- Countless @QSNeurosurgery Sprs and SHOs covering ICU shifts @uclh yesterday, including 3 consultants volunteering as runners for our hugely stretched and remarkable ICU nursing staff. #oneteam
- Congratulations to @HarithAkram on his substantive consultant appointment @QSNeurosurgery. We are lucky to have him.
- Well done to the amazing staff at Queen Square fighting #COVID19 this Easter on the wards and ICU @QSNeuroanae @UCLIoN. And thank you to all the businesses that have supported us with kind donations. #AOKkitchen @Dominos_UK @MealsForTheNHS @Coronacarechal @CostaCoffee
- Very pleased to report that @uclh and NHNN have been designated Tessa Jowell centres of excellence for brain tumour management. This is recognition of the great dedication of all our staff in the management of their patients @FoundationTessa
- Congratulations to our SHOs who got through neurosurgery national selection this year, including a particular mention for our @WEISS_UCL fellows @dzkhan94 and @Hugo_LH who ranked first and second!
- With great sadness we have lost William Harkness. Consultant at Queen Square from 1991-2004, he was an internationally renowned epilepsy surgeon. Co-founder of Intersurgeon and former President of the ISPN. He will be very much missed by us all.
- And welcome to @hani_marcus who was appointed today as a consultant neurosurgeon, 50% academic, and will join us next month.
- A new library donated by our consultants to the juniors for their hard work during the Covid crisis!
- Our neurosurgical simulation centre is up and running! Website to come soon where you can book onto upcoming courses using the latest simulation models developed by in-house engineers.Our newest academic trainee, @dzkhan94 performing a simulated endoscopic pituitary adenoma excision (and doing a very good job too I might add!) The pump, which @EmDimitrakakis developed, should allow for bleeding should the carotid be injured… #simulation #pituitary
