[1/16] Deeply flawed and completely misleading modelling from Medifintech’s own @gdcuk Graham Crossley at @Quilter. Here's why the £125k pension headline is erroneous, misleading, and deeply flawed 👇

Evidence-free interventions are a big bugbear of mine. Especially for complex interventions rolled out across the NHS.

I have skeptical of SDEC services for some time.

First systematic review here done by a good team.

You are the resident on CICU. A patient arrives with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). What is it? How does it work? How do you troubleshoot?

It's ⏰ for a @CardioNerds tweetorial!

First up: the basics

1/12 I have been pondering the meaning of “consider” in the new @NICEComms HI Guideline. For patients who are back to baseline and only indication for CT is ‘aged >65y on a DOAC’ how would I “consider”?

World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) today published long-awaited report on cervical screening.

It's 108 pages long.

Wow. Pretty much eviscerates the Irish legal system and the 'unfair' tactics of lawyers in Ireland 🧐 😳

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.

It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.

It did not.

Earlier this week, we discussed excess deaths and pressures in A&Es with Dr Adrian Boyle, @RCEMpresident, and NHS England.

RCEM estimates that there are at least 300-500 excess deaths associated with A&E pressures. Watch below as Dr Boyle explains how they reached this estimate:

Having worked nights over the weekend, I am extremely concerned at how few sick, elderly patients we saw in ED. I don’t for one second think that they’re not unwell. I think they’re at home, terrified to come to ED because of the “don’t go to hospital” statements last week. 1/n

Awful example of what happens to rotating drs when permanent staff don't support them/ are actively cruel. Non-rotating health workers: please challenge toxic behaviour in your departments. Culture is everyone's responsibility.

NB OP overwhelmed by response so username removed.

Highlight of my career so far! From an idea conceptualised during my PhD, cultivated by 4 generations of PhD students after me under the watch of @WilfriedMullens, to a @NEJM publication and novel treatment for acute #HeartFailure

Last night we had a case that demonstrates an extremely important cause of shock that many ED clinicians know little or nothing about
