Isn't it great to see this @RCPhysicians commitment to SAS physicians' recognition, development, progression and respect.
The first #SASsix Royal Medical College. Comitment in action not just words.

Great to see long term commitment @RCPhysicians.
Respect, fair access to development, recognition and progression.
#SASsix
First (of many) Royal Colleges to walk the talk.
The pace of the walk is increasing, should be increasing.

Why can't you use direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with mechanical valves (MVs)?
DOACs have been one of the most important advances in my career. And yet, the presence of a MV is one of the few contraindications.
The reason highlights the unique nature of thrombus formation in those with a MV and provides insights into the evolution of human hemostasis.

Hospitals know that poor patient flow is caused by beds being too full. They also know that when they make the beds less full, flow improves. But they treat bed fullness as a thing that just 'happens'. We need an approach to flow that addresses the *causes* of bed fullness.
