In Leeds examining for the FRCS Plas. I had a gap and so watched it live with another examiner whose brother was a pilot for an airline in the US and suddenly became uncontactable as US closed down. The horror etched in my memory for ever.

Terrible. Graeme is one of the really good guys, and has done so much for his patients, and for the specialty locally, nationally and internationally. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery, and my thoughts for his family.

You also learn it as a junior hospital doctor - grab it whenever and wherever you can. A flat casualty trolley works well.

My boss in the 1980s allowed me a Wednesday off to get married providing I was at his list the next day! I did both, and no regrets - what he taught me surgically made all the strictures of that time worthwhile.

An amazing occasion and a wonderful opportunity to showcase the amazing #WomenInSurgery we have at RCS England. Thank you to Dame Clare Marx for continuing to advocate for our profession and for the College.

It’s important that our Court of Examiners is diverse and representative. Please consider applying and spread the word! #womeninsurgery #ILookLikeASurgeon

Many examiners step down this year and next, so please consider applying. Your contribution to training our future surgeons will be invaluable, and being part of the Court is very enjoyable as well.

And a letter from the CMOs and other national leaders has gone to Trusts asking them to give leave for national training work, specifically mentioning exams. So hopefully professional leave will be easier to get.

Almost 300 years after his birth, how appropriate to have the man himself John Hunter keeping a careful eye as we celebrate the reopening of the jewel in the The Royal College of Surgeons of England crown, the Hunterian Museum London. Open to the public on 16 May…and it’s an absolute gem!

Very sad news. Ian did sterling work to ease difficulties between the specialties of plastics and OMFS, and gave very sensible and pragmatic opinions on RCSEng council. A great loss to surgery-in-general. RIP Ian.
