Exciting opportunity for a new or experienced #PEM consultant to join our ED team as we develop our new Children’s Emergency Unit Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - advert at beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

Really enjoyed the creativity everyone showed coming up with and mapping a branching scenario off the cuff in our SWSimNetwork workshop this afternoon! Sam Janoff

I tweet this periodically most summers but, given much of the UK is looking at potentially record-breaking temperatures in the next 72 hours, a reminder of some really simple basic tips to try to help you sleep better on hot nights ⬇️ ☀️ 🥵 x.com/i/events/11656…

With record-breaking 40ºC+ temperatures now recorded, don't forget: Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. This is a capitalist crisis and only system change can avert climate catastrophe.

It's World #drowningpreventionday As a surfer travelling the globe you owe it to yourself to learn how or deal with emergencies. Because sooner or later someone will need your help. Rescue techniques for surfers here carvemag.com/2022/05/rescue…

Sewage and surfers and anti biotic resistant bacteria. A study found surfers 4 x more likely to harbour anti biotic resistant bacteria. exeter.ac.uk/news/research/…

Just a reminder of the way government MPs tried to mislead everyone on their votes on sewage back in October. Stand by for more cut and paste misinformation. carvemag.com/2021/10/uk-mps…

Katie Knight Rhiannon L Cosslett RCPCH APEM London Paediatrics Damian Roland Not sure about anticipating a surge in numbers specifically, but we have early help workers based in our ED now to direct families to any financial help they can access. Anticipating huge numbers who are unable to adequately feed their children or heat their homes.

Playing children are noisy. Drowning children can’t make sound. Drowning starts above the water. It could happen right next to you. When in doubt, ask someone if they are ok. If they can’t/don’t answer, you may have less than 30 seconds to help them.

"fewer targets, better pay and an immediate focus on removing the obstacles that make their jobs increasingly frustrating. I can’t think of any other line of work that treats highly trained, dedicated people so badly." camilla cavendish & the Financial Times gets it on.ft.com/3QjZsCs

Liz Truss is the new prime minister 🚨 Yo Rishi Sunak, go home to Bel-Air 🌆

💩 ALERT! 🚨🚨🚨 Our Safer Seas & Rivers Service is once again lighting up with warnings of sewage pollution around our coastlines. Why should we be put at risk of getting sick by simply being in the sea? It's time water companies clean up their act and #EndSewagePollution.

Got caught in this last night along with kids, surf lifesavers, swimmers and lots of other surfers. No warning or advice to tell anyone in the water or on the beach (no mobile signal). Absolute disgrace and threat to public health dumping 💩 on people as they enjoyed the coast.

Here's your weekly reminder that 10 years ago the NHS was the best healthcare system in the world, ranked number 1 by the Commonwealth Fund. A decade of Tory underfunding and criminal grade neglect has delivered the crisis we're in. #SOSNHS

Now we've lifted the lid on the #SewageScandal we expect more transparency on the state of UK waters. And then Southern Water go and do this... I don't know about you but we're absolutely furious 🤬 RT to demand water companies #EndSewagePollution now! theguardian.com/environment/20…

🚨 NEW: Ambulance took more than 30 mins to reach dying baby - 8 mins to answer the 999 call. From next week, 2 NHS ambulance trusts plan to downgrade some emergency calls as crisis deepens: thetimes.co.uk/article/541319…

Sad to read in the news about a child’s death from invasive Group A Streptococcus (iGAS) But the articles I’ve seen have been somewhat inaccurate and confused! So I thought perhaps a little 🧵 From a paediatrician and budding GAS researcher…(1/)

Hi! It's really common while working as a doctor to be interrupted while you're in the middle of doing something. I'm trying to find out more about how we learn or teach managing these interruptions safely. Are you a medical student or junior doctor? Maybe you're a medical

This is the message everyone should be taking home from today’s despicable announcement. The number of people of working age with a health condition or a disability is going up. And not because they’ve all suddenly become work-shy scroungers🙄 Long (sorry!) 🧵 1/25
