Amazing day @RCSnews Staff Development Day. Amazed and humbled to hear @nigeltai’s insights as a military surgeon. I was privileged to join @karenkchui, @Ryan_L_K and @TawakirK32161 to discuss the future of surgery. Too many highlights to do justice. So much energy in one room!

Here's another piece of work we did in our @Surgeons_UK Wellbeing Team! @UroDoco

@urologem
Association of resilience and psychological flexibility with surgeons’ mental wellbeing
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrae…
This study examined whether two malleable psychological skills (psychological flexibility and resilience) mediated the relationship between personality traits and mental health in surgeons. Our findings suggest that it is not only a surgeon’s personality that predicts their mental health, but the extent to which a surgeon demonstrates these specific psychological skills. This has important implications for improving surgeons’ mental wellbeing, because psychological skills can be successfully targeted with interventions in a way that personality traits cannot.

I was chuffed to be runner-up for Research & Innovation (though @weds09, my esteemed ES, threatened to leave if I was runner-up only). Mind blown to receive Chief Medical Officer award from @PMWilson1. Thank you. Thank you all @UHD_NHS who have shaped the doctor I am today.

Having X-lurked for a few weeks after a hiatus of a few years, I thought my comeback tweet had better be good….
But I couldn’t think of anything, so naturally I’ve borrowed @UroDoco’s.
I’m proud of this. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write it.
