Fantastic 2-day conference this September with a world class line up of speakers covering all things AWR/hernia surgery. Abstract prizes at national level and held in beautiful Torquay. Fantastic value at £50 for trainees and £100 for consultants. Registration now open!

Are most units using reusable, single use or a combination of choledochoscopes? What disposable scopes are units using as an alternative to purpose made reusable choledochoscopes if this is the case? Interested to see what varieties are being used around the UK currently

Great to see @RCSnews making a clear statement regarding SCP scope of practice & condoning the actions of Walsall Healthcare Trust. I was critical of RCSEng guidance for being too vague but this was the clear message that was needed 👏🏻
SCPs should NOT be performing lap choles!

U.K. medical practice has gone mad. We are the laughing stock to the rest of the world. There are SCPs doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy’s despite trainees struggling for numbers and AUGIS initiatives on safe cholecystectomy due to a climbing BDI rate. 1/2
