We've developed a tool, using Artificial Intelligence to automatically interpret hip X-rays in children with Cerebral Palsy - it's as good as experts. 🩻 https://t.co/yJuN0xQ765

So, so important we do this better ... we must work hard to prevent acute pain and MSK difficulties from becoming difficult long term conditions .. @BSCOS_UK
Over 230,000 children in the UK live with long-term MSK conditions. Lack of access to appropriate care often involving long journeys and far from family and friends are just some of the barriers they face. We need better support and access to services for young people. @WeAreARMA

Training logbook numbers by specialty relative to 2019. Millions fewer procedures performed with/by a trainee. Consultants - remember that you were all trainees once. Time to train the next generation! Every case is a training case. #NoTrainingTodayNoSurgeonsTomorrow
