Update on the licensing status of Avastin when intended for intravitreal administration from @MHRAgovuk: https://t.co/rQTWRQ9KZd
Follows the Bayer v Darlington CCG bevacizumab case (see https://t.co/RbVyAKLfQJ). #unlicensed#offlabel (@davidreissner - interested?)
TIL that the *healthy* life expectancy (the number of years lived in self- assessed good health) for women in Wokingham, Berkshire, is 72; in Hartlepool it’s 56.
@LewisNHS@Martin_Newc_COO@NewcastleHosps @JackieDanielNHS @CaPP3 @carolinedocNHS @MCushlow The Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle (@NorthCumbriaNHS HQ) is a beauty, and I always like @NEAmbulance’s station in North Shields, the only remaining part of the old Tynemouth Jubilee Infirmary.
LW quotes are great but his big book is hard going. He was in the same class as Hitler in Austria but a profound opponent. His origins led to internment in the War and deployment to work in Newcastle. There’s a plaque in Peacock Hall
One of the great philosophers of the 20th century worked as a lab assistant at the RVI @NewcastleHosps during WW2 (and lived at 28 Brandling Park, West Jesmond). Apparently his work involved histology and ‘physiological measurements’ @CaPP3 @JackieDanielNHS.
Interesting piece on ICS - the clue is in the acronym. Integrated Care System. It is a System not an organisation that spans NHS, Local Government & communities. The system is the servant of the partners not their master. New thinking, new leadership, hopefully better outcomes
It’s the Jarra Arra! Steve Cram (@jarrowarrow) is the new patron for the digital priority workstream in our North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care System. 🏃♂️
Fab first day as South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust talking to staff @SouthTyneHosp! Looking forward to more celebratory cakes and defo a strong coffee @SunderlandRoyal tomorrow! #OneTeamOneTrust
Our incredible Emergency Department team is one of a very select group to meet the 4 hour target for the year, including the last month and last quarter. Well done to everyone throughout the hospital who made it happen #teamED
Fascinating presentation from @Paulinewonders on supporting families with cancer. Organisations like @FamilyGatewayUK play a vital role in extending the reach of our services into disadvantaged communities.
