So excited to see Adam Peryt and the thoracic team @RoyalPapworth completing their first cases. Congratulations to the entire team for bringing minimal access surgery to more patients with #Versius
đź‘‹ Meet Serena, our first patient to benefit from robotic assisted thoracic surgery.
In a UK first, we have started using a new type of robot, Versius, by @CMRSurgical, for some thoracic operations.

Concern that governments are slow to respond to concerns about non- surgical cosmetic complications. This is not about looking after the practitioners it is about looking after patients! @SaveFaceUK Care givers are here for patients. Nothing else matters

I’d be wary of commissioning more work, there is plenty of data either out there (@OrthopodReg & @beckybeckyfish article, the Times article, LOST study, STEP & many others). What should come next is work to re-design/implement change which is the harder bit.

Hello the @TimesMagazine piece is actually outside paywall (as part of Times Health Commission) . thetimes.co.uk/article/sexis…
So excited @CMRSurgical having appointed a medical industry front runner as our new CEO. Welcome Supratim Bose.
Having worked with @RoyalPapworth for a number of years, I am delighted to be sharing this news and to see the team adopt #Versius so that more of their patients can benefit from minimal access surgery.
🇬🇧 We are to become the first UK hospital to use the @CMRSurgical Versius robot for thoracic surgery.Â
This cutting-edge technology will allow our surgical teams to perform more even minimally invasive surgery, improving patient outcomes. đź’™

Delighted to have welcomed @RCSnews President @mortensen_neil to @CMRSurgical today. Wonderful to discuss the role of surgical robotics in the future of surgey, innovation in the #NHS and #Versius.

When I see the response from the UK of the various aid agencies to the Turkish crisis I feel so proud to live and work in the UK
My friends and colleagues at @SIUT in Karachi have just completed their 1000th case with @CMR @versius system. Such skill and dedication in keeping with the high standards of their institution.

Always great to hear from our surgeons utilising #Versius' capabilities.

We're constantly working to improve our technology to provide the best experience for surgeons and patients alike.

Thank you @mohameddmagdyy for sharing your experience!
I tried the CMR Versius robot in the dry lab today. The open console and the ability to work standing is definitely a plus. #versius @CMRSurgical #Robotics #urology #UroSoMe #MedTwitter #Medical
