A pleasure to deliver pilot of our expanding Bootcamp portfolio: SAS Bootcamp. Welcoming SAS surgeons from diverse backgrounds to I’ness. Sessions on Human Factors, Crisis Management, WR skills & peer-peer surgical skills/how to be an effective trainer. @NHS_Education @high_CSC

And a big shout out to the ever brilliant @high_CSC for helping to film some of the course videos used to generate thought-provoking discussion.

Another brilliant article by the most thoughtful and curious orthopaedic surgeon I've met. Not sure he can write a bad one. Some very touching personal narratives from Hiro Tanaka

Looking forward to welcoming the trainees and faculty to Inverness for 4 days of technical and non-technical skills training. Always great fun. See you there!

A busy few weeks, with the 1st #ScottishSurgicalBootcamp of 2023. Updated sessions on Non-technicals skills and phone calls, with the usual mix of wet labs and sim ward rounds. Great bunch of trainees and as always big shout out to the amazing @high_CSC

Enjoyable day teaching on @RCSEd #CoSMoS course - Comm Skills that Matter for Surgeons. Great lessons on Shared Decision Making & the complexities of communicating risk. Proud of my friend & colleague @Rungichungi who developed and implemented. Edinburgh looking 👍 in the Sept 🌞

I first met Peter on a very cold street one evening, as junior doctors rallied before taking strike action (in 2015! Many moons ago!). He’s an absolutely lovely person. If anyone isn’t following him yet, please do 💙🌟

Surgical Needle Basics.

Special thanks to @NOTSS_lab and @spbsurgery for their support and the fabulous @Rungichungi for doing a great job of course directing.

Great to deliver @RCSEd Non-technical skills for surgeons (NOTSS) Masterclass locally for delegates in Inverness with @Rungichungi, Aidah Isa & Malcom Nicol. Engaging discussions on improving SA, DM, CS, TW & Leadership to improve patient safety. Looking forward to the next one!

St Marks retractor great for deep, difficult to see places like the pelvis. Version with a light source even better. 👍👍 My most pressing question is should there be an apostrophe…🧐🧐

Third and final #ScottishSurgicalBootcamp 2022 ✅ A pleasure to work with all of our talented and enthusiastic #coresurgicaltrainees and as always a huge thank you to our outstanding faculty and @high_CSC See you in 2023!

Oh boy. If I operate in the UK 🇬🇧 I need to learn these different names for the same instruments.

Round 2 of Scottish Surgical Bootcamp 2022 delivered ✅ #workhardplayhard with our brilliant trainees braving the shores of Loch Ness post-course in mid-September. #teamsurgery @CS_Saskia @LauraNicolEvan1 @Rungichungi @Watsoninverness @RCSEd @NHSHighland

Not sure if this is going to be more helpful as an Upper GI surgeon or a Parent but really interesting.

@RCSEd #Surgicalbootcamp @rcpsglasgow It’s that time of year….the @TunnockOfficial wafers are out to teach trial design at The Scottish Surgical Boot Camp in Inverness. 11years @Rungichungi and the team (@IMTInverness) have been running & iterating this course. >500 trainees!

And that’s a wrap for our 1st #ScottishSurgicalBootcamp of 2022. From sim ward rounds to M&M’s, Non-technical skills to procedural tasks: a tour de force of essential skills for thriving in surgery. Thanks to our wonderful faculty, @high_CSC & motivated trainees #faithinthefuture
