Good morning from #BCISACI Day Two in the Education Zone!
This morning, @jdinaus and @JenARossington are teaming up for the Boston Scientific Breakfast Symposium, Streamlining IVUS-Guided PCI Workflow: Driving Efficiency with ALA.
There is still time to join. The session is located in the Exhibition area on the 3rd Floor of the West Wing.
If there is one thing I could bring back into the NHS, it will be proper bedside teaching.
Those teachings where a resident doctor will present by the patient's bedside, demonstrate clinical skills, followed by proper detailed discussions. Every resident can rat out stuffs that we now need to check on BMJ best practice or uptodate. But the sheer volume of work both on the consultant and residents side is a big barrier to this.
Residents these days are being chased around for bloods and canulas, even being pulled out of ward rounds for discharge summaries.
This is where I feel PAs could have helped.
Knowledge that should have been memorised by rote on ward rounds are now just being learnt for exam purposes. Skills that should have been perfected at the bedside are now being learnt in PACES courses.Fundation doctors are getting greatixes based on how many discharge letters they could complete in a day.
Medical education in the NHS definitely needs a reform.

@BritishCardioSo Thanks. It actually shows registration is not opened yet/event has ended when I click the links. I’ll wait for the pages to be updated.
I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country.
They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends.
We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.
An insightful 2 days at the BCIS Interventional Trainees Course. The simulation training and live cases offered outstanding educational value. #BCIS#MillbrookConferences #2025
