The trainee who was able to balance Lidocaine, Fupivacaine, Dupivacaine and Avepicaine ampules on their finger tips won the opportunity to feature on his title slide.

Having just returned from the #ISURARAC25 meeting organised by @sinecampbell @KiJinnChin & @PerlasAnahi - I promised I’d record my talk for those who wanted access to it. So here it is! youtu.be/OTXcrwiW5Ck?si… I cover some basic LA pharm, Mixing & LAST. Plus references!

What generation are you? Lost Generation - 1883-1900 Greatest Generation - 1901-1927 Silent Generation - 1928-1945 Baby Boomer - 1946-1964 Generation X - 1965 - 1980 Millennial - 1981-1996 Generation Z - 1997-2012 Generation Alpha - 2013 - 2024 Generation Beta - 2025 - present

I belong to Generation X, the ones born between 1965 and 1980, and I’ve always felt like we were the quiet ones in the background, the ones who had to figure things out on our own. We grew up in a time of transition—between the analog world and the digital age, between the stability of the past and the uncertainty of the future. We were the kids who walked home from school alone, managed our own schedules, and learned early on to be self-sufficient. Our parents were busy, often working hard to keep up with the economic pressures of the time. We didn’t have the luxury of constant supervision, but that taught us independence and responsibility. As adults, we entered the workforce during a time of change. We saw the rise of personal computers, the internet, and the shift from long-term corporate jobs to a more flexible, contract-based economy. We learned to adapt, to be versatile, and to question the status quo. We weren’t interested in climbing the ladder the way our parents did—we wanted balance, autonomy, and meaning in our work. I’ve always valued honesty, practicality, and results. We don’t play games with words or politics. If something needs to be done, we do it. We respect hard work, but we also believe in taking time for ourselves and our families. As a parent, I try to be involved but not overbearing, to guide without controlling. I take pride in being part of a generation that’s been through a lot but still stands strong. We may not have gotten the spotlight, but we built the bridges that connect the past to the future. We are the ones who quietly made it work. Dr. Arshad Afzal Former Faculty Member, Umm Al Qura University, Makkah, KSA

Wow what a win @CPFC Maxi would have loved this ❤️🖤🏆

@FYPFanzine I thought I had no tears left. Then watched the Palace FA cup compilation at the end of the BBC coverage that is available on iplayer now. Blubbering wreck whilst watching it. So proud of the players, staff, manager, owners and above all... the fans.

Good morning!

By the way, we have just won the FA Cup
