A great day of learning with @ChrisGeeOrtho and to be present for their all time best in a month… that’s over 100 MAKO robotic knee replacements! @JubileeHospital

One of the most underrated professions: sports massage therapists. Always working wonders. 😮‍💨 Next up a short one : tweed valley ultra

A move of CST to recruit to interview based purely on MSRA and T&O St1 getting the applicants to sit it on an analysis only basis is such a shame: hard work of people dedicated to surgical specialities overridden by exams not fit for surgical specialties for interview slots😕

Things I would like to know - have race directors ever actually tried voom and nak nutrition because loads are converting to it but holy hell it’s horrendous 🤣

Shockwave therapy and sport massage ✔️ optimal race week prep complete. #13valleys #183km between me and that slate coaster

Packing the important things in the race kit - soy sauce fishes are a secret weapon 🐟 #183km #13valleys

A true difference in tech available between my PhD and MD is massive. Even just the ability to have a journal/paper through headphones is saving so so much time and so much less eye strain to get through at a faster pace. Also meaning I can make notes without a laptop 👊🏽 #dreamy

And the reign of great ortho ANPs continues to @JubileeHospital - what a lovely bunch, a great first day and couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome ☺️. First days don’t have to be all doom and gloom 🫡 #oneteam #orthopaedics #researchfellow

Salomon making a 20L vest that isn’t the length of a giraffes neck and inbuilt storage for poles FINALLY. - take my money 🤩

Many years in the making! Started my post at @JubileeHospital for an ortho research fellow and MD under @PhilWalmsley4 @ChrisGeeOrtho @jonclarkeortho and @andrewhallortho : looking at ACL pathways in NHS Scotland. We all know how personal that is to me 🙏🏽 🤩 #aclinjury #aclrehab

FY2 finished ✔️. Thankful to get my 2h dead time in the car driving back, thankful to be mentally stimulated in my next job, thankful for no more 7 day stretches, thankful to finally be working towards becoming an ortho surgeon 🔨

Why do many athletes stop playing after ACL reconstruction? ▪️ Only 60% returned to pivoting sports ▪️ Women returned less often than men ▪️ Meniscal repair: no difference ▪️ Reasons for not returning: lack of time, loss of interest, fear of reinjury https://t.co/8dv0uv3W7m

Another piece of the puzzle collected FY2 ARCP Outcome 6 ✅… 6 weeks to go until the big move to @JubileeHospital 🤩

2/2. Luckily I have formed a fantastic relationship with the @JubileeHospital ortho squad who have supported my career development for which I can further work towards over the next 2 years as a research fellow. No thanks to the FY jobs.

Still holds true, no local teaching in 4 of 6 rotations. No opportunities to go to theatre or clinic in 5 of 6. No practical clinical skills teaching in 6 of 6. Service provision in horrific rotas present throughout. 2 t&o jobs and not once was I supported to career develop.1/2

With sign ups next week it’s time for a disclosure 👀: Cocodona 250miler 2026 🫡. Will be making the most of my next training cycle for 13 valleys 180km to carry it through 🤌🏽

Things that have flourished since moving out of a toxic tenement building where I was being harassed and stalked by a neighbour: my peace lily 🌷. I’m taking that fully as a sign 🙏🏽

@BritishHip formal letter to Editor of the @thetimes in response to opinion piece on female orthopaedic surgeons - please feel free to comment and retweet…

Also not a guy and managed to get myself a prestigious clinical fellow job in trauma and orthopaedics at @JubileeHospital 🫡 #doilookorthoenoughforyou - pretty sure I beat some boys to it #mybad
