    No @BAUSurology information sheets?- no problem. Already in use by the patients! Not sure why we didn’t think of this before. Thanks to @UroNoel & Angus Bruce for getting it sorted @GuysUrology

    #urotwitter What are the 50 Landmark papers urologists should know? for a new @CRCPress book. These can be a new procedure, evaluating effects of new treatments/techniques, new classification system or insights into disease. With great coauthors @ClaireJTaylor1 @Yasminabugh

    I am a Consultant in urology & associate professor in a large teaching hospital. I’m vaccinated/boosted as are my teenage children. Vaccination is an important step in protecting my loved ones, my colleagues & my patients. It reduces morbidity, mortality & reduces ICU admission.

    Amazing stats for @GSTTnhs Robotics in 2021. Almost 1300 robotic operations (mainly cancer) over 5 specialities by 24 surgeons despite all the covid issues. Most ever in the 🇬🇧 for one trust! @GuysUrology @IntuitiveSurg Well done all our teams.

    Surgery must be one of the few professions where your performance the day before a holiday directly impacts on whether you can actually go on the holiday. #girft
