Just watched Anaconda as everyone loves Paul Rudd. but the film has 10%women actors and 1% female lines. The world is 60% women. One black female lawyers’ line is ‘I don’t know what to do’. Seriously? That is the best they could do in 2026? We need to stop watching this misogynistic shit.

This patient had very severe Dupuytrens contracture with MCPJ and PIPJ of 90’ flexion each. He had no use of the little finger. I did a fasciectomy and it needed a skin graft and at only 4weeks he has a beautifully healed wound and nearly full movement. All down to the patient rehab!

Beautiful Dupuytren’s pretentious and spiral cord today with ulna digital nerve curving underneath, over the A1 pulley which was unusual. It then curved back through the middle at the PIPJ. Just when you think you know #Dupuytrens! #handsurgery

We forced the children to walk and explored the local 37arched viaduct. My husband still denies his train went over this for years when he commuted…. Yes this suddenly appeared…

I can STRONGLY recommend flying lessons if you aren’t scared of heights and like butterflies in your tummy… I took off and landed and even tried barrel rolls over the Isle of Wight but the wings said no… anyone out there have their Pilots License? 🛫

Shout out to the hilarious 90year old patient who doesn’t want anything done for her ganglion and has even named it. Meet ‘Donald Lump’ everyone! 🤣 #handsurgery #NHS

Another day, another talk shining a light on the murky corners in medicine… patients suffer when doctors don’t feel safe. I am proud of our strong response @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social This behaviour must stop now 💪🏽 #ILookLikeASurgeon #MeToo @nhsemployers.bsky.social #RCOG2025

Just filmed the intro to @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social Code of Conduct training. Tackling high levels of sexual misconduct in surgery. Unfortunately I discovered I am incapable of speaking even simple words with a camera pointed at my face. So sad to learn I will not be a late blooming film star 🤐

Calling all UK surgeons: please complete our Census - where do you work? How many PAs? How can the we improve wellbeing and productivity? What is the best part of your job? We use this data to lobby government and National bodies - spread the word #NHS #surgeon @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social

Shocking article in the Times, perpetrating outdated stereotypes. Sports writer shows misplaced arrogance, rudely dismissing all women in Orthopaedics. BOA and BHS have responded.

'Like left handers, neurodivergent colleagues, who account for 15-20% of the UK population, are capable people who face additional challenges as a neurological minority.' 🙏 Catherine Bell for highlighting how we can normalise inclusion of neurodiversity. www.bmj.com/content/388/...

The 2021 Australian census shows that single parents are 79.8% women and 20.2% men. So a proposal that babies are given their mothers surname by default (other options as a choice) might actually make administrative and practical sense. Thoughts? 🤔 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Ok I received this comment and tried not to 🤯… it’s been hundreds of years of white men, particularly in @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social leading the way, but evidence shows diversity improves innovation and outcomes. Any tips on how to handle this #notmyson comment?! #notallmen #diversity

New data from the GMC shows that for the first time there are now more female than male doctors with a licence to practise in the UK. This is a fantastic achievement and has taken 150 years to reach after women were first allowed to become medical students.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
