The @PERUKItweep paper on UK & Ireland discharging practices for children with wheeze is out!

Not always comfortable reading.

Science of 'discharging the wheezing child' in desperate need of firm evidence as variation abounds

And have protected non-clinical time to develop specific projects and your career.

Only reasons for admission with a lower respiratory tract infection:

i) O2 requirement
ii) Evidence of insufficient hydration as assessed by a senior *failing a fluid trial is not synonymous with dehydration*
iii) Social care concerns

CXR & Antibiotic modality are irrelevant

Doctors don’t get subsidised food; they don’t get free parking; they don’t get free energy or free travel

Tory MPs get the lot- free parking; free travel; free energy; subsidised food & £2,400 pay rises.

Support doctors please. We need them. They are striking to save the NHS.

15 min consultation:
What do paediatricians need to know about child refugee and migrant health needs?

We can all do our bit

One of the saddest lessons of history is this:

If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

The bamboozle has captured
us.

Scary continuing regression of modern times. Painful to have to say it out loud again:
Vaccinate your children - for free & with a very safe vaccine - to protect them (& others) from a disease that kills & injures.
Shout it from the rooftops. #Measles

@marknelsoncomic Just shows you that humour gets you so far in the dating game! Doesn’t help that you look like you have just walked off the set of Kingpin!

When I run the bath, the first thing I do is to put in the plug. Otherwise you just waste a lot of water. #MedTwitter @SteveBarclay

@SteveBarclay Retain is number 1 priority. If you cannot see the catestrophic implications of not addressing this looming NHS crisis then you are not fit for the role you are in.
The NHS is a wonderful organisation that needs to be preserved not neglected.
You can make the difference!
