episode 22: how to win friends and influence p-values
Welcome to the latest episode of the see one / do one podcast. In this episode we talk all about research.
*Hold on* - we know this could be a somewhat dry topic, but not when done in our unique orthohub way!
Our guests are Matt Costa and Dan Perry, two TITANS of orthopaedic academia who get their message across very well, and are great value too!
Matt is a Professor of Orthopaedic Trauma at the University of Oxford and has been a leading light in the rise of the pragmatic trial - research done in the real world that directly impacts our daily work and how we actually treat patients.
Dan is an NIHR Professor of Children's Surgery and Emergency Care and leads global randomised clinical trials in paediatric orthopaedic surgery and paediatric acute care. He is also a current ABC Fellow. Dan's research focuses on epidemiology and effectiveness research. He has an interest in 'big data' and clinical trials of orthopaedic interventions.
In this wide-ranging and fun conversation we cover many different topics including:
* their very different journeys into research and the world of academia
* the problem with pragmatic trials, and why they have upset some of the orthopaedic community
* the ying and yang between academics in their "ivory towers" vs everyone else in the "real world"
* the challenges with multi-centre / international collaborations
* does being good at academia impact how good you are at operating
* how juniors undertaking research can avoid being taken for a ride
* how do we stop poor quality research
* are journals a scam
* the future of research and impact

orthohub stories: Swee Ang Chai - orthopaedic surgeon, aid worker, activist & author
The next in our series of ‘orthohub stories’, this time we’re with *Swee Chai Ang*: Orthopaedic surgeon, Aid worker, Activist and Author. She sits in the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame to boot!
Swee talks about her parents and how their strength and harrowing experiences in captivity, forged the iron within her. She talks about how to make a difference to others and what it is to help people who are in need.
We discuss how it was to become a female orthopaedic surgeon, back in a time when they could be counted on one hand.
She describes the unique love story with her husband Francis, a relationship that was punctuated by periods of time in prison, undergoing interrogation and fleeing Singapore to the UK as refugees.
We hear about her journey to Beirut, why she went and some of the horrors of war that she encountered.
The story is humbling and, in places, very sad yet absolutely compelling to hear. She speaks very candidly about how different faiths can work together to find common ground.
We end on a hopeful note, discussing what it might take to find peace in a region where memories of conflict and hostility are culturally engrained.

episode 20: the difference between diversity, inclusion and equity
Join our new orthohub see one do / one episode on the difference between diversity, inclusion and equity with Johnson & Johnson’s Executive Board members, Hani Abouhalka and Lucy Morrisey!
Discover what exactly is it - is it some passing fad that we need to be seen to doffing our cap at to tick a box, or is it something we should all be putting right at the core of what we do?
Our two special guests help us explore this in our own particular way!
Hani Abouhalka is the company group chairman for Johnson & Johnson medical devices in Europe, the Middle East & Africa and is responsible for J&J's medical device businesses encompassing surgical technology, orthopaedics, cardiovascular and specialty solutions. He is the executive sponsor of the Women's Leadership & Inclusion employee resource group and a board member of the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, a charity responsible for managing J&J's community impact programme.
We are also fortunate to be joined by Lucy Morrisey, who was previously blessed to have been Kash and Pete's boss at Barts as the Divisional Manager for Emergency Care and Trauma. She has previously spent time at the UCL Institute of Health Equity, as well as in senior management roles within some of London’s largest hospitals where she led large service transformation agendas. Lucy took the role of ‘Silver Command’ for the NHS cyber-attack and the London Bridge terrorist attack. She is now a director in the Strategic Capabilities team at Johnson & Johnson and the Women’s Leadership Initiative Pillar Lead for UK and Ireland.
Lucy discusses her experiences of diversity and inclusion and brings a uniquely broad lens covering healthcare, the NHS and the corporate world. She also tells us just how much she misses working with orthopaedic surgeons…
In this wide-ranging conversation we cover many different topics including:
• what exactly are diversity, inclusion, equality and equity and why do they even matter?
• the value of role modelling, mentoring and sponsorship
• why do we need to change if everything is working fine as it is?
• is diversity and inclusion just trendy and “woke”, or does it hold real value?
• what does it look like when it’s done well?
• why would anyone ever want to become a healthcare manager?
• how orthopaedics often comes at the bottom of diversity tables and how best to address this
• are certain professions more appropriate for men and women?
• the role of unconscious bias
• what is it like being at the receiving end of dismissive behaviour and how to respond?
• stereotypes within surgery and in orthopaedics
• how diversity and inclusion vary around the world
• what can people in positions of privilege do to engage and to feel less awkward when discussions about diversity and inclusion arise
• and how can we all bake this into what we do for the benefit of ourselves, our colleagues, and our patients

Virtually all of us have had an idea for an app or a company at some point in our lives (and not always healthcare-related), but it very rarely goes any further- until we see someone else getting millions in investment a few years later and we are left kicking ourselves at what might have been!
Well if you have ever had an idea for a product or a business, this is the podcast for you!
In this episode we talk about how to take an idea and develop it, who to approach and when, how to bring in the right people to grow your company, when and how to bring in investment, and how to protect your interests.
We use a healthcare business as a basis for our discussion, but the principles, lessons and tips are applicable to *any* start-up in *any *field.

orthohub stories: David Sellu
David Sellu (https://www.davidsellu.com) was a respected colorectal surgeon with a record of over 40 years of outstanding medical service. He saved countless lives over 4 decades of practice, but then one patient encounter changed his life forever when a patient died under his care in February 2010. He was investigated by the GMC and then tried at the Old Bailey, where he was charged and convicted of gross negligence manslaughter in 2013.
Many of the complexities of the case were not adequately explained or explored to the jury, and he was convicted by a jury with a majority of 10-2. He was jailed in a maximum security prison at the age of 66 and served 15 months of a two-and-a-half year prison sentence. His conviction was later quashed on appeal after major failings were discovered regarding his first trial.
His story is one that sent shockwaves throughout medicine and has implications for every doctor.

