We were talking about exactly this at the return to training workshop today. Adam Pilarski was there representing BOTA!
Great article in March issue of #JTO (journal of the BOA) - we have different figures though
20% of #KSS trainees are LTFT and we’re not hearing that they’re disadvantaged.
Just ask. If it’s what you need, please just ask

Surgeons showed significantly greater manual dexterity compared with physicians, nurses, and non-clinical staff when assessed using a buzz wire game.
But had the highest rates of swearing

Our latest paper looks at why people leave #NHS roles
People give multiple reasons for leaving (not just one)
We have started to see supervisory burden and taskification emerge as contributory factors. Distress, overwork & understaffing were common
