests it could cause harm you have to wonder what is considered "reasonable"

[Rory Clarke @rwc90]

@laurevans311 Rocco, by a country mile

@jamestoml1 3 minutes of teaching.....

[Lesley Barron MD, MPhil, FRACS @drlesleybarron]

Another comment that 5 yrs of 80 hr work weeks isn’t enough to train competent general surgeons. Listen ppl, if you can’t take a person & do this in 5 yrs, the problem isn’t limiting the work week, it’s why you are allowing so much of this persons time to be wasted.
