@afg_asap It always make me sad when I hear stories like this. One of the joys of being a consultant is teaching medical students and junior doctors.

@TheLastLeg BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year??

@Doti1208 @ncurzen Sounds like a plan!

A logical care pathway is emerging?

@TheLastLeg Huw Williams of Beautifully Brutal running community. Despite his own cancer battle he’s had folk all over the UK escaping Carol Baskin, sending ET home, doing the Proclaimers 500miles... The guy is a legend in an orange boiler suit. @BeautifullyBru6 #LastLegLockdownAwards

@nolanjimradial You can never have too many trainers

@Runningduck5 Way too many trainers

Awoke to trainer audit. It’s always hard to say good bye after all the hard miles they have done.

@BSHNurseForum @Markgreen433 @rosetintedlass @WelshHFNF @IAHFNurses @ScottishHFNF @DelythRucarean @louisec_heart @markgreen433 Happy to chat anytime. It was great to share details of our ambulatory service with you all, and recognise the hard work done by the team.

@Markgreen433 @rosetintedlass @WelshHFNF @IAHFNurses @ScottishHFNF @DelythRucarean @louisec_heart @Runningduck5 you have a growing fan club

Thank you all for your participation so far. Here is question 3 .... #BSHnursechat @WelshHFNF @IAHFNurses @ScottishHFNF

@CarysBarton @doc_ccc Always look at images, never believe a reporter

@doc_ccc Can’t wait to see this. Would also be good to see who is HF cardiologist and who is not.

Poll for Cardiologists - how often (truthfully) do you look at at echo images yourself, as opposed to just reading the report? #cardiotwitter #echofirst

Interested to know what PPE everyone is using to do standard transthoracic echo in pts Covid positive or suspected

Who is on the BBC Question Time panel tonight? theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/wh…

@Doti1208 Let’s get you all on the course.

@mscheartfailure @KeeleIAU @UHNM_NHS @wmahsn @mpftnhs Really looking forward to meeting all the delegates in 2 weeks and starting off the module

@mscheartfailure Really excited to get going, thank you to everyone involved for all your hard work getting this up and running

@julesnorton @davehartin @UHNM_NHS @Doti1208 Often the best people at taking on these challenging conversations are the heart failure nurses. The nursing teams do much of the care and often the first to recognise when patients are entering the more palliative phase of there disease.

@davehartin Absolutely agree, Surely a conversation in a clinic with someone who has mode information than I is better than a conversation in ED heart failure seem to have this right and talk about it early even though they may have years left @UHNM_NHS @Doti1208

I treat patients with 'terminal' disease who attend my ED. I'm frequently the first clinician to have a conversation with them and/or their family to state that they are actively dying or are in the last stages of life. I'm OK with doing this - but surely there's a better way.

@Doti1208 @julesnorton @davehartin @UHNM_NHS Too often in heart failure patients clinicians shy away from the difficult conversations meaning that plans are not in place and we have crisis management with patients inappropriately admitted to A&E. We all need to work together to improve care and improve EOL planning.

@TracyBullock12 @uhnm It was our pleasure to show you around and introduce you to the team.

I enjoyed meeting the @uhnm heart failure team this week, at County and at Stoke. I felt very proud walking out of the clinic today with Dr Simon Duckett, hearing a patient and relative talk about how lovely the staff were and how well they made her feel. What it is all about

@CarysBarton Thank you, eventually taken the plunge😬
