109 mentions of “genomics” in the 10 Year plan…. Sounds like I picked the right research area Like the sound of these @DHSCgovuk Global Institutes as well… meant to bring together innovation in areas that need employment rather than just investing in the golden triangle…
Hopeful that because the front cover has a DNA strand we’ll see more on genomic medicine As someone who is involved in sorting this out in our region, I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to deliver tangible benefits for patients (with the right funding!! 😂)

Interesting article from @iancowie about @IntuitiveSurg I know that they and others are collecting loads of surgical videos. My prediction with the rise of AI, we’ll be seeing autonomous surgical robots within the next decade https://t.co/hGWtGOf3kj

Science fiction is morphing into surgical fact as technology overtakes traditional approaches — and it’s a field well worth investing in

Doctors who age gracefully do so by embracing lifelong learning, emotional growth, and reflection, while those who resist change often grow bitter and disconnected from meaning.
