@harston_newton What super weather!

Just returning from a wonderful morning in Goathland for our moors walk.

Obstetric cardiac arrest Let’s look at the big picture…. So among 355,000 obstetric anaesthetic interventions in a year in UK (delivered to approximately 50% of all births & at all times of day and night almost exclusively in the NHS) Incidence of obstetric cardiac arrest -Epidural for labour 1 in 56,500 - any anaesthesia for LSCS 1 in 8,500 -All epidurals & spinals 1 in 17,000 -all GAs 1 in 1,200 These fall into ‘big data’ They are no substitute for an RCT in assessing safety (except no such RCT exists or is likely to) There will clearly be confounding by intention (the very highest risk cases more likely to have GA) …..but they do provide welcome evidence of the absolute safety of obstetric epidurals& spinals (& possibly relative safety compared to GA…) I think a credit to UK obstetric anaesthesia & wider surgical & midwifery teams. …-publications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/an…

@NonFictioness Only half?

Turned my back on the custard creams for a day and the 15yo ate half the pack. Is nothing sacred?

@GasNovice Fabulous news Chris, congratulations!

I’ve been hiding for the last few months with extreme exam anxiety. I’m delighted to say I’ve passed the final FRCA Viva! I can finally be a present father and husband.

So excited to receive an advance copy of my next book 🌟 Lore of the Stars 🌟 Full of folklore about the stars, moon, sun and cosmos and beautifully illustrated by Hannah Bess Ross. Out in October @QuartoKids

Excited to see Lore of the Wild by one of my favourite people @NonFictioness, in one of my favourite bookshops @shrewbooks, in one of my favourite places @FoweyInfo

#OBAnes future is bright at #OAA23ASM. Many @OAATrainee to present great research at #OAA23ASM to challenge assumptions. No data for feet skin temp changes with CS spinal? There is now! Discover new data and implications presented by Catherine McGlennan at FR Free Paper session

@KatieAndThePigs And my husband to nursery with the son from here apparently

@KatieAndThePigs Twitter is a small world. My SIL was at school with Susan Allan.

@harston_newton Thank you @harston_newton - they had such a great time.

A very big well done to all of Y6 who had a super week away at Boggle Hole! They were great ambassadors for the school: polite, enthusiastic and resilient - even in adverse weather. What an experience! Have a lovely weekend.

@carolineplayle Please send him over to my house next 🥰

@harston_newton What a great find!

Hot chocolate refreshment before the hunt resumes!

@NonFictioness I’m going to miss you too x

My youngest is in year 6 so we're drawing to the end of the primary years. I'm trying to go to every event as these will be my last. Enjoyed a lovely music assembly this morning. I'm going to really miss being part of the village school community 🥲

@JessicaBTIVA @CUH_Theatres Congratulations Jess and good luck for the future! Thanks for all your hard work and for getting our @rosiehospital sustainability project up and running.

Well, yesterday was my last ever shift as a trainee in a fabulous place I've called work- home for a long time. Goodbye @CUH_Theatres, what a fabulous bunch of ODPs, scrub, HCAs + anaes colleagues. Have learnt so much and am so grateful #CCT
