@brettmontg @AsthmaAustralia @RACGP @asthmacouncilau @tsanz_thoracic @ShivanthanS This is good news for children with asthma.

Just now @Mark_Butler_MP on @2GB873 has announced the PBS restrictions placed on kids' asthma preventers Flixotide Jnr & Axotide Jnr will be reversed back. Thanks for acting swiftly and listening to families and the experts who united on this @GSK_AU @tsanz_thoracic @RACGP

@timsenior In Melbourne for a National Asthma Council meeting and we will be discussing this issue tomorrow. Hard to fathom the reasons for this change.

In their response to our letter neither the study authors or Professor McGorry address our point that the conclusions in the article and interpretation in the editorial are not justified.
Katharine Wallis@WallisKatharine
See our letter to MJA questioning Iofino, Hickie et al’s interpretation of headspace data and McGorry’s editorial promoting his early psychosis model of care for youth MH services despite only 5% of sample having psychosis @nickzwar @PaulGlasziou @RACGPPresident @GPswampwarrior

The challenge is telling a leading epidemiologist from a misleading epidemiologist.
Jean-Frederic Levesque@jfredlevesque
My wife asked me the other day. What is a "leading epidemiologist"? I could not really answer. Why are newspapers using this term? Can't we just have opinions from epidemiologists? Are personal opinions from leading epidemiologists worth more than from normal epidemiologists?
English
Congratulations! A well deserved honour.
Prof. Tammy Hoffmann@Tammy_Hoffmann
I rarely tweet personal things, but today was a very special day for my husband, who many of my followers will know. So incredibly deserved. We’re very proud. Thank you to the @QldGovernor and her wonderful team for enabling this.

Useful skills for GPs at any stage in their career.
