Birmingham, UK
Joined April 2013
This year I peer reviewed perhaps x10 more manuscripts than I wrote myself (as lead author). Here's what I have taken away about how authors can help me to produce peer review that will be useful for journal + the authors. @BJSurgery @ColorectalDis @Anaes_Journal @PLOSGPH.1/15.

Very impressive - Castle Hill Hospital installed 11,000 solar panels which are now generating 26MWh/day, enough to power the hospital during daylight hours. Project cost ยฃ4.2m but is saving ยฃ250,000+ daily in power bills, so will recoup cost I'm <2yr.

This may sound flippant, but what do medical schools spend their very considerable teaching budgets on?. The expectation many medical schools have is that NHS staff should do teaching for free (i.e. not job planned) - this no longer feels sustainable. #MedTwitter #MedEd.

I strongly believe the individuals who contribute to collaborative studies should be recognised as co-authors on publications. Some individuals are focused on metrics like h-index & RG score. These metrics were not designed for the 'team science' era and are -I think- useless.

Emerging theme from "lockdown files" coverage is Telegraph's belief that the risks of COVID-19 were grossly exaggerated. COVID-19 contributed to 185,707 deaths in England. Possibly 20+ million COVID-19-related deaths globally in 3yr -- versus ~40 million AIDS deaths in 40yr

A really important resolution from @BJSurgery. Large-scale (inter)national collaborations are needed to produce robust, generalisable findings. It's right that everyone who participates is recognised for contributing to research that has potential to improve patient care.
