The new hydration station at @AneurinBevanUHB #dsu at Nevill Hall. @SipTilSend #thinkdrink. No excuse for NBM before surgery
On a more positive note than today’s political events, I have received my twice yearly club biscuit from #NHSBT. I almost bought some last year, but that would just be wrong!
Named hats have been on my to do list for years. Finally got myself organised! Flattening the hierarchy, one first name at a time
Take homes from day 2 of #BADS2024
Frailty increases risk, but also increases the benefits of day surgery
POCD more than doubles when older patients are admitted vs day case
Personalised TKR is the way forward
Robot lap choles can only take 20mins! Thanks @britdaysurgery
Looking forward to day 2 of #BADS2024. Some excellent speakers k day 1, including a live demo of PVB by the fantastic DBSL. Thanks @britdaysurgery
Today we celebrate one of the most important jobs in theatre, the people who I rely on every day - and the career that most people have never heard of.
To all the ODPs I have worked with, past and present - you are awesome! #ODPDay
Autocorrect wants to change “propofol” to “foolproof.” Anyone old enough to remember Michael Jackson’s death can see the issue with this…
Yesterday I finally figured out how to get a patient seen urgently by cardiology. Turns out all you need is an aortic valve velocity of 5.46m/s 😖 really hope the patient is ok
Really interesting. Think we will need to add this to our fasting policy! And maybe we can learn some gastric US!
Struggling with what to do with patients on GLP-1 agonists like #ozempic ? Even if off for a week, we're still finding some have full stomachs on day of surgery. 🤦♂️
Check out this new video on gastric POCUS--a critical tool to help decision-making:

Patients are often fasted for long periods prior to surgery and this can result in them having worse outcomes which is why we’re taking part in #SipTilSend.
Drinking water before theatre means less headaches and less chance of nausea post-op. Read more: bit.ly/494CSaC

Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

Delighted to be @RoySocMed for @SAADuk annual symposium. Talking this afternoon. Currently listening to the amazing @VivGordonCo talk about helping survivors of CSA
