It’s hard to imagine orthopaedics in the NorthWest without him. He has done so much for our speciality regionally, nationally and much further afield. Thank you for all of your support and wishing you all the best on your retirement @MartynPorter1 See you soon
The end of an era. Martyn Porter, friend, mentor and colleague scrubbing for his last hip replacement at Wrightington. He will be missed by all.

Excited to join the faculty again on our first cadaveric course post Covid. I often get asked how to get involved in humanitarian work. I have no doubt that the training provided on this course is best in class. See below for details👇🏼 @NottFoundation @RCSEd @RCSEdFRRHH
It’s difficult to celebrate the magnitude of this achievement for the foundation on the same day that medical colleagues, aid workers and healthcare facilities are targeted, killed and destroyed. Aid workers are not a target, and never should be #NotATarget
In February, we trained the largest number of medical professionals we have ever trained in one week.
With support from the Libyan Board for Medical Specialties, we upskilled over 100 doctors in #Libya.
Our course in action 🎬: lght.ly/c08e41k
Proud to have had the opportunity to lead the single most ambitious series of courses for @NottFoundation to date. Huge effort from all of the DNF team and superb faculty to get this over the line. A great start to 2024 with plenty more to come
💪 A first in our history!
🌍 We're back from delivering 4 surgical courses in just 1 week, empowering over 100 Libyan doctors.
With a new #obstetrics course and brand new teaching tools, this mission marks a huge leap forward.
📽️ Keep an eye out for stories from Libya.

I can’t even begin to describe how short sighted this is
A great effort by all involved. The state of the world makes this work so much more important. Honoured to join the faculty board this year with esteemed colleagues and excited for plans in 2024. Impact report 👉🏼 lght.ly/l8j43b0

A short 🧵 to share September's travelling fellowship experience to 🇺🇸
Hope it encourages others to seek similar opportunities for professional/academic/cultural exchange. Has helped my own development with experiences/relationships that will help me to improve patient care

1st stop @HSpecialSurgery to join the arthroplasty team: a masterclass in efficiency ~8 cases/surgeon/day. Great discussions on robotics, alignment philosophies, cemented vs press-fit knees. Got to meet orthopaedic royalty and good timing coinciding with @usopen QFs
2/7 – at New York, USA

Horrific scenes in Libya over the last 24hrs. This does not require planes full of nappies, blankets and food parcels. It requires full mobilisation of all of the agencies and clusters in the relief efforts @WHO @WHOEMRO @UN
Death toll in Libya floods rises to 3,000 people, after a disastrous day of flooding caused by Storm Daniel, says Benghazi administration aje.io/jpfxyd
This week brings to a close a fantastic 12 months hip and knee primary/revision arthroplasty fellowship @wrightington16
I’ll remember my time here fondly and couldn’t have asked for a better experience
Special thanks to my mentors @GeorgePavlou76 and Professor Kay
In the latest episode of Health in Europe, we hear from @MZeiton about his work with @WHO and training war surgeons with the @NottFoundation.

2022. What a year.
From Palestine to #Ukraine, we have travelled across the globe to improve the skills of local surgeons and help them treat war wounds.

Thank you for your support 💙🌍.
A fantastic couple of days at the @wrightington16 International Arthroplasty Meeting celebrating the legacy and work of Professor Sir John Charnley on the 60th anniversary of the first Low Friction Arthroplasty #WIAM22
I just donated a special premature nappy to a UK hospital by tweeting #PampersForPreemies - show your support and do the same! 👶
Pleasure to once again be invited back as faculty for this unique, one-of-a-kind training course
This week, we completed our 7th STAE Course with @RCSnews. Thanks to your continuous support and generosity, we have now trained 720 doctors, delivered 20 courses and saved 1.5 million lives and limbs. #trainingworks
