Totally overwhelmed by my send-off from @GRI_ED @NHSGGC and @GGCREALMED today. Thank you all so much. For everything. Now time to put family first:

Introducing one of our clinical leads for Realistic Medicine in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Malcolm Watson. Bio: ▶️MB ChB, Bsc(Hons), MRCP, FRCA, PhD ▶️Consultant Anaesthetist based at QEUH, Glasgow. ▶️Realistic Medicine lead GGC for secondary care.

Wish us luck tonight-our @NavigatorsScot team are in the final #scothealthawards in the category of tackling #inequalities. Look out for some photos later

An interesting review in the @RCPEdin journal on Treatment Escalation Plans. What are they? Who benefits from having one? Spoiler: they’re a good idea for all of us, but even more so for frail older people. #TEP #RealisticMedicine journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Day 3: introducing the principles of #RealisticMedicine. Shared Decision Making centres on involving and empowering people to make informed choices about their treatment and care. @DrGregorSmith @NHS_Education

@eoghan_colgan @GGCREALMED @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Thanks Eoghan! The honour and pleasure were mine Eoghan. Your contribution to @GRI_ED @StMungosED was IMMENSE and I’m so glad my attempts to control your passion and enthusiasm failed! It was you that made it happen ❤️

@GGCREALMED @_AJIreland @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Was an honour and a pleasure to work alongside you. Thank you for all the help, support, encouragement, opportunity, inspiration, and a lot more besides. Wishing you a wonderful retirement!!!

VERY BEST WISHES to our founder member of @GGCREALMED Team as he stretches his legs into retirement. @_AJIreland has been incredibly successful in building a comprehensive @RealisticMed catalogue @NHSGGC . We are very sad to see you put down your stethoscope. Thank you so much.

@EamonnBrankin @GGCREALMED @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Thanks Eamonn. You were the student who knew more than your teacher! Happy days! Cheers 🍻

@neilspenceley @GGCREALMED @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Thanks Neil! That’s a great thought to hold. He knew a thing or two, our pal Marcus!

@GGCREALMED @_AJIreland @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Good luck with the next act...

@GriOrtho @GGCREALMED @RealisticMed @NHSGGC @LechRymaszewski Thank you! Our collaboration with you and @LechRymaszewski @GRI_ED was key to my @RealisticMed @GGCREALMED journey: the realisation that people with broken bones are not patients. They’re people inconvenienced by broken bones. This is a remote conversation that really works

@GGCREALMED @_AJIreland @RealisticMed @NHSGGC Good luck for your retirement. Along with @LechRymaszewski you were an instrumental part of setting up the Virtual Fracture Clinic system, which has gone onto become the de-facto standard for outpatient management of orthopaedic trauma in the UK.

@JBrittliff @GRI_ED So real I thought the heart might start beating! To be fair a heart transplant is one of the few things that haven’t been done in @GRI_ED. And my heart will always be there❤️

@_AJIreland @GRI_ED Only one way to decorate a cake for a retiring emergency medicine legend
