MMA embolization has become one of the most common procedures for cSDH. What about accessing the MMA to inject IA lidocaine for refractory headaches? Khattar et al bit.ly/3FuLMVn report their series in 45 patients with significant headache relief!

Absolute travesty that this is happening to training doctors when the system is straining and needs to be supported with these capable bright young professionals who have dedicated their lives to patient care @wesstreeting. I fear the brain drain is inevitable
There is a massive scandal within the NHS that the public aren’t being told about.
20,000 NHS doctors aren’t being allowed to become specialists, due to a lack of training jobs for them. These jobs are being centrally restricted by the government.
Doctors want to help the NHS, but are being held back from doing so. There is no rational explanation for this. When it takes months to see a specialist, or years to get your operation ask yourself why.
It is shocking that 1000s of doctors are out of training jobs, yet the only thing @wesstreeting has proposed is yet another ‘review’.
An entire generation of doctors are being tossed aside. Those responsible should be resigning in shame.
It’s a pleasure to be a part of this stroke imaging day arranged by @theBSNR. A big thanks to the organisers for such a fantastic initiative!

Shocking stats from today's article in @guardian : Only 4.3% of stroke patients in England can access life-saving treatment! Mechanical thrombectomy is one of the most effective, cost-saving interventions, potentially saving the NHS £73M a year. More resources are urgently needed!

🚨 A new prospective multi-center study shows that the double stent retriever thrombectomy technique can improve first-pass recanalization. s (OR 2.59, 95% CI 1.18 to 5.68, P=0.02) Would you do this technique upfront?

This month we will have UKNG teaching with @sam_kular looking at the applications of stereotactic radiosurgery in the neurovascular forum. We look forward to 25th September at 6pm. Teams link to follow for UK INR trainees @UKNGNeuro
