Whole blood in trauma has generated enormous interest. Today, @SWiFT_trial in @NEJM provides the clearest randomised evidence so far on whether prehospital whole blood improves outcomes in life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: tinyurl.com/SWiFTNEJM

Fragility Fracture Network (FFN)
A major UK study has revealed that the financial burden of hip fractures extends beyond hospital walls, with social care costs often matching or exceeding medical treatment.

@AllisonPearson I envy the courage of someone who can broadcast a post to 240,000 followers without pausing to check their facts first. There are lots of problems with the NHS but this post conflates hip fracture (time to operation measured in hours/days) with elective hip replacement (months).

My mum broke hip in Australia. Operation in 12 hours. Home in a week. 3 Hospital at Home staff - doctor, nurse, physio on Day 1. If she’d been in Wales: 17 hour wait for ambulance, months for hip. Countries with insurance-based systems work much better than shockingly bad NHS!

The cat’s out of the bag! Farage's Tory turncoats would replace our NHS with an insurance system. We can't let Reform UK anywhere near it. Labour built the NHS. It’s now on the road to recovery. With Labour’s NHS, whenever you’re ill, you’ll never have to worry about the bill!

You get asked to do a therapeutic pleural tap for this patient. This is not that difficult but still very important to recognise.

Great to see @xlgriffin deliver his inaugural lecture at Queen Mary's, London — five years into his Prof job - never too late! Great to see the difference he’s made (and continues to make) for patients worldwide.  @BoneAndJointHealth@QMUL@NHSBartsHealth@BritOrthopaedic

[1/16] Deeply flawed and completely misleading modelling from Medifintech’s own @gdcuk Graham Crossley at @Quilter. Here's why the £125k pension headline is erroneous, misleading, and deeply flawed 👇

@KeepGoinEoin I don't recognise some of the descriptions of EM on social media from any of the EDs I have worked in. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Should we pause anti-coagulation to reduce the risk of delayed intracranial haemorrhage in anti-coagulated patients with head injury after a normal CT head? 'Probably not' according to data presented by Dr Patrick Oliver at #EUSEM2025 on behalf of @EMROxResearch.

The CRAFFT study is in final analysis… soon we’ll have the answer we’ve all been waiting for: surgical reduction vs casting in children’s distal radius fractures. 🦴 Results in months! 👉 CRAFFTstudy.org @PERUKItweep @BSCOS_UK

Regional anaesthesia for hip fracture "Ultimately, the aim should not be to chase the ‘perfect’ block, but to find a patient-centred, pragmatic approach that delivers timely and lasting analgesia, minimises harm and can be scaled up for delivery by generalist clinicians in the acute setting." @126liam @TraumaDataDoc #anaesthesia #pain #regionalanaesthesia #regionalanesthesia #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.1…
