For perspective, our locum reg rates overnight are $220 an hour

[Dr Shivam Sharma @DocShivSharma]

These new extra-contractual rates in @uhbtrust are abysmal.

The average hourly rate for a plumber is £50 per hour.

For an emergency plumber it is £112.50 with a £110 call out fee.

Massive withdrawal of locums is the only answer to this.

@DrBenLovell This is excellent and very much bucks the trend

Realised I hadn’t tweeted (x’d?) in a while, but the Southern hemisphere is distracting

Giving a human factors talk next month at a critical care conference

Hmm... BMJ study found ICU trainees urine was x2 as concentrated as their patients

Even a 1-2Kg loss of body water can reduce analysis/decision making by 15-20%

Drinking regularly helps maintain performance

Zaf is a taxi driver. He’s born and bred Sunderland

He broke down when he described the hate he’d received

This was seconds before racial slurs were thrown, telling him to “go back to his own country”

A short clip. Hard, but important, so please watch

You destroyed a library. It was MORE than a library, it was a food bank, a source of heat for people in the winter, a place for kids from low income families to use the internet, or do their homework. Why destroy something so vital? Yeah you’re so patriotic guys.

Interesting related fact came up in our Trust Trauma Audit today:

In the last 5 years at the Royal London, no patient with traumatic cardiac arrest and thoracotomy who survived prehospital & ED phases of care had chest compressions during resuscitation.

If you remember nothing else about this government’s last 5 years, remember that they broke the rules they made and partied while we were in lockdown.

It has always been one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us.

I’ve spent 6 years at med school, 5 years in general medical training, 2 years in specialist cardiology training and are referred to as “a junior doctor” yet the fact that NHS management thinks a 2 year degree makes a “heart specialist” tells you all you need to know

@ben_hock Did both in FY, burned to a crisp, terrible idea but competition ratios are going to drive the academic arms race

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Among adults in the ICU who had sepsis or septic shock, the use of prolonged β-lactam antibiotic infusions was associated with a reduced risk of 90-day mortality compared with intermittent infusions, finds meta-analysis.
