Again - how dare a government that has cut funding for 16-19 education by 15%, cut youth services by 70%, whacked up student loan repayments, overseen record rises in rents, and cut unemployment/housing benefits say this stuff?

[Richard @rnrees]

@imposhster101 @MrNishKumar Nope, try again - since 2010 when the tories took over, the NHS has had unprecedented cuts in real and absolute terms. The extra nurses and doctors are a myth (more doctors leaving at every stage than ever), fewer nurses being trained, and remember all those “extra hospitals” 🤷

@GreenJournal I’m delighted to have got this published in such a leading journal, honoured that it had such a thought provoking editorial and thrilled to have it out on #medtwitter - let’s have the conversation

[Neurology Journal @GreenJournal]

This article reviews the debate about disclosure of risk of progression to Parkinson disease and related disorders to individuals through the perspectives of the pillars of medical ethics: beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice. https://t.co/3Cdu4bRJmc

Since when did Wayne Rooney a) get that fat, b) be old enough for facial hair, and c) persuade a broadcaster he can string a sentence together???

@djnicholl @BromsLibDems Good luck @djnicholl - we need some integrity back in the halls of power.

@helengrote @Dr_Neuro_Fam @theABN_Info Completely agree. Such a shame it came on the last day of the conference.
I highlighted it in the Q&A on the app and got loads of likes.
@theABN_Info @abnconf and @ABNTrainees - let’s ensure this is standard at all meeting from now on. I’ll be doing my bit for the #bootcamp!

[Richard @rnrees]

Excellent #inclusivity at @abnconf. Accurate live subtitles - this should be routine at all conferences.

[Richard @rnrees]

Excited to be on my way to #Edinburgh for the @theABN_Info #conference and in particular chairing todays #trainee day @ABNTrainees
Looking forward to seeing lots of old friends and making new ones from across British #neurology

@ajlees This was marketed heavily by @supersapiensinc to the endurance sport world. Fortunately the venture died last week as it was clearly a pointless exercise. However, the general public may not be so discerning.

[Richard @rnrees]

Merry Christmas to one and all, but particularly to the amazing team at @StGeorgesTrust #HASU - working round the clock to bring cutting edge #stroke care to SW London.
#NHS #frontline

[Richard @rnrees]

Proud to represent @StGeorgesTrust #MS team presenting two cases of enterovirus #encephalitis in patients treated with #ocrelizumab - rare, but important to carry out ongoing safety surveillance and share. #neurology #Encephalitis2023

[Richard @rnrees]

@UCLPsychiatry - Dr J Rogers with some wonderful #sleuthery trying to unravel the mystery of #encephalitislethargica at the #Encephalitis2023 #historyofmedicine

[Richard @rnrees]

[Richard @rnrees]

Fantastic talk about #socialdeterminantsofhealth and #vaccinehesitancy with #qualitativeresearch in diverse ethnic groups in Liverpool. Religion, culture, health education, IT literacy, all play a role in keep people healthy (or preventing it)

[Richard @rnrees]

#encephalitis2023 - a life as a detective - using #epidemiology to uncover the secrets of new epidemics of #encephalitis - 'expect the unexpected', not all 'encephalitis' is encephalitis, sometimes the answer remains a #mystery. But an #openmind and #inquisitiveness is key

[Richard @rnrees]

and a final tantalising #cliffhanger - might it reduce the number going on to develop #NMDArEncephalitis?? ... results to follow

[Richard @rnrees]

@RunningMadProf - results of the @dexenceph trial of #dexamethasone in #HSVencephalitis 🧠- no difference in primary or any secondary outcome at 6/12. #thesearchcontinues @encephalitis #Encephalitis2023 #evidencebasedmedicine

[Richard @rnrees]

Important to add that although it didn't derive benefit across the cohort, it didn't cause harm

[Richard @rnrees]

🇫🇷 multisite data of #encephalitis - 25% mortality within 2mo regardless of aetiology (40% infectious, 35% unknown, 13% autoimmune). Not Rx acyclovir & #immunocompromise sig ⬆️ risk of death. 32% whole cohort dead at 1y, 60% at home. #encephalitis2023 @encephalitis
