@afg_asap It always make me sad when I hear stories like this. One of the joys of being a consultant is teaching medical students and junior doctors.

@TheLastLeg Huw Williams of Beautifully Brutal running community. Despite his own cancer battle he’s had folk all over the UK escaping Carol Baskin, sending ET home, doing the Proclaimers 500miles... The guy is a legend in an orange boiler suit. @BeautifullyBru6 #LastLegLockdownAwards

@nolanjimradial You can never have too many trainers

[Runningduck @Runningduck5]

Awoke to trainer audit. It’s always hard to say good bye after all the hard miles they have done.

@mscheartfailure @KeeleIAU @UHNM_NHS @wmahsn @mpftnhs Really looking forward to meeting all the delegates in 2 weeks and starting off the module

[Runningduck @Runningduck5]

@mscheartfailure Really excited to get going, thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work getting this up and running

@julesnorton @davehartin @UHNM_NHS @Doti1208 Often the best people at taking on these challenging conversations are the heart failure nurses. The nursing teams do much of the care and often the first to recognise when patients are entering the more palliative phase of there disease.

[Runningduck @Runningduck5]

@Doti1208 @julesnorton @davehartin @UHNM_NHS Too often in heart failure patients clinicians shy away from the difficult conversations meaning that plans are not in place and we have crisis management with patients inappropriately admitted to A&E. We all need to work together to improve care and improve EOL planning.

@TracyBullock12 @uhnm It was our pleasure to show you around and introduce you to the team.

[Runningduck @Runningduck5]

@CarysBarton Thank you, eventually taken the plunge😬
