How many ST3 Urology trainees can expect to be on the console in a robotic case day 3 of their job? Perhaps our training and exposure this side of the pond needs an overhaul...

Did my first solo lap nephrectomy today - it's so wonderful and satisfying feeling that you're becoming a better surgeon, and to have trainers who invest in you amidst all the pressures of training. Makes you remember why you're doing this all over again

Check out our latest paper on the use of

to streamline the urology cancer MDM:
🟢 Parallel to the MDM we gave ChatGPT the same

patient vignettes to be discussed in the MDM
🟢 We asked it to recommend treatments based on the latest EAU
@Uroweb
guidelines..
Eye-opening differential outcomes being highlighted by
@WallisCJD
, with a paper showing a higher risk of death from MIs in Florida EDs if you're treated by a male physician versus female, esp worse if a female being treated by a male. Perhaps communication is the reason?

Thought provoking debate from

on surveillance as a treatment strategy in urological conditions. Are we doing patients a disservice by not having (or using) sufficient data to inform our patients with the same rigour as when we recommend operations?

How does

measure up as a patient education tool prior to 🤖 robotic radical prostatectomy? We asked it the same questions on complication rates listed on the
@BAUSurology
patient information leaflet (standard in UK) & compared answers... (1/3) 🧵
More than
#prostatecancer
risk group, or treatment modality, a disconnect between expected and loved experience drives decision regret. Are we maybe moving people too quickly through cancer pathways before they've properly come to terms with their treatment decisions?

@benchallacombe
Great article Professor, and certainly agree with the sentiment, but just a challenge on the claim that it costs the government £250,000 to train a doctor - £64,300 of that comes from the medical student's own pocket, as student loans
@JimCatto
@Uroweb
@EUplatinum
@TheBMA
The best surgeons I've met in my career so far, and the ones I've looked up to the most, have had the virtue of humility. Thanks for supporting us juniors Prof!
In conclusion: our patients are already using

to educate themselves on procedures, this will only 📈. We need to remain vigilant to info our patients are receiving, & become active stakeholders in the development of

@bsimonty
I still remember how excellent an experience attending your advanced comms course was Mr. Montgomery, and how often it's been so useful in those difficult yet precious moments with patients and their families that they will forever remember. Glad to hear its continuing!

⏰ Deadline TOMORROW!
The QL m. can be seen & accessed through retro- and transperitoneal approaches (though easier with retro), and the surgeon can directly deliver the local

block through a port. We think this could save time⏳v. USS-guided delivery (or where not possible e.g. obesity)!
11/14 (78.6%) of ChatGPT 3.5's quoted figures were concordant and comparable to those quoted by the BAUS patient leaflet. 13/14 (92.9%) of ChatGPT’s responses were globally assessed to contain accurate info, appropriate, and pertinent to a patient’s potential enquiry (2/3)
@UroTaji
@Uroweb
Definitely, I think this is more a role of using LLMs atm as an adjunct to clinical decision making, rather than taking away some (or all) parts of decision making. By streamlining options presented to the MDM, the discussion might be more focused, quicker and more efficient.
🟢 We compared what ChatGPT recommended vs. what the MDM had... at no point had the real-world MDM recommended a treatment option that ChatGPT hadn't also recommended ✅
We think this use of
#ArtificialInteligence
could well streamline and speed up Urology MDMs
