@lee68_james @SalisburyNHS Thanks James - really can’t wait. Will be there for the last 5 months of spr training as well so see you in March😃

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

6 months to go as a registrar, and this week was interview week. From August I’ll be a consultant at @SalisburyNHS. Can’t wait to get there and get started.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Thank you @maitlis for these crisp, stark, undeniable truths. How they needed to be aired.

Walking through Leeds heading to Quality Improvement in Healthcare of Older People - hoping to get some good ideas @GeriSoc

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

@mancunianmedic Completely agree but it has to come from the ward round lead/consultant. It’s really difficult to push it through without that.

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

Great dynamic, enthusiastic presentation and showed not just where things are with sarcopenia but also ongoing areas where more research is required. Well deserving of the recognition and award

[Royal College of Physicians @RCPhysicians]

Congratulations to #RCPTurnerWarwick 2019 winner for Wessex @StephenERLim for presenting his lecture with his work on acute sarcopenia, today at ‘Update in medicine – Wessex’ #RCPSouthEast

@Savern101 Surely that’s how the day starts?

Dear @BorisJohnson and @MattHancockMatt,
You are very welcome to spend £250m on AI for the #NHS. Just as soon as we fix all of the other IT problems first: /thread

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

Important even if you’re not thinking of Geriatrics as a career - these are the patients we all treat in every speciality

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

@Savern101 Hope it all goes amazingly well buddy.

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

New doctors incoming again, time to be a buddy

In 2018 there were 80,000 cases of measles - *triple* the number in 2017. 62% of these people were hospitalised. 72 died.

The anti-vaxx movement is deadly.

If you’re thinking of not vaccinating your kids, please, please chat to a doctor or nurse first.

Starting to think that I might have found the consultant example to follow. If I’m doubt, what would Picard do😃🧐

[Picard Tips @PicardTips]

Picard management tip: Leave the bridge sometimes. Other people can handle things fine without you.

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

Well worth a read. Often these points can raise further discussions, but we shouldn’t be afraid of those discussions either #havetheconversation

[Russell @Dr__Russ]

Sometimes words fail as a medical reg. The recent highlight was being referred a heart attack rule out which turned out to be golfers elbow

[Charlotte Kennedy @charkennedyEM]

Offer a cup of tea (or even better, cake) to the speciality registrars when they come down. They may not have eaten or drunk all day. They’re part of your team. Look after each other #onetribeEMTA
