⚡️We need a thread about lectures❗️🧑‍🏫

That there is ++ response (some being v visceral) shows this is important.

I don't believe it's fair to overly criticise Dan for raising a complex educational delivery issue which is *evolving*...

Let's explore... 🧵

1/ We just published our full @Cochrane_ACE systematic review and meta-analysis of videolaryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for adults undergoing tracheal intubation.

The full review is here, but first - some of our key takeaways 👇

This the most remarkable graph! Only 10% of the UK population over 12 is unvaccinated. 📊
Don’t know any other interventions that have such a huge effect on preventing critical care admission. Get vaccinated, what are you waiting for?!

So rarely tweet about sport, but today's #f1 #AbuDabhiGP has completely turned me off the sport today - this culture of binning/bending the rules whenever it suits because of some narrative/deal/lobbying has been made is simply disturbing, really miss Whiting. #f1finale #MasiOUT

[Pól Dubh 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇱🇻 @PaulBlack2022]

Lap 56 : FIA race control “Lapped cars will not be allowed to overtake”
Lap 57 : FIA race control “Lapped cars will be allowed to overtake”

Lap 58: only 5 out of 12 lapped cars allowed to overtake.

Masi “ it’s called motor racing”

[Alan Gopal @AlanGopal]

Michael Masi is probably getting more Google searches for his name than Max Verstappen in the last couple of hours, how do you end a season more famous than guy that supposedly won it lmao #F1Finale #AbuDabhiGP #F1

[Alan Gopal @AlanGopal]

@awwwnchal @Max33Verstappen @redbullracing More like calm strategic decisions from Masi to fix the race ;)

[George Rainsford @georgerainsford]

Imagine the equivalent happening in athletics, say. Telling the lead runner to slow down because someone had fallen over. The guy way behind gets to stretch out, pop on some new trainers and then it becomes a sprint finish. Absolute joke! #F1Finale #Hamilton #Robbed

[LFC_Tonks @LFC_Tonks]

Hamilton robbed!
Only 5 cars unlaped themselves, not all of them. They cleared the way for max to walk up to Lewis on fresh soft tires!! Lewis was a sitting duck! Wrong, wrong, wrong. #F1Finale

[Shehab Khan @ShehabKhan]

Utterly utterly outrageous - what a horrific way to end what was an amazing season

[Alan Gopal @AlanGopal]

Massey appears to be the best technical advantage a F1 team can have, who needs DRS when you've got him backing your team lol #F1Finale

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

I think that, as a result of #IAmPhilipMitchell case, we now all must insist on longer consultations times

Trust efficiencies be damned, we need to be able to write three pages of notes per patient consultation

Congrats Livvy!!!

[Srinivas Chintapatla @ChintapatlaYork]

I am so delighted...Olivia, AWR research fellow York Abdo Wall Unit, passed her MD viva....2 years work, 70000 words ...asking patients how CAWH affects their quality of life...Congratulations!

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

You're right @Jeremy_Hunt, it won't

Must look at retention as well as recruitment- & a *major* driver out of the profession (& to LTFT) is punitive pension taxation.

This *must* be adressed with a tax unregistered scheme, exactly like you have done for the judges

RT if agree

@smolrobots Hope you feel better soon!

I too am burdened with glorious purpose... Dr Loki: Anaesthesia #Loki

Anaesthetist when two surgeon’s are arguing about who’s case goes next in the Emergency theatre

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

This raises serious questions for @PHE_uk and its dogmatic advice to NHS trusts. How many infections and even deaths have resulted from the guidance to stick with surgical masks only? Thankfully some NHS trusts have ignored and showing the way for others:

[Trisha Elliott @Trisha_the_doc]

Sad but accurate report from @Garethiacobucci in the @bmj_latest on “workforce planning” in NHS England.

“It concluded that workforce planning had been overly determined by the funding available rather than by demand & the capacity required.”
