@sheiybani @gloshospitals Well done Gio, I know the juniors (and consultants!) have hugely valued your work this year. See you back here soon!

And that's the end of the #RCPChiefReg @gloshospitals and what a year it has been! A little thread of my musings 🧵 (1/9) TLDR: Challenging year but learnt a lot about myself, Trust workings and finding solutions to fairly complex issues.

Pleased to have dealt with a pigeon in the doctor's office this morning without needing to call the med reg #flyingsolo

@HotKidneyAction These guys?

It’s the headline we’ve been waiting for. Space mice may offer clues to why astronauts get kidney stones | Space | The Guardian theguardian.com/science/2022/a…

@drtom1981 @gregdoesethics Yes kidneys in Gloucestershire

It's a 'law & ethics' man versus #medtwitter this weekend, and I'm siding with medtwitter. Strange times.

@sheiybani @gloshospitals Will be great to have you back Gio!

Has had great chats with this with the DME and med director @gloshospitals this week and super excited to start back in March! Their enthusiasm in the face of covid pressures is amazing!

A true leader indeed - always helpful and welcoming at the RCP when I was a chief reg. Very sad news.

Looking through the @pfizer data submitted to #vrbpac now. Fascinating stuff here. Thread. 1/

V excited and grateful to be one of the first in line for the covid vaccine today - thanks to everyone @gloshospitals for making it happen! @sphams, @emandfilsworld, @Deborah62655228(+ All the scientists who made it + those in the trials!)

@hswapnil @CarowayMegan I was reading that last week! Is it still safe / effective in anuric patients?

@CarowayMegan Mostly enrolling patients in the ACHIEVE trial right now Otherwise use it in HD mostly for hypertension (watch out for hyperkalemia) In PD we use it to fix hypokalemia journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Hey #NephTwitter , are you using aldosterone receptor antagonists in ESRD patients? If so, under what circumstances?
