And that’s a wrap! Stepping up to the microphone @abcmelbourne #TheConversationHour today to discuss ICU survivorship with @HainesKimberley from @western_health and @CritCareUniMelb and @belmac_IC Listening to patient stories & striving to improve our care during & after ICU

If you haven’t been following the UK COVID enquiry you must catch-up. The discourse of embedding research into clinical practice with available research infrastructure is vital. Funding support for #ClinicalTrialNetworks
& #ClinicalResearchNurses is important!

This week Ganesh and I gave evidence about the report we had written for the @covidinquiryuk. Our report can be found at https://t.co/g0viGYE1ee
For those that won't read a >100 page report (you should!), I thought I'd highlight some of our lessons learned/recommendations. 1/6

@NaomiHammond @sepsisAU @anzicsctg @NthSydHealth Fabulous Naomi! Well deserved.

[Dr Kevin Fong @Kevin_Fong]

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

@Caro_Dew_ And the section where he discusses staff placing their own staff into body bags… 😔just profound sadness

[Samantha Bates @iamSam_au]

@LachieMiles Hmmm… they ought to talk to all the research coordinators who are left with ‘project custodianship’ long after the trainee has rotated out. As for: “Ensuring that trainees have a constructive and satisfying research experience is critical”… all I can say is, we try.

Kevin is one of the smartest, most considered people I have ever met.

This is an important #ClinicalResearchNurse workforce survey capturing metrics on employment contracts, line management, workplace environs and much more. Please respond and share accordingly.

[Kelly Beer @KellyBeer9]

Very excited to finally be launching this Australian Clinical Research Nurse/Midwife survey.
Please share so we can reach as many Australian CRN/Ms as possible!

Love this trial. Do you know how happy this will make ICU nurses? No more chasing the >4.5mEq/L target post cardiac surgery. Threshold of >3.6mEq/L is ok for patients, more cost effective and makes nurses happy. Win! Win! Win!

At our annual Victorian Affiliation of Research Nurses #VARN dinner. Can you add to this definition of #ResearchNurse ??

[Samantha Bates @iamSam_au]

@NicStraiton Great article. Why have I commenced my PhD studies through Melbourne Medical school @CritCareUniMelb ? Because multidisciplinary support is what I need. Nurse-led research, by a clinician nurse researcher, outside a nursing faculty. Nurses can study outside their lane.

[Samantha Bates @iamSam_au]

In my backyard at 9:28pm #Melbourne #AuroraAustralis Visible with the naked eye. Just stunning.

[Samantha Bates @iamSam_au]

@Caro_Dew_ @Hayley_Gleeson It’s compelling reading isn’t it? The data stacks up. How do fight the incoming tide?
