Research is a team effort - friends, funding and fora during the fray have resulted in our novel intervention to screen for AF @NIHRSPCR @NIHRcommunity @wellcometrust @jenniaburt @prof_mant@PCU_Cambridge@DPHPC#wellcomephd
SAFER: The complete works https://t.co/wGKHyUJHOa
A third forray into screening is about the capability and strategies for primary care in screening. What can we do and how? Presented @RCGPAC@rcgp#rcgpfa a protocol for a complex mixed studies review for a complex question. @PCU_Cambridge With co authors from @THIS_Institute
And a culmination of our lessons on screening and AF, is our protocol for the largest trial ever of AF screening to finally answer whether it is worthwhile. Presented @RCGPAC@rcgp#rcgpfa@SAFER_Study@PCU_Cambridge
Chat to me via the conference or here if you are interested in our work on primary care vs central management for AF screening - with lessons for all screening programmes. Winner of the research category at RCGP annual conference @RCGPAC@rcgp#rcgpfa@SAFER_Study@PCU_Cambridge
Great discussion with @ProfMartinCowie, @lisneubeck and @prof_mant about AF detection in 2020 - was delighted to be part of it. Register for #HRC2020 (free for HCPs) at https://t.co/IPEsp4JtNx to see online from Sunday 27th Sept! @heartrhythmcong
Primary care research is making its way through the sloppy drenched lands. See my blog piece co published by @NIHRresearch and @PCU_Cambridge https://t.co/dQ34K3OiyI
1.Cardiovascular Disease remains our biggest cause of health inequalities. In February @DrTomFrieden gave a superb presentation on the topic. Each year our primary care professionals and public health professionals save thousands of lives by managing the risk factors. #ZeroCVD
SAVE THE DATE! Our annual event, THIS Space, returns on 25 November 2020 as an entirely online event. Now more than ever, we need to connect and share across our research community, and we hope you’ll join us in November. https://t.co/mSvEtbHMF1
@ProfRobHoward Read your tweet out to my son, also at kitchen table. His comment: ‘well if he does need a new hip, he his not getting it any time soon’.
This is an important thread from @jamessheppard48 with the main results from our OPTIMISE trial showing that short term deprescribing of antihypertensives in a frail population over 80 is possible. More details in JAMA today...
The approach of clustering patients rather than diseases has led to more nuanced appreciation of what are the most important clusters for health services - eg 18 fold increase in mortality in 18-44 year olds with psychoactive substance misuse, alcoholism and depression..
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, primary care research needs you. 🦸🏽🦹♀️🦸🏻♂️🦹🏼🦸🏾🦸🏿♀️🦸🏿♂️
We need 5 mins of your time to fill in this questionnaire, so we can get going: https://t.co/zMda5yzwa6
We're asking about projects & supervisors.
Thanks for your time! 🙏🏽 #DiscoverGP
Our new paper on the impact of NICE guidance on out-of-office BP measurement sneaked out just before Xmas. Bottom line is an increase in ABPM and HBPM without a big drop in incidence of HT or change in CVD events in the 5 years post 2011 guideline: https://t.co/7hKCzRG911
