We have a study logo!
The ASSIST study will be launching in the new year looking at how we can prepare Surgical Trainees for when things don’t go as planned to help them avoid or minimise the Second Victim Syndrome. Stay tuned for more details and DM for updates…! #SurgSky #surgery #medsky

So proud of our team presenting their research at the regional Yorkshire Oncoplastic Breast Surgery meeting yesterday - from medical students to TIG fellows and consultant colleagues. Great to see what is happening and network with some of my wonderful past trainers and friends #SurgSky

For next time a patient with new cancer diagnosis asks "what can I do?"

Finally some evidence to answer:

A centrally coordinated, low-cost mentorship program is feasible and of high value. Fab research from @jiajennyliu.bsky.social and team- a 25% reduction in burnout! Although, I wish the baseline weren't so high 💔.

And me please 🙏🏻

I was told this all through my surgical training and now I have an extremely rewarding surgical career and all the “proper” surgeons regret their life choices when they’re doing laparotomies in the middle of the night at the age of 60 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

Hi! UK breast surgeon 👋🏻

If you DM me your email address I’ll send you over a recording of the presentation and if you’re still interested in hearing more we will be recruiting to our study ASSIST in the new year ☺️

Presenting on the Second Victim Syndrome at the ASGBI EGS symposium this morning in Manchester - important topic that requires more research in how to prepare surgical trainees to face complications. Lookout for the ASSIST study coming soon….
