Being a surgeon is more than just cutting. Over the last 10 years, the best I have worked with have highly developed soft skills. Here are the 9 that will make you standout 🧵:

Shockingly unsurprising I’m not sure I have all the answers but I’m trying to do my bit to account for this

So @RCSnews @RCSEd What is the response to this? Don’t tell me ‘we’re going to make LTFT more acceptable’ You expect people to be isolated, without support networks, travel hours to their hospitals, pay more than they earn for childcare, deal with the misogyny Redesign.

I want to tell you a story The story is mine, but the position I was in is not just mine, it’s a position many have been in It’s about the time I did one of the most frightening things I ever did And I’ve done a lot of frightening things… I ‘returned to work’ as a surgeon