Are medical graduates nowadays cleverer and better doctors than her generation were?
Has the template for being a great role-model changed and has ‘the clinical team’ been degraded?

I really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation with Mr Prim Achan, Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon, previous ABC Fellow and Training Programme Director for the Percivall Pott rotation.
The topics covered are so universal and widely applicable that this episode will be of interest to all physicians and surgeons alike, from **all** backgrounds and specialities.
We discuss:
* what factors are needed to build a world-class department
* how to choose a mentor
* how to give meaningful advice to mentees
* the differences between a mentor vs an advisor vs a coach
* our personal experience of fellowships
* 5 things that make a great fellowship
* do you have to do an overseas fellowship?
* should you do 2 fellowships?
* when to leave a fellowship early
* the benefit of travelling fellowships
* and more!

episode 7: Covid-19 & Orthopaedics - the social distancing episode
A BUMPER DOUBLE-EDITION episode to help get you through the lockdown!
This unprecedented episode is brought to you by the words "covid", "tsunami", "FAME" and "unprecedented".
We review the impact on Covid-19 on the management of trauma & orthopaedic patients.
We talk about the changes in our day-to-day lives and the impact on our clinical practices.
We review how Orthohub (www.orthohub.xyz) came about at breakneck speed, and look back over the 1st webinar. The initial plan was to provide teaching to our local trainees on the Royal London and Percivall Pott rotations, but this rapidly morphed (due to the beauty of t'internet) to providing free interactive orthopaedic education for all.
We then hone in on the non-operative treatment of orthopaedic trauma and the challenges that arise, including the provision of physio and finding traction equipment nowadays.
We think that orthopaedic surgeons may be more open to non-operative treatment after this covid experience and there may be…

episode 6: resuscitation of the bleeding patient - the rise of BATES
First the rise of Skywalker, now the rise of Bates.
Pete is back to finish up with round 2 of the management of the bleeding pelvic patient.
We recorded this prior to Covid-19 being on anyone's register and the biggest concerns were Brexit and Storm Dennis. Fortunately, Kash has always practiced social distancing from Pete just to be on the safe side.
We talk about AO and what they do. Pete explains how AO were initially very platey and not very naily and how it developed. He then gives us his travelogue on Leeds.
We discuss the 1st and 2nd line resuscitation of the bleeding pelvic patient and Kash even finds himself pushing for BATES (listen and it will all make sense) but will stick with BASTE out of spite.
We get stuck into clotting, TEG and ROTEM. Pete then goes on to display a hidden v nerdy understanding of Star Wars canon and dismisses Kash's superficial knowledge of the subject in comparison with barely concealed disgust.
Things get slightly high-brow as we discuss 2.5 el…

episode 4: pelvic fractures- peaky binders (the lost tapes)
We start by talking about the repercussions of doing a podcast.
Pete then gives Kash closure as they discuss everything you could ever possibly want to know about binders (its not as dull as it sounds, honest).
They cover (amongst some other stuff) :
* where does the bleeding come from in pelvic fractures
* the nursery rhyme of the human centipede
* how do binders actually work
* how tight is too tight
* should you use a binder in a vertical shear pelvic fracture
* the implications of open pelvic fractures (v v bad)
* the problems with binders
* when to take binders off.
Chapter timings:
00:04:13 intro to pelvic binders
00:04:49 the evidence for binders

episode 3: the one where Pete almost dies
We catch up over our Christmases and the challenges of nut roast.
Once we establish that Pete will always be late and no technology will help him, we move on to talk about the time that Pete almost died.
Pete then waxes lyrical about his most favourite thing in the world (protocols), before touching on war, the pre-hospital management of trauma, clotting, transfusions and managing the clot.

episode 2: the hardest operation in orthopaedics
So here we are, episode 2!
This was recorded back to back with the pilot episode and so there is some reference back to the pilot episode on distal tibial fractures.
It is almost seamless, but please don't mistake us for a professional outfit...
In this episode, we discuss the hardest operation in orthopaedics: removal of metalwork.
Pete drops pearls of wisdom that will make all our lives immeasurably better. He's basically a 'strawberry-blonde' Mother Teresa.

pilot: introduction & distal tibial fractures
Our first effort so please be gentle!
In this episode, we tell you a bit about ourselves, where we are based, who we are and what we do.
We briefly touch on the aims of the podcast and then move on to discussing the FixDT trial
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29136444
Pete goes off on a slight tangent and then Kash drags him back to talking about tips and tricks for distal tibial fractures. We talk about intra-articular extensions of distal fractures and how to avoid a valgus final position.
We talk through the role of blocking/ poller screws before finishing up.
We hint at the subsequent removal of metalwork and will come back to it in a future episode, if this doesn't all crash and burn!...
