@hlh1 @EmmaEMcLean Well done Helen 🥂

Deaf friends and audiologists, do you know any Deaf illustrators? 🙏

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

So in my other, non-dizzy life, I write books and today is #EarthDay and also my book birthday for #setsuko illustrated brilliantly by @hwigray published by @TinyTreeBooks and proudly supporting @mcsuk @DeborahMeaden

@Chris_Riggers @BarrySeemungal In the falls clinic we were doing Hallpike or side lying and roll test for horizontal canal as part of a much wider system screen/test protocol (neurological/cardiovascular etc)

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

@Otto_English Yep - the online training as part of the process to become a vaccinator is pretty strict to make sure we give out accurate info. They should carry out similar training/screening for numpties like him 🙄

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

Spent all day yesterday updating my eLfH record for the #vaccinator programme. Email arrived today letting me know they’re streamlining the process 🙄
At least I know all my training is up to date I guess!

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

So how is everyone getting on with their application to be a #vaccinator? 😬 It’s been a loooooooooong day!
I think I should have thought about it much much earlier...

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

Anyone else seeing more ppl who are disorientated after overdoing the screen time during #lockdown? My mantra for 2021 is #MoveMore
When I’m working at my desk I’ll be setting a timer to make sure I take a screen break every 30 mins and ensuring I walk/run outdoors every day 👍

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

@BarrySeemungal In my falls clinic experience a few years ago now 50% of falls clinic attenders had undiagnosed BPPV. Very few reporting vertigo. Vital to screen IMHO.

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

It’s the final day of the #silentsongs advent calendar in lieu of our #signsofxmas choir this year - I’ve mostly been posting on my other account @Fi_BGB 😉
It’s not too late to catch up or donate to @DeafKidzIntl and my local Deaf Children’s Society 🙌

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

We are definitely going to be seeing these patients. I’m also seeing increasing frequency of Sx prob caused by reduced mobility/activity and increased screen time in lockdown amongst people who have not had acute COVID Sx

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

Just corrected my twitter profile name 👍
Big up to any other non-medical doctors out there who, like me, worked super hard to earn their title

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

Over in my other twitter life I have mainly been getting excited about this today 😀 Please watch with the sound on 👍 These are real humpback calls courtesy of illustrator @hwigray who is also a marine biologist

This is absolute quality 😆

[Andrew Cotter @MrAndrewCotter]

So many weird Christmas perfume ads on TV at the moment.

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

@lisahallett It’s Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakey 😀... ‘Snow is falling...’

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

It’s the first day of our #silentsongs advent calendar - do you know which song it is? Have a go yourself!

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

@sarahlovesears Dehiscence (I’ve got one)

[Dr Fiona Barker @VestibHealth]

A sneak peek before advent. As we can’t have our usual pop up sign language choir, we’re raising money for our charities @DeafKidzIntl and @NDCS_UK with #silentsongs4advent

https://t.co/ghIFCFVMAY

Have a guess what the song is or maybe join in with your own version!
