Attacks on health care are becoming the “new normal” of conflict.       This year alone, @WHO has verified more than 1200 attacks in Afghanistan, Gaza, Haiti, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine, and elsewhere.    These attacks kill and maim.

Here is a flyer for the workshop on Military Healthcare Ethics at the ICMM World Congress of Military Medicine. I hope some of my contacts who are in Brisbane might wish to join us.

A thought about how to approach ethical challenges for military healthcare practitioners; we hope our open access framework provides a practical handrail. @KCLSecurity @davidwhetham @KCLMilEthics doi.org/10.1093/milmed…

Pleased to announce the second edition of the free KCL Military Healthcare Ethics Apps is now available to download! Now covering health policy, garrison healthcare, nursing and Role 4.

Maybe we should spend more time understanding history to determine a future trajectory for military medicine? bmjleader.bmj.com/content/early/…

@NavyMedicine @MedicinaMilitar A very exciting and interesting development in maritime military medicine

Welcome to the FLEET! On Jan 12, the Navy announced USNS Cody (EPF-14) had been delivered. This is the first ‘Flight II’ Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) ship that features enhanced medical facilities capabilities that will provide critical combat care.

@FouadFouad61 @SullivanProf @cspramesh @Nature And why is it even necessary to treat mild disease? Surely our efforts should be focused on treating severe disease and it’s complications.

@SullivanProf @cspramesh @Nature Really insane

New level of insanity for the definition of ‘hope’… 1.5days…. and we wonder why hyperbole is distorting biopharmaceutical policy. And this is from Nature! @cspramesh @Nature

Great collection of essays on military medical history curated by Dr David Vassallo in Topics in the History of Medicine - including a couple of mine. bshm.org.uk/thom/v3/ @KCLSecurity

2023 was the 70th anniversary of signing the armistice for the Korean War in 1953. Proud to have researched the lessons to be learned from this war: medhist.or.kr/m/journal/view… Part of a UK/Korean collaboration on the medical history of the war. medhist.or.kr/m/index.php @KCLSecurity

I am looking forward to speaking at the upcoming event, ‘Exploring diverse narratives’ at the Royal Society of Medicine. #RSM. Join me Wednesday 17 January 2024 to learn all the the fascinating world and history of medical and surgical developments: rsm.ac.uk/events/history…

@22Med_Regt Definitely a good thing to have an explanation for all of the elements of the new unit badge. Maybe the blue background and the longitude/latitude lines on the globe could be added to the description?

Key reference is the unit history and can be found at the link below: friendsofmillbank.org/unit-histories/ 5/5 CO

What’s in a Badge? This is a comparison between the 22 Field Hospital and the 22 Multi-Role Medical Regiment unit logos. This short thread looks at the component parts of the crest and what they mean! 1/5

Understanding history is important to interpreting the present and forecasting the future. Is there much new in civil-military relations? - Malaya, Borneo, Indochina, Korea, Balkans, 21st Century @KCLSecurity @CHRGatKCL

@KingsSSPP @KCLSecurity @warstudies It was a privilege to have been nominated for this award.

First up are Profs David Whetham & @MartinBricknell appearing via video as currently teaching @DSDKings & @KCLSecurity @warstudies . They outlined their work on using playing cards (incl digital app version) to enhance ethics education for the military. #SSPPIMPACT23

A great week teaching and learning at the Chief Medical Officers Conference at UN HQ. Running a global health support operation for nearly 100k personnel in some of the most risky parts of the world is challenging. @KCLSecurity @CHRGatKCL
