@A_MacLullich Whilst I understand the importance of delirium and agree it is under recognised, I do not think it is equivalent to early ECG for recognition of acute occlusion MI requiring immediate cath lab (or thrombolysis) which is absolutely time critical.

THE EMBLEMS ARE HERE 🙌🔥

Consider this your official reveal 😉

Inspired by our reef, beaches, hinterland and everything in between, they bring together the places, people and spirit that will take us to 2032.

Distinctive. Unmistakably Queensland. And just a little bit cheeky

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia - this one’s yours 💗

@drkeithsiau People who read that there is lactate and potassium in Hartmann’s and saying it must be avoided for resuscitation without understanding physiology. 🙃

Great news for new parents: intensive care admissions for RSV in babies have halved in England, thanks to the maternal vaccination programme. 👶👶🏾👶🏼

If you're pregnant, don't miss out. Contact your maternity service or GP practice to get vaccinated & help protect your newborn.

@DeanEggitt It isn’t perfect but by gosh it definitely is greener+++

@sarah_aslannnn Have done the east coast journey a bunch of times. If you’re close to Euston then train to Waverley is clutch. Fastest is a flight and Lizzie line has made getting to LHR easy so often do that. Flying from LCY is a breeze so also recommend. Bus or tram from EDI into town.

@Microbedoc2 Meanwhile consultant professional development here…

@jfdwolff @DrLKVaughan @DrSteveTaylor @wesstreeting I never understood this. Somehow it’s not an issue in Australia and patients get medications from community pharmacy but it is in the UK? I don’t buy it.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

@DrLKVaughan @TheSnoozeDoctor When I did my adult ICU time in GC weekends included bread and spread. Consultants brought a variety of bread (award at end of the year for most delicious/bougie) and registrars brought spreads eg Vegemite, biscoff, nice butter etc. Night and day teams enjoyed after handover.

My flight was 3:40pm. It’s now 8:05pm. Still haven’t left. This incident has caused so much disruption. Worst of all, if our flight hadn’t been late inbound and then also an engineering fault, we’d have left before the security incident happened.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

@JoyceSpct Yes, filmed by me. Happy for free use with credit to me. Today 04-Aug-25 at Brisbane Airport between 1740 and 1805.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

Massive crowds as Brisbane airport evacuated. Unclear what will happen next and how they plan to re-screen the several thousand passengers here.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

@sueahearn Good luck! Starting to get people back through security now.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

Confusion everywhere now at Brisbane Airport as re-screening starts: individual flights being called over the loudspeaker to come forward but on arriving at security staff instead giving different information and wishing different flights to screen. Lack of consistency.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

@cait__kelly Done!

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

All flights grounded at Brisbane domestic due to an airport security breach. Unclear when things will get moving or what will happen next. Stuck on my already delayed flight at the gate. Staff on board lovely while we wait to hear more.

[Craig MacLean @CrashCall]

Entire Brisbane airport domestic terminal being evacuated. Have just been deplaned to leave and re-screen. Report is that security screening device was used whilst in fault mode and thus some passengers not screened. Now entire place has ground to a fault.

Just finished nights where we had zero catheters in ED, no working MRI, no aciclovir available for my patient, and skeletal nursing and HCA staffing. I had to scour three stores for a blue cannula…

But no… difficult conditions because of the strikes 🤡
