Referred a patient with TBI on anticoagulation? Unclear when to restart? Then recruit to the RESTART-tICrH study! Randomising to 1 and 4 weeks will help guide future management on the optimal time point to restart this medication after TBI. For more info restart-trial.org.uk

Addendum to tweet 8 should read: So dropping their pretax income by £24,000 (dropping post tax income by give or take £12k), post tax AA charge decreased by £22.5k. So they are *MASSIVELY* better off by NOT WORKING every other weekend. Let that sink in @wesstreeting

A revolutionary talk from @CJMcHarris giving us a clear insight into the mind of the neurosurgical referral decision with #TBI.

@TSP_Primary Fabulous as always!!

Catherine and Christian have to be incredibly careful when revisiting James' wound site. With precision the expert pair of surgeons work together to prepare the skull for the new ceramic implant #TraumaRoomOne @AlderHey

@EmergMedDr @andrew_lilico @drokane Well, Mr or Miss or Mrs! Hilarious thread 😆

1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists. But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY. I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

@The_SBNS @drtintin99 @pja_hutch Such fantastic news and well deserved Hutch!

We are delighted to inform you that Prof. Peter Hutchinson (Hutch) @pja_hutch has been elected to become the next SBNS President.  He will take up his appointment as President Elect at the AGM during SBNS Meeting in London

@halliday_jane @brain_op How fantastic!!

Lovely article northcarecharity.org/about-us/lates… covering our Berlin Marathon 2023 attempt raising money for the Geoffrey Jefferson Centre. Any donations for this very worthy cause gratefully received!

Thanks Caroline, we have already started using in Cheshire and Merseyside trauma network but planning a further large cohort to increase uptake! @CMMTN_ODN

The RESTART tICrH study will guide when to restart anticoagulants after acute traumatic intracranial haemorrhage, randomising to 1 vs 4 weeks. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #NMTS23

.@CJMcHarris on the Liverpool Head Injury Tomography Score (HITS) - a tool to guide when to refer mild TBI to neurosurgery. Significantly reduces inappropriate referrals without missing major injuries, but needs larger validation. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… #NMTS23

@Myoclonicjerk1 @AnnielondonAA @WaltonCentre @TraumaCareUK @drtintin99 Happy to chat @drtintin99 !

@AnnielondonAA @CJMcHarris @WaltonCentre @TraumaCareUK This is promising! We've been trying to make these referrals more objective in NWL but has been challenging. @drtintin99 what's your feeling about this?

How to free up your busy Neurosurgeons? Liverpool HITS study- reduces unnecessary referrals. Due to be validated in another trauma network but promising results. @CJMcHarris @WaltonCentre #NMTS23 @TraumaCareUK

@AnnielondonAA @WaltonCentre @TraumaCareUK Thank you Anne! It was an awesome event and loved being a part of it!

A fabulous day at the #NMTS2023 Priveleged to be invited and spread the Neurotrauma word! Thanks for inviting me @AnnielondonAA

@UofGDental @UofGlasgow @AileenB59356865 So so sad. Remember him well during my years at medical school. A true warm character and inspirational teacher.

We are all very sad to learn of of the death of Stuart MacDonald, latterly Professor of Clinical & Forensic Anatomy @UofGlasgow & one of our favourite @UofGDental teachers. His lectures were both entertaining & a work of art. He will be sorely missed

@ThePGA @CRAIGLEE337 @AphroditeHills1 @Aphrodite_Golf @PGAScotland Awesome Craig!!

We had a chat with current leader @CRAIGLEE337 after his second round at the #PGAPlayOffs23 and found out how he got on and what the prize would mean to him 🙏🏼 📌 @AphroditeHills1

One of our senior Neurosurgical Registrars has just resigned to do exactly this. Better pay, better work-life balance, working outside of medicine. One less Neurosurgeon. Another huge loss to the NHS.

18/ However much gvmnt try to equate all the pay disputes in the NHS as being equal, they are not. Gvmnt need to act urgently to #FixPay and restore the DDRB to its original principles to ensure we dont return ro this mess again RT if you want @Jeremy_Hunt @SteveBarclay to act
