Outcome 6 in ARCP - specialty training in T&O done!!
Be sure when you step, step with care and great tact
And remember that life’s a great balancing act
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right side with your left!

Well done everyone and thanks for getting involved! If you think you are a collaborative author and haven’t had an email, please get in touch with me asap.
Good news, everyone!
The role of gender in operative autonomy in orthopaedic surgical trainees (GOAST) has been accepted for publication in The Bone & Joint Journal.
Thank you to all of our collaborative authors - we couldn't have done it without you!

I wonder if increasing ambiguity over non-medical roles will be the catalyst for UK surgeons to go back to calling ourselves Dr again? What do you think,

It’s interesting that although many more female than male trainees take time out for parental leave, men are more likely to take time for family or compassionate leave. This may reflect similar responsibilities for both that are just recorded differently
This national collaborative study sought to determine whether gender influences operative training and surgical autonomy for UK orthopaedic trainees.

Hi

4.From ST6-ST8, trainees are lead surgeon on 75% of all cases they are involved in
5.Male trainees are lead surgeon on 3% more cases than females, equating to an estimated difference of 54-61 cases over the five-year training programme

Thank you to everyone who’s had the courage to speak out about this.
If you’re in any sort of supervisory position over trainees, it is your responsibility to make sure this doesn’t happen

The MSF allowed any of your colleagues (not just consultants) to give anon., unbiased feedback. You got an equal say. The MCR is paternalistic and 0a block to those who otherwise are ready to CCT depending on whether they meet their CS’s subjective idea of a ‘day one’ consultant

I can’t agree more. I don’t understand how national bodies can justify calling training grade doctors ‘junior doctors’ and expect this not to impact on the respect they get from nursing staff and patients.
