@DrBenLovell Scratch test for organomegaly

Today on the ward round at a patient’s bedside I did something that made the FY1 say ‘that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen’ What do you think it was…?

Behind every #Covid19 test there is a biomedical scientist. We want to thank all of them for the fantastic work they have been doing through the pandemic. #BiomedicalScientistDay2021 @NHSHEE_SEast @IBMScience #AtTheHeartofHealthcare #BehindEveryTest orlo.uk/7IN0l

Fantastic news! Lenalidomide maintenance treatment for myeloma patients post ASCT approved by @NICEComms. A big thank you to our patients @buckshealthcare who participated in MYELOMA XI Trial. This is why we do research. @BHTResearch @HelenNield

@BucksHealthcare Very well deserved, many congratulations Helen x

Many congratulations to Helen Bewley, who has been awarded an Order of the British Empire medal (BEM) for her services to pathology during COVID-19. Helen, who heads up our mortuary team, was recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours announced today.

@StpTara As a Haematologist looking for myeloma or assessing for Hodgkin relapse, an ESR is invaluable (better than repeat PET-CTs). Only last week I discovered worsening anaemia in a pt with MDS was due to myeloma because ESR 140, CRP 2

Some people just love requesting an ESR don't they? 😂 🤔🤔 #haematology #hematology

Important message: there is reason why the NHS has a two week wait policy to diagnose cancer. We are in week six of lockdown

@NMacdonaldBHT Amazing work, thank you to everyone (shout out to BMI and BHT Cancer management team, IT and property services) from all the HaemOnc doctors, nurses and, most importantly, patients

The haematology heroes - moved an entire ward in 4 days onto the BMI site 12 miles away to keep cancer patients safe through corona virus - awesome work

@the_ed_godfrey @manil1980 Husband (engineer not doctor) spots there’s something wrong with the abdominal wall, ?trauma

@SkiAGS Thank you so much, what a wonderful trip!

And that's a wrap for Ski 2019. What a fabulous week. The group were awesome and should be very proud of their achievements. We have seen them grow so much this week. Rest up and enjoy the weekend.

@NMacdonaldBHT Most of these will have biopsies taken which then need Pathologists to look at for cancer. Helen E (Specialist Services)

The national endoscopy demand growth graph of doom! Well done to Sue and the team for getting together to work out how we are going to tackle this no and in the future

@graham74GC I can’t see the definition of ‘lower volume oncologists’ in this US study. Please be careful about the message going out to patients being treated in DGHs in the UK - do we have data that their outcomes are inferior to larger centres? H Eagleton, Bucks

Very thought provoking study suggesting that older DLBCL patients treated in centres which treat more Lymphoma do better. Need to be cautious in interpreting and applying this data though. There are huge benefits in being treated locally.

@graham74GC This guideline has prevented UK armed forces personnel from being deployed as irradiated blood can’t be provided in the field. Frustrating that we have to restrict careers and the defence of the nation based on such flimsy evidence.

Personally I think irradiated blood is not really needed for any Hodgkin patients (unless maybe having a SCT) especially in countries like the UK where red cells are routinely leucodepleted. Based on very old data. However I of course stick to the guidelines! twitter.com/drraulcordoba/…

@philesavage You’re the reason I applied to work at Stoke Mandeville 15yrs ago. Thanks for being a great radiologist who cares about the person at the end of the scan ;-)

@alexmackaycooks Hi Alex and family. Very happy new year to you all too! Hx
