Celebrating 10 years of @LIDA_UK - and see how far we’ve come! From postdoc at the very start of @LIDA_UK to my very own established research group @UoLMultiMorbEpi ! (Team photo TBC when all in same place at same time for Xmas do 🎄🤶). #Proud#lovemyteam#LoveAcademia(mostly)
Really pleased our lovely team science group have been awarded a @NIHRresearch#MLTC team
Science grant to explore the measurement of QoL. Big congrats to all @DrKirkChang @JonnyBatty@drtombeaney@vrkaggarwal @ClaireBrockett @DrLauraGray @NathanDavies50 @Sivesh93 & Li Wu
@take__AIM My 'drug of choice' in this situation (pre-excited AF) would be some propofol (given by a friendly anaesthetist) followed by a sync'd DCCV. I would only consider flecainide if really no option for DCCV - all the others have AV node blocking activity and can precipitate VF.
Fantastic to be invited to present at #BCS2024 with @cfcamm and launch our @BCSWIC ‘Becoming a Cardiologist Guide’. Stemming from medical student and junior feedback, the free guide explores pathways in cardiology and tips for IMT/ST applications
We have a problem with the definitions of multimorbidity and polypharmacy... ▶️ "the prevalence of multimorbidity ranged from 4·8% to 93·1%, while the prevalence of polypharmacy ranged from 2·6% to 86·6%" @SSPHplus@PopHealthLabCH @KatharinaJungo

Don't dismiss the early signs of a heart attack.
A squeezing across the chest. A feeling of unease. It’s never too early to call 999 and describe your symptoms: https://t.co/YWL66OzehD
I don’t think there’s a single “how to do a thing” blog I send people more often than @LucyStats ‘s piece on propensity scores. Undefeated

Was never a huge fan of moving the "Methods" section to the end of manuscripts but i dislike it more. not only shifts focus to the author's narrative over approach but they're now rarely stand alone & you have to go read the Results first to piece together what was actually done
There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9
Also, have you heard about our new #PLOSMedicine paper?
We showed that patients in lower socioeconomic backgrounds had an even greater risk of developing additional conditions

Effects of long term health conditions on survival after #heartattack
