Remember F.A.S.T. for the signs of a stroke.
▶️ Face – has their face fallen on one side?
▶️ Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
▶️ Speech – is it slurred?
▶️ Time – it’s time to call 999
When stroke strikes, remember to act F.A.S.T.

@PeterLewis45@SomersetFT my father had the best possible care from Yeovil District Hospital A&E team & Intensive Care Unit. ICU team have been exemplary. Fingers crossed his mri today is clear and move to the ward just as terrific. Thank you.
Junior doctors have no option left but to strike, as exhausted and burnt out colleagues leave in their droves and patient care suffers.

Excellent training for new junior doctors and new SAS doctors covering most practical aspects of working in ITU. Thanks to Doctor Jeremy Reid who organised it!
The #NHS is facing the worst winter in memory, staff & resources risk being overwhelmed. We urge the public to get their vaccines & booster jabs & to follow the new guidance.

The problem is that curricula are designed committees of consultants who decide their route is what people should go through to make a good specialist. It is so much survivorship bias. We need more SAS doctors, trainees and specialists from abroad with alternative experiences.
Awareness of VITT has existed for just 2-3 months. We have learnt such a lot
Time of presentation is important - cases after A-Zeneca between 5-30 days
-except for occasional PE which can present up to 42 days
-we presume DVT formed between day 5-30 & embolised later
We are on our third iteration on our main site @uclh. Under the leadership of Prof David Walker @PeriopMedUCL.
I think level 1+ is the answer. Surge ITU but protected in normal times. Visit us?
