Ever wondered if POCUS leads to more work for radiology departments? The answer is no!

Read the clear evidence that an internal medicine POCUS service dramatically reduces downstream radiology requests, by @NHSmallwood and colleagues 👇

Latest from me: this is a fragile & fretful moment for people caught up in the Special Educational Heeds system. But if the govt wants a fight, it'll get one

@TaquaDahab That scoreline SHOULD have been an arm in the recovery trial 😆

@NHSmallwood Thanks Nick. We are very lucky to have you at @HHFTnhs too. With a supportive cardiology team, loads of great kit, and an exciting case-mix, this place has everything an ICU POCUS Fellow could ever need. And the applicant doesn’t have to be an anaesthetist either!

[Marcus Peck @ICUltrasonica]

Want to learn #POCUS from scratch? Fancy extending your skillset to include the #wholebody? Or even crack #FUSICHD? Then look no further. @HHFTnhs has one of the best critical care ultrasound training ecosystems in the UK. And we are hiring. https://t.co/xruSiqG8Y2

Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Where else could you get several hours of fascinating CPD covering clinical practice, education and leadership AND a great night out with an ABBA tribute band? Yet more reasons to choose Acute Medicine as a career! #SAMBrighton #Flowchella

[Richie Biggers @BiggersRichie]

Fantastic talk from @LukeFlower1 summarising the findings from a great piece of observational work on echocardiography in shock management in ICU. 54% of scans influencing patient care in some way. More motivation to get the probe on the chest! @FICMNews

I can’t describe how excited I am about our next #POCUS club… Ever wanted to move on from basic echo to haemodynamic assessment but were too afraid to ask? Need to know what is & isn’t OK in the minefield of intermediate echo? Or just want to know what all the fuss is about?

[Luke Flower @LukeFlower1]

Very happy to share our first paper from NEAT-ECHO published in @yourICM.

🏥 178 ICUs & 1015 shocked patients
🫀 54% received an echo
💉 50% of echos altered management
📋 25% followed guidelines
