It was lovely to have a great group of our endoscopy nurses at the #BSGLIVE23 Lots of networking and new ideas to bring back to Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. Thank you to the SW endoscopy training academy for the sponsorship which made it possible. Jessin John waqas khan

Final poster from our team for #BSGLIVE23 This one looks at whether the treatment plans we send to GPs at the time of initial referral avoid the need for review in secondary care. It’s definitely an effective use of time Somerset NHS Foundation Trust

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to Steve Barclay They strike tomorrow This letter is incredible I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it Worth a read for you too Wes Streeting

This sums up my view perfectly

One of the things I’m most proud of at work is our brilliant clinical fellow programs. waqas khan and AlMuthana Mohamed |المُثَنَّى have been an absolute pleasure to work with this year, and have both done well to be signed off for OGDs in just over 6 months. We will miss you Waqas!

Today I had F2 teaching on career planning. It started with us being asked what we planned to do after F2. Of my entire cohort (~40 doctors), less than 5 people plan to apply for further training starting in August 2024.

Some shocking numbers from the BSG trainee survey: -36% ST7s had provisional colonoscopy sign off -69% interested in hepatology still wanted colonoscopy sign off -10% felt they could achieve CCT sign off in 4 yrs But what are we going to do about it? fg.bmj.com/content/early/…
