I spent most of #RCPMed26 dashing between parallel sessions - from TikTok and ChatGPT’s impact on symptom-based disorders, to lessons from RCP invited reviews, to global health at the Hajj.

Thankfully, the catch-up sessions are now on MedPlayer!

Anti-malarials from 1988, from my first overseas trip as a medical student in Thailand with the brilliant Professor Nick White. Those few weeks sparked a lifelong career path!

Never needed the tablets. Kept them ever since.

Sentimental treasure or classic hoarding?

New @UKHSA One Health report highlights the rising threat of vector-borne infections in the UK, including Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. Proud our

Great to join colleagues yesterday for the Brain Infection and Inflammation Group Steering Committee meeting.

Encouraging to see the progress being made across the BIIG research programme.

Looking forward to seeing the impact this work can continue to deliver!

[Prof Tom Solomon CBE @RunningMadProf]

An excellent resource for clinicians looking to build confidence in the diagnosis and management of encephalitis in both adults and children.

Well worth exploring and sharing across your networks.

Key themes:
• AI should support clinical judgement, not replace it
• NHS infrastructure and interoperability remain major barriers
• Trust, governance and training will determine success

[Prof Tom Solomon CBE @RunningMadProf]

“70% of physicians think AI can improve healthcare, but 68% say the NHS still isn’t digitally ready.”

Excellent discussion at the @RCPhysicians #Med26 conference on the AI in the NHS.

“Bad systems digitised are still bad systems.”

Vaccines work - for every generation. As @WHO World Immunization Week ends, we’re reminded they remain one of our strongest public health tools. But progress depends on confidence, access, and continued research.
