@acutemedicine is there a date for the winter SAMBA 25 yet?

Myri's first medical conference. so far split attention as lack of nursery rhymes at @RCPEdin

@aimeecharnell @RStewart127 @OrthopaedicOz @OrthopodReg How about the question is competency all that is needed? It's the lowest prerequisite. Medical education and exams have settled on this as the bar but are we making a workforce to fit a service or a service driven workforce? I still believe post grad exams have a place.

@RStewart127 @OrthopaedicOz @OrthopodReg Me feeling is that the issue here is competency & how we define this. Is it exams, time, or WBAs? If we can decide what it is, should any clinician who passes be allowed to do the role? Alternatively, do doctors need those assessments to do the role? Are we bound by tradition?

I'm going to look at this another way. Rather than wondering whether ACPs should be in this role, I wonder what this says for post grad exams. Are membership and fellowship exams truly required to define the competent senior in any/certain specialities?

Dear #bbcnews @BBCScotlandNews you got your headline wrong. Should read "government finally copes with female employees" I can not believe this is a headline. How ridiculous.

As the saying goes, when the sun is setting, leave whatever you are doing & watch it… #wellbeing #ThePhotoHour #Aberdeenshire

@DocWongers For a split second I opened this thread thinking "yes, here is the medtwitter knowledge I need." And now I know, no one knows. #10yearsinthebleepend

I’ve carried a Bleep every working day, 40-48 hours a week for the last 14 years. Can anyone tell me what the two buttons do?

"Seasonal flu jab" or "a little shot for horrors" or "flu is horror-ible" stellar window campaign in Aberdeen #getyourvacine @charlesmichies instagram.com/p/CVVm7d0oxZZ/…

Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." nyti.ms/3oxUgAy

An important point made by @cyclospur - SDEC increasingly seeing patients previously managed by primary care. A new definition is needed - to manage patients who would otherwise have required admission #SAMLondon

@acutemedicine #SAMLondon "empower patients to go beyond their sick role" why it matters to ask what matters to patients.

#SAMLondon @Catatkin led the LARGEST #SAMBA ever from across the UK Huge effort from @acutemedicine teams #DataSavesLives @SAMBA_Acute

@jacobb_91 thank you for an amazing talk at #SAMLondon. Pitch perfect point with cup of tea analogy. I will remember this talk. @switchboardLGBT

Jacob Bayliss challenging us with ‘we have no problem asking us how someone takes their tea - which is different for everyone (there is no ‘one size fits all “good” cup of tea’)… what’s the difference between that and asking someone how they ‘take’ their pronouns? #SAMLondon

@brettgoldstein @AppleTVPlus How to follow episode 5? With this masterpiece. I am in love with the real mental health depiction here that you can collapse to pieces even when "your team is winning." This writing is beautifully human.

Episode 6 of Ted Lasso is out! I had the privilege of writing this one. No spoilers but by the looks of the picture, Beard, Ted, Roy and Nate plan a space mission. @AppleTVPlus #tedlasso

Roy Kent: All of us: #TedLasso

I showed a resident how to diagnose a pneumothoraces She asked 'don't you mean a pneumothorax?' I replied 'it's pleural'

Thanks for organising this forum for ideas exchange @MorayBarber Really refreshing to be positive about the future of Aberdeen. Highlights were hearing @mrJPchristie talk passionately about community regeneration with the @CabrachTrust and on @moule_chris collaborative leadership
