Robin does not ski, so is unmoved by news that all the finest European resorts are under threat from global warming. He knows of many orthopaedic surgeons who undertake this pastime (the one who administered on-the-slope treatment to a friend, only to hear in the bar that he was an osteopath, is crossing the pond for his yearly fix, and is wished well).
Robin has previously commented on the Internet abilities of Badal Pal and his team, and is pleased to congratulate them on winning the 2003 Innovation award sponsored by Hospital Doctor. His fact sheet for the judges is attractive and impressive, marred only by the most successful attempt Robin has ever seen to cram all of the NHS's current key jargon into one paragraph, finishing ‘We believe we are moving forward with managing changes and culture in line with NHS modernisation’. Robin will definitely follow the model when his team starts bidding to join the stars. However, Pal old chap, four photographs of yourself is perhaps a little over the top. Also, for a wider audience than rheumatologists, all of whom know where he works, it might have been helpful to include a hospital address… and, of course, David James and his team cannot be ignored, having won the rheumatology section. So I won’t.
