Made some great interventions at work yesterday, keeping a patient out of DKA, resolving some hypos, spotting 50units of Humalog that should have been a mix. Followed by a great workout today and my TIR is up 20%. More days like this please 👌🏻

@helloimnicholas I’ve wasted so long just getting kicked out after waiting like 10+ minutes

[Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust @HullHospitals]

We unveiled our new #juniordoctors mess at Hull Royal Infirmary today, updated to provide comfortable modern surroundings for doctors in training to rest and relax. As well as seating, dining and kitchen areas, there are also 4 sleeping pods for those on-call/on shifts @PurvaDr

[Matthew Heppel @MatthewHeppel]

@abi_hallum This looks like a brilliant project! Would be interested to see that data for Trusts within our own ICB. Did you find any barriers to obtaining data from neighbouring organisations?

[Matthew Heppel @MatthewHeppel]

@JWells___ Thanks! Got such a buzz after. Although maybe that was the celebratory wine 😂

[Matthew Heppel @MatthewHeppel]

@saminaa1i Thanks! I’m dead happy with it (and on little to no training too!) - DUKPC 5k was my only practice haha
