Dear Liz, why do you have someone who admits to being a drug dealer as health secretary? Surely she needs to go too? She has admitted to handing out prescription medication a criminal offence. She is an unqualified buffoon. @trussliz@theresecoffey@metpoliceuk
Thank you @ICNARC for publishing the data on severe covid19 admissions to ICU by vaccination status this summer.
The message could not be clearer. Get vaccinated. The life you save might be your own
One in five of the most critically ill COVID-19 patients in the UK are unvaccinated pregnant women.
After being hospitalised with COVID-19 and facing a potential C-section at 26 weeks, Claire is encouraging other pregnant women to get the #COVIDVaccine. england.nhs.uk/2021/10/nhs-e…

New study - a cloud over tociluzimab?

Study stopped early due to safety concerns.
Personally I think this emphasises the importance of continuing to recruit to #RECOVERY

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"
I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.
Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹
Nice summary of INTACT as always. And the article is correct, TXA given as 2g bolus (or 1 1) is the current practice at @RoyalLondonHosp MTC, for both Code Red (bleeding) and TBI patients.
First session back at underwater hockey and I dropped one of my sticks before even in the water! Great to be back in the pool even if I got cramp in my feet!
With the number of COVID-19 critical care admissions in the UK rising again, clinicians may find our narrative review on 'COVID-19-related organ dysfunction and management strategies on the intensive care unit' of interest

Great to see Grant doing so well and best wishes to him as he recovers. Amazing team effort from everyone @AberdeenICUEdu - nurses, PTs, OTs, dieticians, pharmacists, secretaries, stores, doctors and countless others. Thanks for all the hard work. #ECMObbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-5…
Very interesting looks like children don’t spread or contract Covid at same rate as adults. May be schools could go back to normal? What is more risky thick and wierd kids or Covid?
It's time for another quick update on paediatric #COVID19 evidence!
Most new information is about transmission so we'll focus on that for now. It's pretty interesting!
Lets take a look...
