Paediatrics trainee working in North London, I love technology and want us to use it to make healthcare better.

@ChrisHopsonNHS @NHSPracHealth @NHS My employer (illegally) questioned the validity of my sick note after my wife was in ITU and our son in NICU. If @NHSPracHealth hadn’t been there to support me I would have been bullied back to work. Employers cannot be trusted with our wellbeing.

An important part of what we do @EvelinaLondon is training future paediatric cardiologists

Cardiology training is 5 years in addition to core paeds, but with excellent #juniordoctors like Dr Ronel Talker, the future of the specialty is bright

I feel this sums up a lot of NHS IT. What do you think UK med Twitter?

Hi @Tesco - we had a great delivery driver today, how can we pass a compliment?

Medicine is full of perfectionists, but unfortunately medicine isn't perfect. Please be kind to yourself.

Video chats are different from our IRL interactions and it’s okay to have a break too. @techreview https://t.co/CnuWVO2CjS

This rare footage of workers at MI6 during WW2 has been hidden for 75 years

But the piece of film was anonymously donated, providing an insight where cameras were banned and everything was top secret

[Hamish Robertson @hamdev]

What happens when you have no clinical background information available for your patient? What if there was a national database for discharge summaries held on the Summary Care Record? Clear, concise and available patient information = safety and efficiency.

You can get better, faster treatment by choosing the NHS service that can best treat your symptoms. This also helps the NHS by reducing the pressure on services like A&E so that they can help those people in most need. More info: https://t.co/UEBRi73WOR

[Hamish Robertson @hamdev]

We don’t really use faxes that regularly and my trust has already banned them, but in broader terms how are we upgrading our clinical communication methods? Email doesn’t always cut it, pagers and bleeps are outdated and expensive. https://t.co/xt1yjFxKAH

Reminds me of similar experiences moving from paperless to electronic health records at Addenbrooke's and at Barnet Hospital. Lots of benefits but some new challenges. Once we're through the transition it will be a great opportunity. https://t.co/uXqXchHbBp
