My last day with the community team. Found this posted up. Nice to get my messages across

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

Francis Report -05 "Provide for a proper degree of accountability for Senior Managers & leaders to place all with the responsibility for protecting the interests of pts"

23-LL prosecuted with lives lost because Managers did exactly NOT that.
18 years and we hvnt learnt a thing

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

Oh @SteveBarclay

Just seen this.

Awful 🤣 for you.

Feel everyone needs to see it again.

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

Acute Medicine Awareness week is here! Talk to a colleague about AIM and not so subtly point out how awesome we are!
Additional points if you can remain calm and not throttle the person who tries to say we're an "on call specialty" #TakeAIM

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

We need a discussion and an open platform where you can pause the superhuman strength expected from our profession without fear of rebuttal!
Let's plant more trees and keep the conversation going. Here's to the ones we shouldn't have lost along the way.

[SWB NHS Trust @SWBHnhs]

Many thanks to @amateuradam & @DoctorsDistress for helping us plant an olive tree @ Sandwell Hospital to remember all NHS colleagues who have died by suicide. This memorial is a destination for reflection and a symbol of love and care for all. #SWBfamily

@elsdraeger Perpetuating the myth that Acute Physicians are failed different speciality doctors. A boring trope surfacing again.

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

💀 Unsolicited advice from random surgeons:

‘Stop speaking up you won’t get a consultant job’

🦴ARCP comment from TPD:

‘Just keep being you’

After a hard time w an acute health issue, operation & recovering. Just what I needed to hear from someone who *actually* knows me🙏🏻

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

Teachable Moment with med student on why isolated facial injuries (ie no hand or arm injuries) following a fall can sometimes suggest a syncopal cause:
Me: if I ran up to you and pushed you over what would you do?
Med student: I'd push you back!
Yeah, can't argue with that...

[Usman Ahmed 🦴🔨 @OrthopaedicOz]

I sat down with my FY1 before we scrubbed for a case & had a chat about how he should look at things despite all the negative experiences being shared on here & I started with “FY1 will feel like rubbish but it is a matter of perspective”. I’ll take a risk and share on here 🧵

[Dr Chipo Ndlovu @DrCNdlovu]

Good reminder of the signs of difficulty which apply to all doctors.#postgradmed

[Dr Chipo Ndlovu @DrCNdlovu]

Useful reminder from @BryarsEb about problems that can cause problems in training . #postgradmed

[UHB Cancer Services @UHBCancer]

Research has shown that there are some types of cancer that is more prevalent in Black and Asian ethnic communities. If you notice any symptoms that you are concerned about, get in touch with you GP. Often, early diagnosis is key to treatment. @NHS_WMCA @BSol_ICS @uhbtrust

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

@DrRJWebb Make friends with the ED sisters and introduce yourself to the ED NIC at the beginning of your on call shift. Their knowledge and guidance are invaluable and will make it an easier shift!

[Cat Atkin @Catatkin]

Great to talk #BGSconf about length of stay in acute admissions, data from @SAMBA_Acute today - sad to miss out on being there in person with @HannahLaugher @twh_knight @DanLasserson

Room for improvement in structuring SDEC and acute med services for those with frailty

[AIM SpRs WM @AIMSpRs_WM]

Great Podcast for our budding Acute Internal Medics out there!

[Mike Henley 🤨 @trentconsultant]

No one should be working in a hospital where doctors are not allowed to sleep if clinically quiet. https://t.co/4Y9nO1fFMK

[takeAIM @take__AIM]

We've extended the deadline to apply to become a takeAIM fellow - its now 17th June 2022. If you're an Acute Medicine registrar in the UK and want to find out more, drop us an email or DM us here.

[Zack Ferguson @zackferguson]

My favourite phenotype of Med Reg is the exquisitely senior ST19 at the end of a night shift. Arms folded over ragged cardigan, she stares down the nervous post-take consultant who used to be her SHO with the cold glare of a woman whose patience for this bullshit ran out long ago
