New open-access paper from @EAAARAID
What is the value of HEMS?
Not just the intervention. Not just the aircraft. Not just speed. This study asks crews what HEMS actually adds at the scene.

“We definitely don’t have a drinking problem” 😂

My first professional job had lots of client lunches etc with alcohol. The unofficial code was (in pints equiv):
1 pint = back to work as normal
2 pints = get on with admin, reading, drafting
3 pints = read the paper, basic personal admin
4 pints = go home, catch up tomorrow
You never work *drunk*, but there's often stuff you can get done, even if it's just prepping stuff, printing, pruning spam emails, typing up some notes. I reckon 'walk through the door the whip is pointing you at' is not deeply challenging as intellectual tasks go.
Key point is that you have to catch up - the workload doesn't go away, so you just have to work harder and longer the next day. In some jobs that's a viable trade you can make, in others, it isn't. If you want that flexibility, get a job where it is.

As you say I'm not sure that really matters if scope isn't contained in some way. Why would specialist training or certification make any difference if trusts can do what they want? If all activity can be either reassigned or delegated, then nothing means anything.

Initial outcome measures in anaesthetics are scarily binary, but what process measures matter most?
Paper charts were an inaccurate data hell hole, so❓were hard to answer
With electronic records & a few prompts, what should we now be asking?
It’s Intra-op BP control for me…

Our grandson Alfie's friend moved to Miami last year. Surgeon. Was making £40,000 at the NHS. Now he makes $350,000. Left his London flatshare for a four-bed with working hot water. This country gave him everything. All he had to do was stay and fund our pensions. Ungrateful.🇬🇧

Stop press: sterile gowns are no longer mandatory for spinal anaesthesia.
I’m so proud to have been part of this process trying to simplify our practice, making us more efficient, more sustainable without increasing risk to our patients.

There’s no strikes in Scotland
"We previously had decent progression, and we didn’t have a jobs crisis, and doctors were valued as they were back in 2008. That is not some fantasy standard that has never existed" - @fletchjack

This editorial from @bmj_latest Ediotr @KamranAbbasi pulls absolutely zero punches.
"Rhetoric around reducing reliance on resident doctors only serves to create greater discord..
And is nonsense derived from people in senior NHS positions being brainwashed by the ideas of management consultants and techno-fantasists"
Hopefully clinicians within @NHSEngland read this- and ask themselves how useful their silence on these issues are.
And how they plan to 'turn the #NHS around without support of the medical fraternity'

On my last working day it seems that life comes full circle.
40 years ago I sat next to this grandfather clock waiting to be interviewed in the Board Room for my first job.
Today I pass the same clock on my last day in the NHS, stop and reflect.

The problem with this logic is…
There was more contact here than the Maguire one. So which decision was wrong?
#BOUMUN – 67’
The referee’s call of no penalty for a challenge by Truffert was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed the contact was not sufficient for a foul.

Agree, it’s a completely nonsensical debate, a diagnostic tool doesn’t inherently treat anything. It’s the wizard not the wand. The only question one should have about a diagnostic tool is its accuracy.
