🔥Have been incensed about something all day…. Women are the majority of medical students in the UK, yet there are still pockets of the medical profession where dinosaurs are alive, well & roam the earth. Turns out my own clinical specialty (ICM) is sadly one such place…. 1/8

The panel discussing the elephant in the room with @drcolinm regarding PA & AAs @ #SOA24 Whilst we may disagree on the best solution Prof Melville does at least open himself up to challenge and listen.

🤔 If you could change one thing to make critical care better, what would it be? Get rid of ward rounds? Get rid of alarms? Go paper free?
It wouldn’t be #SOA24 without The Cauldron. Organised by our Trainee Advisory Group, it’s back for 2024 and we’re asking "If you could change only one thing to make critical care better, what would it be?" Get ready to tell us at ics.ac.uk/soa

Essential reading for anyone that works in intensive care/anaesthetics/ED/PHEM
I went for a long run on a beautiful autumn day. Everything was perfect, the weather was just like today. A few weeks earlier I’d decided to cut my asthma medication in half, and that this would be fine if I did no high intensity exercise.

A stark reminder of the harm of modified release opioids by @nicholasalevy “we need to remove them from our perioperative pathways” I’d also missed the @CPOC_News statement #CCPOM2023 cpoc.org.uk/sites/cpoc/files…
