It's totally normal to take your book out for a walk, right?

Here's a video I made breaking down this AMAZING case of a 45-year-old woman who went into sudden cardiac arrest

5 of our BSG-NHSBT AUGIB audit abstracts are headed to DDW! 🎉 One gets an oral presentation, another a poster of distinction, and 3 posters. Huge thanks to BSG, NHSBT and the participating hospital sites for the support! #DDW2024 #AUGIBAudit #BSG #NHSBT .

A 17-year-old boy was rushed to the ER by his brothers struggling to breathe...

Good to see our ToRcH-UK paper in Frontline Gastro edition this month! Outcomes vary at non-specialist centres and less than 2% of patients are transferred to specialist centres (and less in 2024) - what do we do to improve the British Liver Trust BASL education feed

Take 2 minutes to watch this. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the #DoctorsStrike . Thank you Dr. Hilary Jones MBE.

A powerful & important read for all UK gastroenterologists: 'UK-wide survey of gastroenterology and hepatology trainees in 2022: endoscopy, workforce planning and the Shape of things to come' bit.ly/3tjg6wa

Where are we now… and what are we going to do about it? Results from the trainee survey #ShapeofTraining

Of respondents:
▶️ Only 10% would feel ready to CCT after a 4-year programme
▶️ Only 18% of ST6-7s plan to be a consultant with GIM commitments

Sunak didn’t just cancel HS2…

He authorised the sale of the land that would form part of the cancelled route

So no other leader could reverse his decision.

This major decision

One he took unilaterally

Without consulting parliament

…without anyone having voted for him.

Some shocking numbers from the BSG trainee survey:

-36% ST7s had provisional colonoscopy sign off
-69% interested in hepatology still wanted colonoscopy sign off
-10% felt they could achieve CCT sign off in 4 yrs

But what are we going to do about it?

Shape of training Royal College of Physicians - this is the impact on GI training

Great paper by BSG Trainees on the realities of the training decisions made over the last 10 years

In addition to your excellent 'bingo' card of predictable lies from Kate Andrews (& Tufton street backers)... throw in some misleading pay data as per last week #bbcaq where she falsely claimed pay cant be fixed in the NHS as others workers such as
