@CPJMEdinburgh Congratulations Conor. Your teams and your patients will be forever grateful for your dedication over those years. The landscape of on call has changed dramatically - a transition from high frequency, dangerously long hours, to v high volume, higher expectation and v pressurised

After almost 38 years of regular “on calls”, I am coming off the on call rota. Today is my last ever official on call.

A powerful synopsis to describe the challenges and pitfalls of taking shortcuts in training and provision of medicine. Thank you @AndrewElder @RCPEdin bmj.com/content/387/bm…

'Over the last 25 years I’ve been in the NHS? It’s been fascinating to watch how, in a drive to create a “level playing field” or hubris of 'why are doctors special'.. We’ve managed to level down the whole system, rather than level up'.. Via @bmj_latest bmj.com/content/385/bm…

#RCPEGM My thoughts on the issues surrounding this bmj.com/content/384/bm…

I know that I ‘go on about it’ but this is a terrific course. Attend for a day, a couple of days or the whole week. Loads of learning for anyone involved in the care of older people @RCPEdinTrainees @EuGMSSociety @GeriSoc @AbdnGeriatrics @YoungGeris @RCPEdin

@edstrivens @JacquiCTClose @anzsgm @DrRobOSullivan Agreed - many congratulations @JacquiCTClose Well deserved recognition for the cumulative impact you have made in improving older people's health outcomes

Many, many congratulations to Prof Jacqui Close AM for being made a Member of the Order of Australia! A very well deserved recognition for all the tremendous work she’s done improving care for older Australians. @JacquiCTClose @anzsgm @DrRobOSullivan

Brilliant interplay of the complexity of pacing in #syncope . We go for rhythm correlation and symptoms but it’s more tricky than this . @rcpsglasgow Syncope everyone’s problem

So delighted to be F2F at @rcpsglasgow for ‘syncope everyone’s problem’ Honoured to have @RoseAnnekenny1 delivering the guest lecture on syncope in the older adult So many gems 💎 of new knowledge.
