Concern that governments are slow to respond to concerns about non- surgical cosmetic complications. This is not about looking after the practitioners it is about looking after patients! @SaveFaceUK Care givers are here for patients. Nothing else matters

@RoshanaMN @DeakinSue1 @OrthopodReg @RCSnews @LiangRhea I’d be wary of commissioning more work, there is plenty of data either out there (@OrthopodReg & @beckybeckyfish article, the Times article, LOST study, STEP & many others). What should come next is work to re-design/implement change which is the harder bit.

🇬🇧 We are to become the first UK hospital to use the @CMRSurgical Versius robot for thoracic surgery.  This cutting-edge technology will allow our surgical teams to perform more even minimally invasive surgery, improving patient outcomes. 💙 👉 https://t.co/3ypOJuSJuF

I tried the CMR Versius robot in the dry lab today. The open console and the ability to work standing is definitely a plus. #versius @CMRSurgical #Robotics #urology #UroSoMe #MedTwitter #Medical

We are disappointed in the decision taken by the government today. At CMR, we believe that women deserve time off when going through the menopause and we will continue to support all our staff going through the menopause.
