@daemonsmatt Literally only still on here for your updates - knew it was worth waiting! 🙌

@ClareWarrell @anna_checkley @DrLaura_Nabarro @Tropdoc @drclarevh @geraldineaohara @travellingmags What's the collective noun for ID doctors called Clare??

Thanks Neil - this was a HUGE team effort- special thanks to Clare Thakker and @anna_checkley, @DrLaura_Nabarro @Tropdoc @drclarevh @drcleong @geraldineaohara @travellingmags and you, to name some of the eosinophiles involved…🪱 🍄 🔬 #IDtwitter

OK med twitter, what have been the most significant changes to best practice in general medicine from the last 5 years? For a thing... @jfdwolff @colquhom @dr_shai @DrSarahJDenny @DrOKaneAgain @pijush357ray @mattcox7003 @Priyanka_Lak @mindthebleep @bethangriffith @TaquaDahab

@TAhillan /if you fancy East of England, we're lovely too!!

@TAhillan Not sure where you're based - it was a while ago now, but Northwick Park has a fab ID department and was an amazing place to do (what was then) CMT

#IDtwitter #MedTwitter (UK) hoping you can advise on IMT and beyond - choice is either a long commute (1hr+) for an ID job or a local hospital without an ID job. How much of an advantage is doing an ID job during IMT for reg applications later on (ID/GIM)? Thanks!

@TAhillan ...involved in relevant audit/QI/research, help with ST3 interview prep, info about conferences etc.

@TAhillan Not a massive advantage I don't think. You need to demonstrate commitment to specialty but lots of ways to do that without an ID job. It would definitely be useful to have at least one job in a hospital with an ID department so you can make contacts - useful for getting 1/2

@TAhillan Don't think it's a massive advantage. You need to be able to demonstrate commitment to specialty but lots of ways to do that. It definitely is beneficial to spend some time in a hospital with an ID department so you can make contacts for things like audits/research to get 1/2

@tb_doc @DrBenLovell Yes I do this!! Because some things actually do need chasing...

@DrBenLovell I try to explain the difference between “Chs” and “Awt” to my trainees. I think they think I’m just a pedantic old git, which is probably what I would have thought of a Consultant trying to explain that to me when I was a PRHO/SHO 👴🏻

Remember when you were a newly qualified doctor and you were told to ‘chase blood results’ and you thought that meant to had to call someone in results and chivvy them along somehow, but it just meant that you had to stand by and keep waiting for them Or was that just me

@AXS_UK hi, can you confirm whether the 'lead booker' (for Taylor Swift VIP tickets) is the name on the account or the name of the cardholder?

Dear 🇬🇧, A vote for the @Conservatives is a vote to kill the NHS. After 13 years of running the NHS into the ground, they have sacrificed your public health for their private wealth for far too long. If you value your family's safety, never vote for them ever again. #SOSNHS

@merryn_netting @VenterCarina @AllergyKidsDoc @LondonAllergy @ProfGRoberts Many thanks all!! 🙏

@VenterCarina @AllergyKidsDoc @LondonAllergy @drcleong @ProfGRoberts I agree

@LondonAllergy a question from a medic mums group if that's OK! For those of us who don't eat whitefish/shellfish, is it reasonable to just not introduce them when weaning? Or are we significantly increasing allergy risk by avoiding? Everyone is very on it with peanuts/egg 😂

The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane. The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects. RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes now!

Very disappointed that I am being told @PearsonVUE cannot accommodate for me to express milk for my 12 week old when sitting the #ESEGH. Delaying exam by an 1hr isn't really good enough (1/2)

the advice to not announce a pregnancy until 12 weeks+ is insidious. pregnant ppl need accommodation in those early weeks, because of debilitating nausea & because they might have a miscarriage. this rule perpetuates the idea that pregnancy only counts if it results in a child.

Nurses have had a real-terms pay cut for >10 years. The work they do is foundational to society & they should get a bigger pay rise than what they are asking for & I hope they get it #NHS

@referringcrap @hemsbagcarrier @nick_wroe @Pipes_n_pumps @EastAngliAirAmb @EMDocJB @DrPaulRees @phemDM @emccdoc @CQCProf Where do you work?

@drcleong @hemsbagcarrier @nick_wroe @Pipes_n_pumps @EastAngliAirAmb @EMDocJB @DrPaulRees @phemDM @emccdoc @CQCProf Yes

Proud to ‘earn’ my #SPEARHEMS #SPEAR badge at @EastAngliAirAmb as part of the faculty for the Specialist Percutaneous Emergency Aortic Resuscitation course. An incredible vision, now a reality to push the boundaries in OHCA resuscitation! @EMDocJB @DrPaulRees @phemDM @emccdoc

@referringcrap @hemsbagcarrier @nick_wroe @Pipes_n_pumps @EastAngliAirAmb @EMDocJB @DrPaulRees @phemDM @emccdoc @CQCProf Very much don't know what REBOA is. Can I just clarify, your profile says ID doc - is that infectious diseases??

@drcleong @hemsbagcarrier @nick_wroe @Pipes_n_pumps @EastAngliAirAmb @EMDocJB @DrPaulRees @phemDM @emccdoc @CQCProf Hi Clare…now you’re here and we’ve cleared that up, do you know of any evidence for REBOA in atraumatic OOHCA?? No one can give any! 🤷🏻‍♀️
