Fantastic talk from @LukeFlower1 summarising the findings from a great piece of observational work on echocardiography in shock management in ICU. 54% of scans influencing patient care in some way. More motivation to get the probe on the chest! @FICMNews

The most powerful thing you’ll watch today. Thank you @Kevin_Fong for your extremely moving testimony

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Prof @Kevin_Fong (Former National Clinical Adviser in Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response) is giving evidence to the Inquiry today. 📺 You can view it on the live stream (and via playback) through our YouTube channel now 👇👇 youtube.com/@UKCovid-19Inq…

What an incredibly uplifting story. 19 young Afghan women have just arrived in Edinburgh to complete their medical degrees. They'd lived in fear for their lives ever since the Taliban took power. All credit to the @LindaFoundation 👏👏👏🩺 theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

I think I understand why they may look like the answer to a question for some, but what I don’t understand is how they get away with describing themselves as the champions of ordinary people when they walk round housing estates looking like dukes on a grouse moor.

In Glasgow this weekend for APLS staying in a little budget hotel in no. 665 and was shocked to see they had '666' next door 😱 . Needless to say the only screams in the night came from some inebriated Celtic fans after winning the league...

R programming assignment submitted. I can confidently say I have no future in coding and I'm channeling my inner David Rose with my opinion on my relationship with 'R'


Some really inspiring people and talks today at #SICS2024. Lovely to see old colleagues and new! Kate Tantum's rehab talk reminding us that we should aim always for a quality of life for patient's on discharge. Not just survival.

Fantastic stuff, such brave people 👏

These are the scenes that the Kremlin 🇷🇺 did their utmost to prevent. It requires courage by citizens to go there and show their emotions - they are certain to have been recorded by the regime security service.

Trying some baby steps in learning the basics of 'R' being pretty programming naive and it's going disastrously. But what I have found is there is a David Rose / Schitt's creek gif for every one of life challenges such as this...
