We've all heard this story.
A person goes for a stress test to ‘check their heart’ and is told they ‘passed with flying colours’.
The following week they have a heart attack.

🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training.
At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from @RCoANews

You know the paper which you have been working on for years... The one endlessly on the "to do" list, that gets rewritten based on responses from authors and reviewers that you know every iteration of every sentence? Well this is mine

The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.
Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying.

Yesterday was #WorldMSDay and I can’t help but think how being diagnosed and living with #MS has changed me. If you’d told 20 yr old Clara that flat shoes, an expertise in naps and writing a memoir would be in her future by her 40s she would have been certain you were describing
Any anaesthesia colleagues using sip-to-send/sip-to-surgery in adults? Keen to hear your experience, please.

We are currently learning about online safety in PSHE and today we discussed sharing things online. My class chose to share a photo of our dolphin & I would really appreciate as much interaction with this post as possible to show how quickly and how far online posts can spread😌
