Methodological considerations when studying ethnic disparities in epidural access
"Ensuring equitable access requires understanding where barriers operate and how epidural timing intersects with ethnicity and outcomes."

Very proud of this article by our team and nationwide collaborators.
Worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use.
This has a big impact on patient safety.

The Safe Anaesthesia Liaison Group recommends standardising waveform capnography as a white solid filled-in graph at the bottom of the monitor display.
Is there compliance with the SALG standard in the UK?

How many capnography variants do you encounter every day?
We show worrying variation across the UK, between and within hospitals, with at least 36 variants in use. This has a big impact on patient safety. We should urgently implement the SALG standard.

We are pleased to announce the topic for our 8th National Audit Project (NAP8) will be complications of regional anaesthesia (peripheral blocks and central neuraxial blockade) and other neurological complications of anaesthesia.

Delighted to see this finally announced
It was, to be frank, always the front runner -
NAP8 - REGIONAL ANAESTHESIA
It will be a brilliant project as it will create the largest ever database of major complications of regional anaesthesia and IMO for the first time enable genuine estimates of the frequency of complications of regional anaesthesia.

Super job today Gareth π
β’ raising important awareness of the unmet needs in IBD
β’ flying the flag for the Edinburgh IBD unit
β’ highlighting your great study with @mathewlyons & the rest of our team
Fantastic effort @mathewlyons!
-Great perseverance,
-Great analysis & writing
-Great story!
Our patients are admitted less for their IBD over the last 10 years
BUT
>50% of our IBD population still hospitalised & significant healthcare use for a minority
Work to do!
5/ Infection rates in hospitalised IBD patients has remained constant over the 10 years, including admissions to ITU or death from infection despite substantial changes immunomodulating therapies.
