Hundreds of UK final year medical students have been told by their foundation schools that they could only get three weeks notice of what hospital and city they will start working in.....🧵

More claims being made for cold water immersion on local radio. Note, the definitive science hasn't been done, the evidence is anecdotal and it is potentially dangerous. By all means do it, but understand the risks & benefits & proceed with caution. bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/23/…

Hey medical students! 🩺 Exciting news - we've teamed up with @the_mdu for a free webinar on 'The Medical Student and The Self' led by Dr. Michael Harding (retired GP) and his grandson Leo Datnow (fourth-year medical student). Join us to explore discussions on holism, embracing vulnerability as a medic, and understanding your capabilities and limitations. 🗓️Save the date: Thursday, 28th March, from 12:30-1:30 PM on Zoom. See you there! Sign up here: tinyurl.com/4c2kd88h💙 #medstudentlife #webinar #selfcareinmedicine #holism #embracingvulnerability #thereisnohealthcarewithoutselfcare







Shame on you @NICEComms. Agreeing that healthcare professionals can offer pseudoscientific pain relief to women in labour is nothing short of a scandal. Shame on you. New NICE intrapartum guidelines nice.org.uk/guidance/ng235 1/




Up in Glasgow this week for the #RCEMasc @RCollEM, come and check out my stall while you're here and learn more about cold water immersion, rescue technique and communicating with the drowning patient... here's my work for anyone that can't make it!
