@dynymor Open garmin connect on your phone, click ... , then garmin devices and sync the device (assuming connected via bluetooth)

It's Jan 10th 2025 but my Garmin 530 thinks it's Dec 28th 2024! Anyone out there know how to fix this? 🙏

I saw an app which gave A&E waiting times for different hospitals, which sounded useful. Would it be difficult for all hospitals and GP practices to report their various waiting times on an interactive map?

Hi @RCPhysicians 👋 I'd be very keen to listen to this podcast between then PA President Kate Straughton and @gmcuk Chief executive Charlie Massey about future development of the PA role Unfortunately it appears to have been removed Can you help? gmcuk.wordpress.com/2020/09/17/bra…

An empty factory in Port Talbot could become the site of a new dialysis centre as part of a £70 million investment in South Wales renal services. sbuhb.nhs.wales/news/swansea-b…

Some new research - "What are the factors that determine treatment choices in patients with kidney failure: a retrospective cohort study using data linkage of routinely collected data in Wales" - congratulations @ChessMD - take a look 👀 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38355196/

🧵1/5: Great to see our new paper "Trajectories in chronic disease accrual and mortality across the lifespan in Wales, UK (2005–2019), by area deprivation profile: linked electronic health records cohort study on 965,905 individuals" live @LancetRH_Europe doi.org/10.1016/j.lane…

We are inviting people with kidney disease to share their views on the reasons for declining the opportunity to have a kidney transplant. Please retweet or forward on to anyone who may be suitable. Thank you Get in touch with Emma mmj20cpp@bangor.ac.uk

@martynhutchings @RenalWelsh @DigitalSBUHB @DHCWales wkn.nhs.wales/patients-carer… Have some links that may be helpful.

@ChessMD @RenalWelsh @DigitalSBUHB @DHCWales Thanks for the advice that’s really helpful. It would also be helpful to have information on the mental health impact of kidney failure. The third year of waiting for a transplant seems to have the most impact

Thanks to colleagues in @DigitalSBUHB & @DHCWales for helping the Welsh Kidney Network @RenalWelsh develop a digital care summary for Kidney patients in Wales delivered to the Welsh Clinical Portal. dhcw.nhs.wales/news/latest-ne…

@martynhutchings @RenalWelsh @DigitalSBUHB @DHCWales Hi Martyn. Some of the information is already available for patients in PatientView (and soon patientsknowbest.com). This would included diagnosis, transplant listing status, medications supplied, blood tests & BP/Weight etc. Clinic letters avail. for Swansea pts.

@ChessMD @RenalWelsh @DigitalSBUHB @DHCWales This is a great system, helping us get the best care wherever we are accessing renal support. Will patients have access to the system, maybe through the renal team ?

@matt_knott @DigitalSBUHB Hope your first day went well, we will miss you!

If NHS nursing was a meritocratic system we would surely see far more nurses of Filipino origin in senior roles by now. What happened?

I am completely in favour of compulsory vacations for all NHS staff during the pandemic. If necessary they should be forced to take them.

@HesselingMarkus Good luck for the future Markus, I will miss your contribution to digital in NHS Wales.

Brilliant presentation from Nikki Ellery and team this morning summarising the benefits of our patient portal. Many thanks @RslewisSally and colleagues at CEDAR for undertaking this evaluation. @hamish_laing @sarahwright1111 @DigitalSBUHB @MattSBUHB @ChessMD

Great to see another example today of the digital tools being developed @DigitalSBUHB to support our front line clinicians. The Cancer Treatment Summary electronic form will enable Oncologists to digitally update GPs on patient treatment plans. Piloting soon @SwanseabayNHS

This week the Renal Transformation team @SwanseabayNHS took its in-house electronic patient record it developed in 2016 to yet another renal unit in wales. Welshpool joins the renal units in Swansea, Carmarthen, Withybush, Aberystwyth, Wrexham & Mold in delivering care digitally

Great to see our new paper Protocol for the development of the Wales Multimorbidity e-Cohort (WMC): data sources and methods to construct a population-based research platform to investigate multimorbidity bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/1/e… led by Jane Lyons & great collab team #TeamScience

This week the Renal Transformation team ⁦@SwanseabayNHS⁩ took its in-house electronic patient record to Mold & Wrexham renal units. Adding another 600 dialysis sessions & 1500 drugs a WEEK❗️ to the 1200 sessions & 6000 drugs already digitally managed in Swansea. All 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿next
