Fantastic turn out for the #BSoTFunRunforTUF24; great weather, no one got lost, great support from @TUF_tweets en route, great to meet new people (including medical students) and looking forward for next year already! @BSoT_UK #BAUS24

Pleasure to act as faculty at the @KARLSTORZUK @BAUSurology @BAUSendourology Course. Excellent venue next to where Homer Simpson worked! Honoured to play a role in training these ureteric buds with @kasraparsy @soph_cash @jcburol @saiful_miah @SusieBiers @nickfaurewalker

Thank you for this recognition of the impact of our work @BJSurgery. Hoping this can translate to change in working practices. @JessWhitburn @surgery_parents @saiful_miah

Great jog around a quiet Cambridge with @saiful_miah today. About four years ago we said that we’d aim for the @ComradesRace in 2024. This definitely isn’t happening… (maybe 2025?!)

Hi @dunsterhouseltd patiently waiting for urgent response from customer services please. Missing parts (metal brackets) and wrong colour/damaged panel. CS ticket no = 33666 generated 2 days ago.

I wish I could say I was surprised, honestly As we know from the US study, this study confirms those findings. Higher pregnancy loss rates in surgical trainees

Our study of the experiences of pregnancy and parenthood of surgical trainees in the UK is out, please take a look at what we found: We surveyed 416 trainees, male and female Over half of all trainees delay childbearing and 80% regret this decision. https://t.co/1VdV6v7tqa

Thank you to everyone who answered our survey, it is much appreciated @JessWhitburn @saiful_miah @drsarahhowles @NDSurgicalSci @UniofOxford @BAUSurology @ASiTofficial @BJSurgery

It's clear something needs to change and as a community we need to start talking about these problems. Raising awareness will be the first steps of a process to put in place processes to mitigate risks and bring about cultural change so we better support parenthood journeys

1/2 A fantastic #BSoTFunRunforTUF! Great to have so many runners including @Uroweb Secretary General @AStenzl from Germany and @BAUSurology President @JoCresswell4 #BAUS23

Now that your curiosity has led to you scrolling past the pinned tweet, here are a just a few examples of how the urology community are affected by, and contributing to unsustainable and carbon-intense practice:

Data from our survey of UK surgical trainees. Change is needed to protect the obstetric health of surgeons and facilitate family life.

1/5 Responses from 416 surgical trainees, sad reading: - Pregnancy loss rate of 31%, in those aged 30-34 at survey completion pregnancy loss rate was 35%, this is 3x that expected in this age gp (11%) https://t.co/tlcDIO2mE0

We’re opening again for one last push before write up. Currently lacking general surgery, t&o, and vascular trainees. Please answer regardless of gender. Please help if you are a UK surgical trainee @RoshanaMN @beckybeckyfish @OrthopodReg @ASiTofficial

Great work and well done @david_thurtle

@JessWhitburn presenting our findings at #EAU23 Miscarriage rate of 28% Nearly 30% trainees had no time off after pregnancy loss 22% had a complication requiring bed rest Time for change in patterns of work for pregnant surgical trainees @NDSurgicalSci

@saiful_miah Time flies!

Really sad data, we need to do more to protect the obstetric health of our trainees. If eligible please complete the survey below.
