My pleasure to give a talk on data collection in follow up windows in the @RACERTrials we run @WarwickCTU. Kind audience even laughed at my lame joke(s). But already had requests for code sharing and collaboration! Thanks for the invite #ICTMC2024 @ictmc2024

Last randomisation @nhsuhcw for #RACERknee this week making it our lead recruiting site! Led by @bryan_riemer, who is also our highest recruiting surgeon + also @kingofuhcw @AndyMetOrtho But realistically all possible through the hard work @jobrough22, Dani and @KerriMcGowan12

Fantastic achievement from a site that's had its fair share of challenges to have such a high output. Crucially - to innovate (with Mako), at high volume, with concurrent evaluation
Another milestone achieved today as we celebrated our final randomisation to the RACER KNEE study at St Cross, Rugby! A total of 170 patients recruited from @UHCW_RandD making us the TOP RECRUITER in the UK - what a way to finish!! 🤖😁🎉 @bryan_riemer @RACERTrials @AndyMetOrtho

Was pleased to hear from those who were there about genuine interest from @SteveBarclay in the @RACERTrials whilst at Rugby StCross. The technology has the potential to make a difference. @RACERTrials @NIHRresearch will give us the answer!
Today I saw more great examples of the investment we’re making in new NHS tech & facilities at Rugby’s Hospital of St Cross. 👉A MAKO robot to help deliver more precise surgeries + quicker recoveries. 👉A brand new Endoscopy Unit to help patients get diagnosed & treated faster.
