The three most important words in medicine...



Really enjoyed discussing how we can use role models to combat the decline in medical student empathy. Thanks to Y3 @LeMedSchool for making a commitment to ID positive role models in clinical practice. @Empathy_Centre #empathy #MedEd #safari





The key here is effective diagnostics and targeted treatment. That’s what keeps a huge number of patients in hospital beyond the issue of community support services. Combo of an astute diagnostician and the supportive technology and allows rapid delivery of therapies @ home.

Careers talk - A special thank you to Dr. Alastair Sandilands, a Consultant Cardiac Electrophysiologist. We learnt some fascinating facts about heart surgery and the procedures to repair and maintain the human heart. @satrust_ @meltontimes




A 31-year-old man p/w a headache that is throbbing and affecting the left-side of his head along with nausea and vomiting. Prior to symptom onset, he saw a bright light that progressively expanded, making it difficult for him to see. What is the likely diagnosis? #medEd

Did you know you can harness every clinical case in groupwork to deliberately practice CHDD #clinicalreasoning concepts? Exhibit A: 🔍 What semantic qualifiers can you identify or generate from this description? 🔍 How do they help you prioritise your differential diagnosis?

A 36-year-old man p/w recurrent bouts of left-sided severe lancinating periorbital pain, occurring daily for the past several weeks. During his episodes, he constantly tears, and has a “runny nose.” Exam w/ mitosis, ptosis, & conjunctival injection. What is the likely diagnosis?
