Very impressive - Castle Hill Hospital installed 11,000 solar panels which are now generating 26MWh/day, enough to power the hospital during daylight hours. Project cost £4.2m but is saving £250,000+ daily in power bills, so will recoup cost I'm <2yr.

A thread about switching from surgery to another specialty. When I switched from surgery in 2017 this was relatively unusual but I hear about lots of people considering it now, so thought to share my reflection. 🧵
