27/ The bottom line is that pay has been destroyed in the NHS whether measure of inflation is used. Ministers may gaslight that strikes are causing waiting lists, but they are not. Waiting lists are a #PoliticalCHOICE
RT if you want this/next government to #FixPay #RETENTION
I need a new Robin to my Batman! If you have experience in geriatrics/medicine, and would like to use these skills in major trauma this job is now open. It’s aimed at IMT2+ given that we have acutely unwell patients.

Loads of interest in silver trauma today! Topped off by a very interesting talk on the biomechanics of stairs and how illusions can help older people climb them safely by Dr Timmion Skervin @TraumaCareUK #gunsdontkillolderpeoplestairsdo
Looking forward to seeing old friends and new at the Silver Trauma day on Monday @TraumaCareUk Manchester regional conference!

Listening to @drjtreml reminding us of the importance of the falls history in #traumacare. Without the fall there would be no trauma! @traumacare @elderlytrauma @delirious_dr
Thought provoking talk by @tucker_harriet on the questions of how to triage and who needs MTC care in the older injured population. So much is unknown. Specialist care vs proximity to nearest and dearest. @elderlytrauma
So great to meet my Major Trauma geriatrician colleagues again from all over the UK and Ireland. Awesome work coming out of Bristol on the effects of frailty on MT outcomes and the positive effects of geriatrician review. Wish I was there in person! @elderlytrauma @DrPhilipBraude

Hopefully this sad news is provoking discussions around the country about what we do want at the end of our lives - please tell your nearest and dearest, and better still write it down. As @DrSandyThomson said, what a woman!

As a Geriatrician and a fellow human, what an example of positive ageing & and what a way to go; at home, with family, comfortably, quickly and enjoying life up until your final days.
What a woman.

@gmcuk is proposing that the primary ‘duty’ of a doctor should to ‘Be Kind’.
Sounds nice right? Kind doctors are a good thing.

A powerful new video is challenging men and boys to recognise these types of behaviours and ask themselves #IsThisOK

Consider spinal or neurogenic shock in a hypotensive patient with spinal injury - often ends up being seen by Med Reg and fluids are not the answer. #bgsconf
Very enlightened attitude of spinal surgeon Kevin Tsang - he avoids spinal braces as they lead to muscle wasting. @srftspines #BGSconf
Great talk by Mark Wilson on the head injuries in the elderly - TBI covers range of different brain insults. #BGSconf @elderlytrauma
Plus the need to look carefully ( yet timely) in deciding whether a TBI is devastating - is the damage parenchyma? #bgsconf
The real life dilemma of choosing to prevent stroke or traumatic brain injury in frailer patients #BGSconf
