@pbendoscopist @WorthingHosp Always nice of you to say Jon but we are only trying to do the simple things as well as can be. Nothing too clever! However with high turnover of trainees it is surprisingly difficult to raise awareness even within one organisation let alone nationally - a daily challenge!

Hugely impressive holistic cirrhosis care by @dr_sjt and the team @WorthingHosp - a real exemplar of 21st century liver services

@OTavabie @abdullahaabbasi @pbendoscopist It is only by ‘stepping back’ that we are now able to provide more responsive specialist services. 24/7 inreach, ambulatory assessment, improved clinic capacity. It is not uncommon now for us to have seen and consulted on the emergency floor before the official PTWR has happened.

@abdullahaabbasi @pbendoscopist Completely agree with the sentiment. Just think we need to lead that movement as opposed to sit back and criticise - gastro as a whole keeps stepping back from the front door and I think we all know that a hepatologist there will help improve management of the unwell cirrhotic

👇this. Good cirrhosis care is about nailing the basics and attention to detail. These are the sickest people in most hospitals where margins for error are wafer thin. Make use of all available resources - BASL bundle invaluable for liver docs and non-specialists alike! #NephJC

Calling all ERCPists. Excellent new consultant opportunity @westernsussex. Friendly dynamic department. South Downs or seaside living. Great for family life. Soon to merge with @BSUH_NHS into ‘mega’ trust. If you know anybody of the bile duct persuasion who is looking pls DM.

@mina_el_naguib Long story. Hard to tweet. But essentially INR in cirrhosis is a complex beast. Not a true coagulopathy as unmeasurable procoagulant factors at play as well so no rush to reverse. Also excessive volume expansion hurts portal pressure. At least that’s my understanding.

@drkeithsiau I used to pitch it like that in teaching when first conceived but I have shifted now to “put a RING of care around your liver patient”. Bit cheesy but hopefully more engaging and less bossy!

@NeilRajJ1 @BASLedu @BritSocGastro @BSGTrainees @djosh78 @abhichauhan Had a less pretty version of this on trust intranet for a while and been pushing in teaching sessions but upskilling and ‘teaching’ ever rotating front door docs is a slow process. We’ve just started another local awareness push now so will audit uptake in a few months time.

@dr_sjt @BASLedu @BritSocGastro @BSGTrainees @djosh78 Interested to know the uptake rate in your centre? On auditing is it well adhered to? Amazes me how often the excellent BASL bundle is not used in some hospitals - with juniors never having heard of it! Or it’s lying hidden in a drawer in AMU/CDU somewhere 😡@abhichauhan

Agreed. Simple as in it just involves people and reflective talking. But the subject matter not so simple! Still frequently deceived by changes in trajectory. I am very taken with your model of discussing every index presentation. I think there is great merit to that.

@javaidhj Has been a relatively simple quality improvement intervention that has tangibly improved care. Lots of excellent models around the UK (@adamgordon1978 @GwentLiverUnit #briliverunit #worthing

The dog. The legend. Murphy. 14 today. Depending on which website you read that puts him at somewhere between 75-100 dog years! Our original baby. What a guy. Keep going Murph! 💪 🐕 🥳 🎂

Suppose I have a slightly biased view of all things Brompton - but the @BromptonBicycle is fantastic and just sad I didn’t get one sooner. Recommend ++

@EarthCycleUK no sight nor sound of our delivery today. Been waiting for updates from you but nothing forthcoming. Checking your Facebook feed it seems that communication with customers is not a strong point and that I am not alone. Can you acknowledge and feedback please?
