Great to see the rollout of the MMRV vaccine being explained so clearly here. A combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella is a really positive step for routine childhood immunisation.

Vaccines have been saving lives for over 200 years - but did you know the very first vaccine was developed in the UK?✨
In the 1790s, Edward Jenner used the relatively mild cowpox virus to build immunity against deadly smallpox, laying the foundation for modern vaccination.
ALT Did you know? The first successful vaccine was pioneered in England 230 years ago. It protected against smallpox, a disease that has since been wiped out due to vaccination.

I spent most of #RCPMed26 dashing between parallel sessions - from TikTok and ChatGPT’s impact on symptom-based disorders, to lessons from RCP invited reviews, to global health at the Hajj.
Thankfully, the catch-up sessions are now on MedPlayer!

Anti-malarials from 1988, from my first overseas trip as a medical student in Thailand with the brilliant Professor Nick White. Those few weeks sparked a lifelong career path!
Never needed the tablets. Kept them ever since.
Sentimental treasure or classic hoarding?

An excellent resource for clinicians looking to build confidence in the diagnosis and management of encephalitis in both adults and children.
Well worth exploring and sharing across your networks.

“70% of physicians think AI can improve healthcare, but 68% say the NHS still isn’t digitally ready.”
Excellent discussion at the @RCPhysicians #Med26 conference on the AI in the NHS.
“Bad systems digitised are still bad systems.”

Key themes:
• AI should support clinical judgement, not replace it
• NHS infrastructure and interoperability remain major barriers
• Trust, governance and training will determine success
