A crucial element of the management of patients with acute upper GI bleeds is deciding which hospital site they need to be treated at, a factor research often overlooks.

@clairenorms Do you remember what this website was? I need to waste my spare time for the rest of the week

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@AGonzalezCiscar Thanks Andrea - loved our ward rounds

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

CCT day today - grateful to everyone who has supervised and guided me from GI and gen med in South-East Scotland, and at St Mark’s Hospital. There were plenty of bleeders, a little sweat and almost no tears.

@Jonathansegal85 @ParulKalia4 Thanks Jon! Going back to the big smoke in a few weeks, this time a little south of the river

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@ParulKalia4 Aww thank you! It means so much to hear that. What are you doing these days? Any chance you fancy a career in the greatest specialty?

BSG gastroduodenal session at #BSGLIVE24 this morning - 9am, hall 10B. I’ll be presenting an unusual case of gastritis, plus there’s plenty of real-world expert advice on gastritis.

@PaulAshYoung 2019-2020 a.k.a. the one with all the covid re-writes. No pay, no time in lieu, couldn’t even pick the best clinics. At the end of the year my ES wrote on my form “hasn’t done any form of management this year”.

@on_lothianbuses Another day and another miserable commute where the 38 didn’t turn up. It was late on Friday too.

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@on_lothianbuses every weekday morning the 38s to RIE getting to Morningside between 8 and 8:30 are full. Passengers turned away. They also either don’t turn up or are very, very late (todays 8:05 was actually at 8:21). Any chance of a double decker and a reliable timetable?

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@on_lothianbuses Given passengers are being turned away daily, can there be an additional bus? It goes past kings buildings and then on to RIE so a very heavily used route at peak times.

@MStott88 @stevenbollipo @drkeithsiau I appreciate the royal colleges aren’t strictly bound by national borders but a policy by an English college is not necessarily taken up in Scotland.

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@MStott88 @stevenbollipo @drkeithsiau There’s an explanatory booklet sent out, and it’s good practice (should be compulsory really) to check if patient has questions when they arrive in the room. Benefits are cutting time between procedures. Obviously it can have problems.

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@stevenbollipo @drkeithsiau It needs to be said, but what is said has to be accurate. We have postal consent in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the nurses confirm on arrival - I’ve had lots of patients think I’m a med student/v. junior trainee and refuse. If explained by cons that I’m a senior reg patients are happy for me to do it

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@Amy_Armstrong1 @beans2er @MauWgh @WghLothian Yeah I’d be up for that.

[Hannah Walton @hanwal9]

@Amy_Armstrong1 @beans2er @MauWgh @WghLothian Absolutely. Will add in some notes and send it to you

@liambarker When I lived in London I had someone who was Irish ask me where in Ireland I was from 🤦‍♀️
