Hello. I am new to this medium, but if you are interested in medicine and in patient safety, please follow me.

And it’s out! The 7th edition of How to Read a Paper, coauthored with new blood in the shape of my ex PhD student Paul Dijkstra @drpauldijkstra.bsky.social. So good working with you on this Paul!

"Women full professors are 19% more likely than men at the same career stage to leave academia, as compared with 6% for women assistant professors and 10% for associates."

“As a child I needed free school meals, as mayor, I provide them. And this policy works – here’s the proof” Sadiq Khan👏 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A poem inspired by reading about how doctors interrupt patients on an average approximately 18 seconds after the patient starts speaking. It also applies to personal relationships! Apologies to @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social for plagiarising the title of her brilliant book. #poetry #medsky

Phew! Managed to get a seat on the 5 am Saturday 376 bus bound for Bristol from Somerset. I had thought it would be packed! Not sure what time Dr Foster set off Gloucester but @greenparty.org.uk events are worth going the extra mile for! #VoteGreen #JoinGreen

Fantastic to present our lipid audit in PAD inpatients, the best double act so far ✨️ Significantly increased rates of lipid screening, high intensity statin and ezetimibe prescription by 3mth and sustained at 6mths #VSASM2024 #vascularsky #academia

🚨🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨🚨 We are developing core outcome sets for symptomatic #PAD - one each for claudication and #CLTI If you’re a healthcare professional or researcher with experience of PAD patients please consider contributing to a focus group 👇 #vsasm2024 #vascsky #medsky

CLARITY and LEADER-PAD trials exciting times #VSASM2024

GMC Workforce Report Some of the most challenging aspects of this report are the low numbers of Doctors completing Foundation Year 2 who enter directly into training programs, now representing just 1 in 4 (25%) down from 2 in 3 (67%) in 2012. www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-ar...

At #VSASM2024 Well done Raj! #vascular

"Early Career Academic" covers anyone between masters degree and retirement

I've enjoyed this cute AAA that it's getting memed #medsky

Ok I've confused some people, yes if you invert it, it could be a uterus, but what I was going for is a swelling of the aorta (big blood vessel)

The plan vs the outcome abdominal aortic aneurysm, but make it cute. 🧶

🚨FOR NEW PATIENTS NHS DENTISTRY HAS EFFECTIVELY CEASED TO EXIST Government’s own shocking data shows a staggering 97% of new patients who try to get an NHS appointment fail to get one People forced to pull out their own teeth with pliers is not Victorian it’s medieval youtu.be/UtqAtGAnuC0?...

One of the things I admire least in a doctor is one who sells false hope. If you can't help someone be honest about it instead of trying to sell them snake oil.
