It’s everywhere now ( in Denmark at least; we’re still catching up in SA). #CGM #T1DM

@nishanne_jacob @HsiaoMarvin This is a tricky issue - but one option night be to have a more generic start to Med school (graduate entry/pre-med) with a “qualifier” built in. Would also assist students themselves who really have no idea what they’re letting themselves in for.

@PeterRaubs @HsiaoMarvin Entry criteria to Med School include Physical Science, Maths and English performance but where is critical thinking or resilience assessed at school to serve as an entry criteria? Such a challenge to find broad criteria that are valid, objective and equitable

Had an interesting discussion with my colleagues today. Sure in 2023, the curriculum should focus on critical thinking and principles. Less facts. Why is India dropping evolution and the periodic table from school science? nature.com/articles/d4158…

@HsiaoMarvin Good idea - I was amazed at how it hallucinates references. And your students are already using it - every single one is.

I have this idea of setting an assignment for trainees that makes them use #ChatGPT to research a virology topic, as an exercise to learn its capabilities and limitations. Good idea or bad idea?

@ygpillay Prioritisation of services remains critical ( and yes - preventative >>> curative care)

@ygpillay Is there data on that? An equally likely scenario ( that has some data in well resourced systems) is that need for specialised care and hospitals increases when primary care services improve.

Strengthening PHC, community based case & ambulatory care will reduce the need for hospitals - need to change the budgeting

@AdeAdamson @ARCS_Atlanta Screening/incidental findings do not equate to better outcomes .

@AdeAdamson @ARCS_Atlanta Same as thyroid cancer:

This simple but powerful figure is what animates so much of my work. The relationship between melanoma incidence and mortality across time. I really want to fully understand this epidemiologic phenomenon! Long way since my start funded by @ARCS_Atlanta

@GSHEndocrine screening for hyperaldosteronism should be based on at least two tests: Intraindividual variability of serum aldosterone and its implication for primary aldosteronism screening academic.oup.com/jcem/advance-a…

Helpful framework for #MedReg doing #ConsultativeMedicine

Chatting to the @PHUDiabetesTeam in charge of the #ClosedLoop patients- part of @NHSEngland real world data evaluation for @NICEComms 20 odd patients- and at nearly a year- an average drop of around 20 mmol/mol... Twenty...!😀 That is...impressive. No? *Cheeky grin* #gbdoc

#WorldDiabetesDay at #GrooteSchuur

#WesternCapeHealth #WoW at #WorldDiabetesDay

This #WorldDiabetesDay, we want to raise awareness of the most common symptoms of #Type1Diabetes - also known as the 4Ts: 🚽 Toilet 💦 Thirsty 💤 Tired ⬇️ Thinner Will you retweet and help us spread the word? 💙 #WDD

STRONG HF changes everything we do after admission for HF. I mean EVERYTHING! Look at how they did it> More not less care. How are we going to do this? #aha22

The world, and healthcare itself, really does require a reset - of priorities and expectations. What do we want, given what we can afford? And what should we stop doing? And we'd better have these conversations every day now or all of us are going to remain very unsatisfied!

OR...is this just as has been predicted for many years now because of an unsustainable trajectory of healthcare spending..driven by the market forces and increasing inequality in the world we live in? oecd.org/health/healthc…
