We cannot have a smart meter fitted. We’ve had several companies out to assess. Reasons are logistics/practical. What are our options?

Dear #MedTwitter can I just mention that copying colleagues into passive aggressive letters that inform patients formal reporting radiologists have identified pathology that wasn’t seen at the time of assessment is not a constructive method of feedback or learning.

“Short sightedness” is bad for all patients. Whether that be with regard to their direct clinical care or to wider issues around workforce planning and doctor retention. Look at the big picture. Always.
Please don’t encourage doctors to strike. Patients will suffer. It’s just wrong.

I haven’t done any cremation forms for quite a while… I thought the individuals didn’t get paid anymore. I certainly don’t get paid as a consultant for any done by my colleagues. What’s the craic in northern? @MADEinHEENE @AIMnortheast
I promised my wife I won’t come on Twitter while we are on holiday (she thinks it makes me too grumpy/agitated) If #MedTwitter could not self destruct for a week that would be good.

I would translate this ⬇️ as College-Speak for “what the hell are Blackpool playing at by advertising an ACP post intended to be Level 4/5” and “no, it was certainly was not our idea”…

Current RCEM guidance states that ACPs may undertake duties up to RCEM Tier 3. Recruitment decisions are made locally. Full staffing guidance here: rcem.ac.uk/wp-content/upload…

The @NHSBT course covering deceased donation is probably one of the best courses I’ve been on and every intensivist should attend. I’ve learnt so much and am much more comfortable about donation in general. @NHSOrganDonor #DDT

Because what I’ve learnt from @juliaisobela is that saying you’re an ally isn’t quite enough. It’s being a visible ally that is important.
