@doconacycle telling us about the importance of upstream management on AF burden - e.g. sleep apnoea, obesity, alcohol. Important to discuss with all appropriate patients @RoySocMed #EPeeps #cardiotwitter

@Gasman_J @invadingpirate @JoshHalliday @BorisJohnson @MattHancock "PPE". The most ironically named degree ever.
English
@invadingpirate @JoshHalliday Looks like “someone” bought millions of these LFTs (without really understanding their limitations) & is now desperate to find some use for them. Turns out a degree in Classics (@BorisJohnson) or PPE (@MattHancock) aren’t much use when it comes to understanding statistics!
English
Well, we have been banging on about false positives, especially at a time of low prevalence, for about 3 months now. We've not seen a single true positive LFD for a long time. theguardian.com/world/2021/apr…

@sarahhudsonuk The small print here is delusional. 14 days on the job training to learn to "practice safely". Ah yes! Those 14 days of medical school. Funny. It seemed longer.
English
Medicine is already an apprenticeship, underpinned by a solid, broad foundation acquired at medical school, alongside clinical placements.

hope this is some dark satire.
if not, it is utterly stupid

@realDonaldTrump GEORGIA HAS A POPULATION OF 3.7M PEOPLE BUT SOMEHOW HAS 5M VOTES!?!? WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY!?!
English
@Siggers1000 @nigelj08223325 @realDonaldTrump Absolutely. I am really worried that he’s going to win though.
English
@nigelj08223325 @realDonaldTrump He’s bound to... Really important that he loses heavily so he doesn’t get away with it. And hopefully ends up in prison...
English
I'm not sure about any other healthcare sinners out there, but I'm pretty sure my purgatory would be a never ending stream of mandatory training.....

@toates_19 It was great! Seemed hard work for those going the other way though..

@LanceForman @RishiSunak NHS doctors (and probably other staff too - I just don’t have the figures to hand) have already taken over 20% pay cut over the last decade or so. Not for a few months, but for life. With a few exceptions we don’t moan that much. Keep your clap, thanks.
English
So the chancellor @RishiSunak has brought back furloughing which means many in the private sector will only earn 80% of their normal salary.
I call upon the entire public sector to take a 20% pay cut in solidarity for the period of the lockdown.

@manish2107 @AndyThornley Amazing to think that taking money to ask a question was once considered improper. Where is “getting paid to lead a government agency because you’re mates with the PM” on that scale? And that’s before even considering whether she is competent. Spoiler alert: she’s not.
English
@doconacycle @AndyThornley These guys have taken cash for questions to the whole next level haven’t they?
English
Amazing levels of incompetence:
Times Politics@timespolitics
Thousands of potentially infectious people were not contacted by the NHS Covid app, developed under Baroness Dido Harding, because it was set at the wrong sensitivity. “Shockingly low” numbers of users had been sent warnings via the app #Echobox=1604235773" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/s…

@manish2107 @AndyThornley What would the upgrade, be though? I'm not asking for a potted outline of The Peerage (I am sufficiently dull to know that stuff already). It's more of an existential "where does she go from here" type question...
English
@AndyThornley Can she be upgraded from Baroness as a reward for this?

theguardian.com/politics/2020/… I wonder how many of this "vocal minority" are also anti-mask, anti-vax, COVID-denying brexiters? Just a thought.
English
@allisonpearson Errrr.... The 2020 excess attributable to COVID - as I understand it - is an excess in that it is over and above (ie “in excess of”) the usual seasonal flu excess (which isn’t really an excess - because it happens most years).
English
Your daily reminder.
In the winter of 2017/18, there were 50,100 flu deaths. Yes, flu. Excess deaths. No one locked down the country.
English
@conquestfrca You can provide bad medicine (innaccurate diagnoses, ineffective treatments and poor outcomes) really cheaply. To do anything well takes experience and training, which is expensive.
English
@Toaster_Pastry Thank you for this. 2/5 completely new to me. Ah-Um. Wow!
English
@WelshGasDoc I’ve heard a few people say this recently. You’re not alone.

Every government launches an “improve hospital food” project eventually. Most do it after 10 years, not 10 months.
Matt Hancock@MattHancock
We today launched the hospital food review at the Royal Berkshire Hospital with @BorisJohnson & @PrueLeith We're building 40 new hospitals & these hospitals will have first-class catering built into them - making sure hospital food is part of people's recovery

@KaanthanJ @t_hewson @PennineCareNHS I am waiting on the answer here too; we are moving to 24/7 middle grade presence and anything that can improve handover, supervision and continuity is of interest.
