Hospitals save lives — but they’re also huge polluters. I wrote for @BloombergGreen about Dr Forbes McGain, the Melbourne doctor pushing to break medicine’s addiction to single-use plastics & other sources of medical waste. https://t.co/8F95ksvvub

🧵1/9
Could we improve kidney care by rethinking who gets referred to a nephrologist?
Our latest study from the SCREAM cohort suggests: yes — if we base it on predicted risk rather than fixed eGFR/ACR cutoffs.

My favourite thing about #DNT2025 - the people! Loved working with Scotty Crawford and Kylie Martin- passionate, considering every detail, wanting to take our colleagues on a journey and challenge them. @ANZSN is very fortunate to have up and coming leaders like them 🙌🏻

Quality improvement in focus 🔍 :-
🚦moving data reporting away from traffic lights
🌊 responding rather than reacting to variation
🖼️ reframing MnM as a QI opportunity
💫 QI innovation fellowships should become a recognised training pathway

Some important take aways and messages from the advocacy session:-
🐄 what are the sacred cows?
🤝 build relationships early
🔊 get involved before an ask
🎈lift your gaze
👭 engage consumers

#DNT2025

[Adam Steinberg @adsteinberg]

And as he was introduced, one of the sexy men in nephrology, @brendonneuen discussed approaches of embedding kidneys in the mind of funders and research in clinical practice. A consistent message in #DNT2025 has been on what can be achieved when we partner with consumers.
