So guys, I had an idea for an educational network, I would love for you to take a look!
What's the YES Collaborative? Isn't that
@rwc90? Why have I been followed? A short 🧵
Was great to present my work at #ICOSET . The feedback from trainees and trainers was telling - we need to be talking about this more! – at Stannington, England

Rory Clarke flying the flag for @NHSWTE_NEY Future Leaders Programme talking about the importance of giving trainees autonomy and resource to drive training improvements.
If you're a gen surg Trainee in the UK please fill in this survey! Evri is doing great work teaching those of us less research inclined, and what more is trying to integrate it into training!

Oh and we've done a webinar through the Moynihan academy last year

This needs all of us to act as allies, advocate for our colleagues and spread the word so that people know this before getting pregnant or supervising a pregnant trainee
I genuinely want to know what surgical reg is going to agree to a locum at this rate? Surely the only outcome from this is the shifts don't get filled- so is this the intention? @wannabehawkeye
These new extra-contractual rates in @uhbtrust are abysmal.
The average hourly rate for a plumber is £50 per hour.
For an emergency plumber it is £112.50 with a £110 call out fee.
Massive withdrawal of locums is the only answer to this.
If you know this information, and you still make pregnant trainees in your programme do nights/on calls/unadjusted hours the SECOND you find out they are pregnant, your're not just part of the problem for these complications, you are directly responsible
Up to 82% of pregnant surgeons experience miscarriage, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. Occupational hazards, including prolonged standing, physical exertion, overnight shifts, and teratogenic exposure, contribute to these risks.

Another comment that 5 yrs of 80 hr work weeks isn’t enough to train competent general surgeons. Listen ppl, if you can’t take a person & do this in 5 yrs, the problem isn’t limiting the work week, it’s why you are allowing so much of this persons time to be wasted.

How many times have we seen "leaders" not rock the boat or challenge the status quo? How many have we seen strive for the position, only to do nothing with the responsibility?
And I'm not talking about heads of college or deanery's. Im talking about consultants in the job. How many of you have finished a ward round, then turned around and asked your team for feedback on it?
Roughly most people spend between 5-10 years as a trainee. Why do we think people can automatically unlearn submissive behaviours once they are in positions of power.
We are taught to not rock the boat, not to question those immediately above us in power structures, and more importantly " grin and bare " bad training and situations, and if you want to change things wait until you have positions of power
