Attention knee surgery trainees!
A last minute change has meant we have a knee fellowship post available starting August 2024. One year post (or 2 x six months)
Come join the team of 8 specialist knee consultants to improve your knowledge of sports knee and arthroplasty
It’s hard to imagine orthopaedics in the NorthWest without him. He has done so much for our speciality regionally, nationally and much further afield. Thank you for all of your support and wishing you all the best on your retirement @MartynPorter1 See you soon
Excited to join the faculty again on our first cadaveric course post Covid. I often get asked how to get involved in humanitarian work. I have no doubt that the training provided on this course is best in class. See below for details👇🏼 @NottFoundation @RCSEd @RCSEdFRRHH
It’s difficult to celebrate the magnitude of this achievement for the foundation on the same day that medical colleagues, aid workers and healthcare facilities are targeted, killed and destroyed. Aid workers are not a target, and never should be #NotATarget
In February, we trained the largest number of medical professionals we have ever trained in one week.
With support from the Libyan Board for Medical Specialties, we upskilled over 100 doctors in #Libya.

🇱🇾 We just hit a historic milestone.
In just one week, we upskilled 103 doctors in Libya and heard the stories of those we've trained.
"I was able to send her (my patient) home. She is alive, she is a grandmother, she is everything.

Proud to have had the opportunity to lead the single most ambitious series of courses for @NottFoundation to date. Huge effort from all of the DNF team and superb faculty to get this over the line. A great start to 2024 with plenty more to come
💪 A first in our history!
🌍 We're back from delivering 4 surgical courses in just 1 week, empowering over 100 Libyan doctors.
With a new #obstetrics course and brand new teaching tools, this mission marks a huge leap forward.
📽️ Keep an eye out for stories from Libya.
I can’t even begin to describe how short sighted this is
A great effort by all involved. The state of the world makes this work so much more important. Honoured to join the faculty board this year with esteemed colleagues and excited for plans in 2024. Impact report 👉🏼 lght.ly/l8j43b0
Hurricane season = cancelled flight and unexpected road trip through Connecticut before joining @DrAntoniaChen for a week @BrighamWomens
Great opportunity to immerse myself with excellent group of attendings/fellows/residents/PAs and experience the best of Boston in summer
3/7 – at Boston, MA
Final stop back in NYC for @ISTA_meeting to listen to world leaders on latest innovations in arthroplasty technology
A fantastic month of exchange, friendships and experiences that wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Charnley Trust @wrightingtonLLU @MartynPorter1
6/7 – at New York, USA
Too many people to include in a thread without sounding like an Oscars speech but look out for full report soon on the new Charnley Trust website johncharnleytrust.org/awards…
DMs are open if anyone would like info/advice. Also must mention @KneeUnit for supporting this 🙏
7/7 – at Exeter, England
A short 🧵 to share September's travelling fellowship experience to 🇺🇸
Hope it encourages others to seek similar opportunities for professional/academic/cultural exchange. Has helped my own development with experiences/relationships that will help me to improve patient care
1/7
1st stop @HSpecialSurgery to join the arthroplasty team: a masterclass in efficiency ~8 cases/surgeon/day. Great discussions on robotics, alignment philosophies, cemented vs press-fit knees. Got to meet orthopaedic royalty and good timing coinciding with @usopen QFs
2/7 – at New York, USA

🚨 More doctors trained 🚨
🌍 We've upskilled 42 surgeons and anaesthetists from the UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway and beyond who are headed for the Middle East.
🏥 Their training will prepare them for addressing urgent medical needs in Gaza.

Evacuation orders by Israel to hospitals in northern Gaza are a death sentence for the sick and injured
As the @UN's agency responsible for public health, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly condemns Israel's repeated orders for the evacuation of 22 hospitals treating more than 2000 inpatients in northern Gaza. The forced evacuation of patients and health workers will further worsen the current humanitarian and public health catastrophe.
The lives of many critically ill and fragile patients hang in the balance: those in intensive care or who rely on life support; patients undergoing hemodialysis; newborns in incubators; women with complications of pregnancy, and others all face imminent deterioration of their condition or death if they are forced to move and are cut off from life-saving medical attention while being evacuated.
Health facilities in northern Gaza continue to receive an influx of injured patients and are struggling to operate beyond maximum capacity. Some patients are being treated in corridors and outdoors in surrounding streets due to a lack of hospital beds.
Forcing more than 2000 patients to relocate to southern Gaza, where health facilities are already running at maximum capacity and unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number patients, could be tantamount to a death sentence.
Hospital directors and health workers are now facing an agonizing choice: abandon critically ill patients amid a bombing campaign, put their own lives at risk while remaining on site to treat patients, or endanger their patients’ lives while attempting to transport them to facilities that have no capacity to receive them.
Overwhelmingly, caregivers have chosen to stay behind and honor their oaths as health professionals to “do no harm,” rather than risk moving their critically ill patients during evacuations. Health workers should never have to make such impossible choices.
Additionally, tens of thousands of displaced people in northern Gaza are seeking refuge in open spaces in or around hospitals, treating them as havens from violence as well as to protect the facilities from potential attacks. Their lives, too, are at risk when health facilities are bombed.
There are verified reports of deaths of health care workers and destruction of health facilities, which denies civilians the basic human right of life-saving health care and is prohibited under International Humanitarian Law.
WHO calls for Israel to immediately reverse evacuation orders to hospitals in northern Gaza, and calls for the protection of health facilities, health workers, patients, and civilians.
WHO also reiterates its calls for the immediate and safe delivery of medical supplies, fuel, clean water, food, and other humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, where life-saving assistance, including WHO health supplies that arrived earlier today, is currently awaiting entry.
