Honored and humbled to receive the 2025 Trauma Care Fellowship. @TraumaCareUK

The trouble with lifetime achievement awards? I’m not finished yet! Still plenty of exciting work ahead in injury prevention, teaching and and saving lives with data 👉 https://t.co/1fgNu5tYQw.

It was great to hand over the award of a Trauma Care Fellowship to @RodMack2 Dr Rod Mackenzie @TraumaCareUK conference.
A very well deserved award.

@RupertLowe10 We have a regulatory obligation to ensure that we properly understand our patient’s symptoms and that patients and carers understand our medical advice. Family members can easily misinterpret - when a professional won’t. Mistakes cost lives and much more money than the service.

@alistairsteel @D_Rodders Hope that helps!

(see appendix E - Entry into Subspecialty Training)

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@alistairsteel @D_Rodders Hi, the earliest that PHEM training can commence is after successful completion of the fourth year of specialty training (ST4). Base specialties may have different entry points beyond this in order for PHEM subspecialty training to dovetail most effectively with base training.

Recovering from a fantastic week at the @FPHCEd @ibtphem national course - 6th time for me - with an incredible group of faculty and delegates. Incredibly proud to be a small part of it and see everyone develop - good luck in your posts and stay safe! #learninghasoccured #PHEM

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@alistairsteel It was a regular feature when we used ‘cards’ to record ED notes - with a range of fields / boxes that ought never to be blank, rules about signatures, ink colour etc. It was,m more of a process focused audit tool. Concept remains with clinical focus (10 patient review).

@Junaid_APP @londonsdrcosmo @CarlSmithCoP @ParamedicsUK @RobRiches @sinead_keane Unless the journey is more than the patient can tolerate - which happens in dispersed rural and semi-rural populations. Which is why inclusive trauma systems save more lives than exclusive ones … including in the EoE … https://t.co/pZLSbGedO0

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@alistairsteel @rachelgemma90 Other than completing open fractures, we’ve only had one formal AKA in EoE over many years (2013) and there was time to mobilise surgical support. @LeechCaroline did some thinking on this before!

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@londonsdrcosmo @CarlSmithCoP @ParamedicsUK @RobRiches @sinead_keane Or our experience in EoE

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@londonsdrcosmo @CarlSmithCoP @ParamedicsUK @RobRiches @sinead_keane That’s not what the evidence is.

@CarlSmithCoP @ParamedicsUK @RobRiches @sinead_keane Have two MTCs…. https://t.co/4LEhmLIbvB

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. #RememberanceDay

I am simultaneously impressed (& supportive) of @RCollEM’s commitment to “doing things properly” when it comes to rigorous ACP portfolios & developing a MDT EM workforce, whilst also agreeing with the key arguments made in the angry letter below ⬇️ Anyone else?

[Paul Atkinson @PaulAtkinsonEM]

I’m sorry to have to say this again but the emergency department is not the overflow department. Emergency care services are drowning. Throwing more water on top of them is not helping. We all need to bail out together @CAEP_Docs. https://t.co/KMJgcVNXha

[Rod Mackenzie @RodMack2]

@sillyoldjen I think the system is wrong - and support NHS litigation reform. I also think the conditions which lead to mistakes (crowding, under staffing etc) need to be prevented and managed. https://t.co/1W2jcWbREn
