Well done Michelle, but not just to you but everyone on wards 5x and 5y who deliver such excellent care. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. The cakes are in the post - hopefully won't go off!

Our latest employee of the month iiiisss...

🥂🥂 MICHELLE MULLEN 🥂🥂

Michelle is an amazing asset in keeping the wards 5X and 5Y running smoothly.

"Without her these wards would be lost. We're lucky to have her!"

We are! Thank you Michelle and congrats #HospitAllstar 🌟

Very moving day. A massive loss on so many levels. I will miss the big fella' more than I can say. Conferences will never be the same again.

[The Liver Dude @MichaelHenegha8]

Remembering the late Harry Antoniades Hepatologist & Scientist at St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College London. Gone but not forgotten. @philaberry @basl_events @AASLDtweets @imperialcollege @KingsCollegeNHS @RajivJalan1 @JHepatology

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

@basl_events Looking forward to BASL 2019 in Glasgow. Any recommendations for exceptional speakers following the @AASLDtweets Liver meeting 2018?

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Really important message. We have a strange relationship with alcohol, but it has a huge potential to damage the lives of heavy drinkers and those around them. Lets get the message out!

[Alcohol Change UK @AlcoholChangeUK]

It’s day 1 of Alcohol Awareness Week! Communities across the country are organising events to reduce the harm caused by alcohol. Retweet if you’re taking part! #AlcoholAwarenessWeek #AlcoholChange https://t.co/LEUAAs2H7O

#RemembranceDay2018Moving ceremonies in Lymm, Cheshire today. It's a small village and I couldn't believe how many names were read out of those who'd died in WWI. A whole generation lost. Since then what have we learnt?

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

I don't think it's just radiologists to whom this applies but all doctors and going back to first principles we might paraphrase that each action we do should not "harm" the patient. How often in modern medicine do we attempt to do the wrong thing for the right reasons?

[Paul McCoubrie @PMccoubrie]

Rule 100 / / It’s all about the patient

It isn’t about you, the referrer, the institution or the health system. It never was and never will be. Each and every act of a radiologist should directly benefit the patient. Lose this principle and you lose everything

#RulesofRadiology

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Agree with the above. Early access to diagnostic as well as interventional radiology and also having a steady nerve, might be added to this already complete list.

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Drs Foxton and O'Beirne look like they're having good time. Great memories of Kings college Liver unit when we were all research fellows together. Tough times but good times. Wish I was there.

Is that what you want? What you really really want?

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

As a coffee lover this is great news for me! What about my cardiac arrhythmia?

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Completely agree. I remember being told as a student "listen to your patient, they are telling you the diagnosis." Now I seem to spend time either waiting for the computer systems to log-on or ordering investigations. I am in favour of patients having access to results/notes.

[Audrey Dillon @audsies]

Great piece from @Atul_Gawande as always - https://t.co/TizHWCRpbj Important points: imbalanced computer vs patient time for docs - but key EPR role is for patient and pt access. Hopefully not long for PPM to have patient access?? @CCIOLeedsTHT

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

HCC and cholangiocarcinoma are two overlooked malignancies. Ways to detect tumours at an earlier stage when disease is curable much needed.

[Liver Cancer Connect @LiverCancerConn]

#Liver #cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, claiming 788,000 lives each year. Most cases are discovered too late for a cure—but now a study offers hope of early detection, and targets for new treatments. #livercancer https://t.co/nTaXLcmM5R

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Great meeting at the Royal Liverpool hospital with Guts UK on Monday 5th November. Research in liver and gastroenterology much needed. Very exciting prospects ahead.

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Fantastic achievement. Well done!

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Fantastic review. A must read for all doctors mananging liver disease.

[Matthew Armstrong 💙 @Drfattyliver]

This a great review and must read for any healthcare profession working with patients with significant liver disease. A previously neglected area of research, but gathering much needed pace in cirrhosis @JenLaiLiverDoc @aelsharkawy75 @NIHRBhamBRC

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

@JHepatology Fantastic review and focuses on an under researched area of medicine and not just liver disease.

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

Important work.

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

@AASLDtweets @JAMAOnc Congratulations to the authors! UK HCC and BASL wanted to get funding in the UK for this question, but were denied any research money. Is a prospective study happening any time soon?

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

As seen at BASL 2018 in York with Dr Loes Alferink. Coffee is good for the liver. Just resist the temptation for too much cake! That's probably less good.

[Dr Tim Cross @DrTimCross1]

@edbritton83 Still time for it to go horribly wrong!
