So that’s it. As of this week I’m no longer a neurosurgery trainee. I’ve given up my NTN after 6 years in neurosurgery. My stomach still flips when I think about what I’ve done. I still can’t quite believe I’ve done it. I’m not sure if it’s brave or stupid? 1/n

I’m also not sure why I’ve wrote this. I’m guessing I can’t be the only one who may be having a crisis of career/training... I don’t know because we don’t talk about it. But I DO know that it’s terrifying, and if it’s the right thing for you, then you may owe it to yourself 10/10

We're looking for surgical trainees, trainers, junior & senior representatives from @NHS_HealthEdEng/ASGBI/JCST/Faculty of Surgical Trainers/The Royal College of Surgeons of England /The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh/Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow & any stakeholder in trainee well-being to join us in this Delphi study.

A collaboration of KSS Surgeons Research Collaborative x ASiT. Just 2 x 10 minute online questionnaires & all contributions acknowledged with final authorship. Sign up here: forms.gle/bwtgA9gAadg5RZ…

Found out a male surgeon was negotiating for himself at a surgery center we work at & asked them to give me the same opportunity because he knew how much revenue I’d been bringing in. These are the amazing kind of #HeForShe moments that help keep women in medicine

Every trial on anastomotic leak ever. #colorectalsurgery
