Very pleased to have been invited to speak at the inaugural @PPCImeeting about the AHP’s experiences of on call primary PCI. A big emphasis on team work and looking after staff as well as patients.
Always proud to represent cardiac physiology and @cardiorespLTHT!
Natalie and Fiona are on-site today at #PPCI2024 alongside @DrHBulluck, @MuruguVee, and an esteemed national faculty!
The meeting is focused on empowering consultants and registrars with cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills in the effective management of STEMI – PPCI
The day promises valuable learning through interactive, case-based discussions, fostering the exchange of experience and best practices
@MedCrisis It’s a money thing pure and simple. Why pay a consultant when you can a nurse?
Perhaps a cynical view but I feel that’s the way of the NHS at the moment
So a cardiology ST8, who has gone through the very highest competition at every stage in their career, at the very culmination of 20 yrs of training, will be clerking patients in MAU, while an ANP being trained intensively is being hailed as a great success story?
Yesterday our EP team performed their 1000th Cryo-balloon ablation to treat AF!
Cryo-balloon has enabled the team to transform patient pathways, enabling many patients (<75%) to go home the same day and over 50% of patients never needing an inpatient bed
‘Hiya is this gastro on-call? I’m Rob from Prestwich, 54, bit of a boozer. CGV last 24 hrs, melaena 2 days. Glasgow-Blatchford 8, but that’s without an Hb cause I’m calling from home to self-refer. Am I alright to pop in for a quick OGD +/- transfusion later today? Ta.’
A pay rise in line with inflation for ALL public sector workers would cost around an extra £12-15bn.
An annual 1.5% tax on any wealth above £5m would raise £16bn.
We can afford to give people a proper pay rise. The Tories' refusal to do so is a political choice.
Early 30s. No PMHx. Bad chest pain then 2 weeks of severe breathlessness. Still going to work!
Almost continuous murmur, appeared stable & waited two days for an echo 😳
If you want to guess for your own education, guess now as the answer's in the next tweet...
An interesting start to lab 2s day with Dr Graham and the team. Persistent left SVC with difficult access. Great result team 🙌💪 @cardiorespLTHT@LTHTCRMandEP
🚨BREAKING🚨 Thérèse Coffey has announced plans to overhaul emergency care. From October, A&Es must ensure that >90% of patients undergo a “Comprehensive Treatment Plan for Assessment” at the front door.
“I want every patient attending A&E to have a CTPA” she told the BBC.
Great talk from @LeedsHospitals very own Dr Das on patients with MINOCA. Very interesting to see the different investigations and diagnoses for these patients who often cause some head scratching in the cath lab. #BCS100#BCS2022
