Brilliant work being shared by Ken Walker at the The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh #ICOSET meeting Geography dictates whether you get access to high level comms skills as a surgeon though.... Is that OK?

Key takeaway: 🔪 Surgery = not just technical skill. Like sport, it’s about adaptive expertise — integrating cognitive, physical, emotional skills, supported by trusted data and resilient teams. 🧠 📊 🖥️🤝🧘 #AIinSurgery #HighPerformance #medtwitter #meded #surgicaltraining

James Tomlinson There are definitely some parallels . Managing fatigue ensure optimised fitness of surgeon , Good team brief , written plan A and B and mental rehearsal of the surgery , optimised ergonomics, reassessment of situation during procedure , all make for best outcomes possible .
