📝Time for the student poster presentations! 📝The first presentation is looking at post-discharge mortality in children aged 5 and under after pneumonia and/or diarrhoea in lower- & middle-income countries #ReachingTheUnreachable #RMSConf23

⚕️The effects of multi-morbidity include increased mortality rate, increased use of primary & social care and decreases quality of life ⚕️All of these effects are exacerbated by socioeconomic deprivation

@Stewmercer talking about his research on the inverse care law & the Deep End #ReachingTheUnreachable #RMSConf23

💭Another talk looked at outcomes for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease admitted to ICU 💉The talk identified a need for nuanced decision-making regarding treatment escalation for these patients, which should be in conjunction with the MDT, patients & their families

We are now onto the student abstract presentations! 💭Our first talk is about social prescribing, which is about referring patients to a range of local, non-clinical services #ReachingTheUnreachable #RMSConf23
