As we finish our final @apt_sepsis #MaternalHealthChampions training lead by @PeaceOkwaro, the support from @MinofHealthUG has been excellent, @JoelLwasa & others share insights from both midwifery & O&G, as we seek to reduce #MaternalSepsis with @IDIMakerere @MLW_Programme

Champion training for active prevention and treatment of sepsis program @apt_sepsis. Day 3 lead by Tabitha of our hub team - an exciting day, as our new champions lead sessions and develop skills for supporting their own hospitals to improve care. @IDIMakerere @MinofHealthUG

Phenomenal talk from @DrNeil_C at #ESCAIDE2023 on how was can use climate, geospatial and produce pipeline data to improve foodbourne outbreak detection. Too engaged to take a photo: well worth a watch for all those registered 👏🏻👏🏻

@ani_ruok Most likely, unless you already have a bank payroll number? HR will do it as a batch in Sept. I think if you leave with a bank payroll number and HR knowing you want to remain on it you should be okay.🤞🏻

@EJMMonk Thanks Ed! If a trainee doesn’t mark themselves as a leaver, do you know whether HR automatically does?

#MedTwitter, how do locum doctors (not in training, and not doing GP work) keep their NHS.net email accounts?

Sarah Foulkes, principal epidemiologist of the @UKHSA #SIRENstudy giving a superb talk on the power and utility of SIREN, allowing studies into vaccine effectiveness and impacts of prior infection 👏💪 @victoria_jhall @SMHopkins #eccmid2023

Pleased to start 2023 with a new paper out from the #SIRENstudy! Our frequent testing and efforts to sequence as much as possible have provided valuable intelligence to track emerging variants @SMHopkins @EJMMonk wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29…

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

New pre-print out! We implemented a rapid end-to-end workflow for malaria parasite genomic surveillance in Ghana using Nanopore sequencing @nanopore 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks @HDR_UK for the nomination. Huge team effort with brilliant leadership from @victoria_jhall working with NHS research teams, NHS staff with engagement fora, academic partners and communicating regularly to the public about our science outputs.

Grateful to be able to present our work on the occupational risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 @ESCAIDE, and learn from all the AMAZING Field Epi coming out of Europe! Pleased to see a big push on action not words: 100% agree - looking forward to seeing the next steps! 💪🦠⛔️#SIRENstudy

Setting up a prospective cohort study is ambitious. How do we keep participants engaged? Come find out from Sarah Foulkes at #ESCAIDE2022 how we’ve fared in the #SIRENstudy and what lessons we can share for those running such studies in future.
