Today is World Diabetes Day. There are good days and there are bad days, but no matter how hard it gets you are more than your condition and it doesn’t define you.

@andrewpunton @AlexNevard The one you pick up in the last hour that seems straightforward / quick somehow inevitably turns into something really complicated.
I would vote for making sure the ones waiting to be seen have investigations started and are stable

[Beth Griffith @bethangriffith]

A topic close to my heart!

Ask the person living with diabetes manage their own diabetes technology as an inpatient 🙌

Brilliant talk by @minna_eii on Sustainable Prescribing in Acute Medicine at #SAMBelfast

[Nehemiah Edwards @N_J_Edwards]

🚑👀 Be mindful of our patient's hospital-associated deconditioning. #HAD. 🏥 Encourage them to get up, get dressed, and keep moving. 💪👗 Prevent physical and neurological disability and dependency after hospitalization. 🧠🚶‍♂️ #EndPJParalysis. 🛌🚫 Another useful paper found at: 🔗 https://t.co/Qn0EWxZk8u 📖🔍 #SAMBelfast

On the #AMU, we focus on doing the basics well. How do we inspire the next generation? #Flexibility ⚖️ #KISS #KeepItSimpleSilly! 👄💋

NHS carbon emissions. Think also inhalers, anaesthetic gasses #SAMBelfast

[SAM Scotland @weeSAMScotland]

If healthcare was a country, it would be the 5th biggest polluter globally (in terms of CO2) - why the #ECOSAM project is so important #SAMBelfast @acutemedicine

"You can have lactic acidosis just from lying on a bed a shaking your arm" Neurology session #SAMBelfast

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

FND physiotherapy treatment - more effective when deviates attention AWAY from the affected part #SAMBelfast

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

Urinary retention is common in FND

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

#SAMBelfast first session today: Neurology (for neurophobics) - right into the middle with FND and clues to mimcs and chameleons. Prof Alan Carson presenting

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

Very though provoking talk about Frailty SDEC and ties with Hospital at Home services by Dr Barbara Onen. Transport need can be a barrier for SDEC use, and difficult to preassess which patients are suitable. #SAMBelfast

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

#GeriatricGiants deconditioning session - interesting slides on the impact of disease related malnutrition (and sarcopenia). Thinking about "are they eating" (and refeeding if they do) is important #SAMBelfast

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

Interesting talk about how "routine" interventions (cardiac monitoring, IVF, catheter etc) can increase deconditioning

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

#GeriatricGiants about deconditioning in hospital #SAMbelfast

[Eva Palik @palikeva]

Geriatric Giants at #SAMbelfast . @Lewis_Derv about delirium mimics and good points about differentials. I will have to rewatch it...
