The 5th floor at work has its own charm, 9th is a dizzying height altogether but was nice to capture the changing sky this morning! It’s definitely a phenomenon to be appreciated 😍 (worth the 0800 start!) @SWBHnhs @HermioneCrump @shaun_thein @naeemkashir195 @eugenecortez

psst... *anyone looking for books? I can sort you out. No questions asked. Hardbacks, paperbacks. I can even get you spiral bound ones (if that's what you're into). All sent out discreetly. Your little reading habit's safe with me. Tweet me. You know you want to*

@doctoralex @UoBMBChB @unibirmingham It just was delayed success. 👊

@UoBMBChB @chrisvthompson @unibirmingham Very kind to me in 03 when I was failing. Happy retirement!

Decades of service to @unibirmingham and a caring , wise approach to Medical Education, we wish Professor Kate Thomas all the very best as she takes her final bow and retires today. Thank you for your dedication. You will be missed.

@UoBMBChB @unibirmingham Thank you Kate. You remain an inspiration

VIVA GLASTONBURY!

@davidnnaumann Wow. This is what the internet is for. However, it seems to be crammed with cat videos.

In summary: Making “However” Great Again: 1. Use the correct grammar! 2. Aggressively delete or change all instances of the word. I’ve learnt this the hard way, and haven’t always got it right. But you can do better! Over and out.

I need to write a thread about the word “however”. This single word is abused so ubiquitously in writing, even by those who should know better (academic writers, teachers, journalists). If you find yourself writing the word “however”, please read this 🧵 🙏🏽

Remembering lovely Vaish today Won’t forget that smile, her brilliance, her kindness & the legacy of her influence & inspiration for all those who had met her Just never forget to #bemorevaish @SWBHnhs @AcutemedSarbc @shaun_thein @EdwardFogden @VaishFamily 💜

Three years on, we remember Vaish—one of the finest Medical Registrars and human beings we’ve known as a team. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication touched everyone at SWBH, Her spirit lives on in our work and our hearts. The world needs more people like Vaish. 💙

@doc_hnaqvi Exactly right. I remember this conversation with my dad. It changed how I communicate profoundly and (I hope) for the better (it was done really rather well btw) @AnnaLock

Very insightful read & for non surgical medics as well I’ve experienced the conversation as a relative of someone being told they have cancer. I will always remember that 💬, the responses from those hearing it in the room & it’s changed my own approach @chrisvthompson
