Great to host and deliver the microbiology module for the paediatric allergy, immunology and infectious diseases training programme at St Georges University Hospital on behalf of the @bpaiig.bsky.social. Really engaged group of trainees.

Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. I've signed the open letter to Wes Streeting calling on him to get Palantir out of the NHS. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/we...

After all the negative news from and about the USA great to see such a fantastic US skating team. Talented, gracious and fair. The total antithesis of MAGA. #winterolympics

Gives Trump the excuse to mobilise troops, declare martial law and impose a dictatorship. The US system of government has been shown to be unable to prevent unconstitutional power grabs.

Digitising the NHS and adult social care | Out today - the amounts seem huge and I am sure there is a lot of wariness after previous attempts but if we are to reap the benefits of digital in healthcare its not going to be done without significant investment. www.health.org.uk/reports-and-... 🩺🖥️

I think the teams will be totally demoralised after just coming out of a round of 30% redundancies. All focus and energy will go.

Healthcare senior management saying they “dont do digital” (DDD) should be as unacceptable as saying they don’t do safety, quality or effectiveness. Lack of digital awareness is not a badge of honour! #digitalhealth #🩺🖥️

Going to school in South Africa in the 80’s 2 books stick in my mind. The loathsome “Wuthering Heights” - god I hated that book, and “ Cry the Beloved Country” by Alan Paton which resonated so deeply.

Aspergillus was named by Pier Antonio Micheli, an Italian priest and biologist. The molds resembled an aspergillum, a holy water sprinkler.

I did some research (googled it). Hitler - artist, Lenin - lawyer, Stalin - criminal, Napoleon - soldier, Mussolini - journalist, Pol pot - engineer, Mao - teacher. Mugabe - teacher. But yes 3 doctors - Papa Doc Duvalier, Hastings Banda and al Assad, but minor league compared to the others!

The shooting of the United Healthcare CEO just highlights how toxic and unequal US healthcare has become. People angry enough to shoot him, and for many others to feel that he had it coming. I’ll take my 1 year wait in the #NHS anytime thank you! #freeatthepointofaccess

Is it just me or are other people getting followed by bott accounts usually with a picture of a women who is obviously a model and postings of statements that sound profound but are just AI drivel? Blocking button is being overused. Not sure of the point of them?

Today’s poem is dedicated to all those who have taken it upon themselves to correct the grammar or spelling in my poems over the last few weeks. It’s called ‘Pedents’.
Pedents
 
Foot soldiers in the War on Error,
They’re here to save us from ourselves,
With Fowler’s Modern English Usage
(first edition, nineteen twelve).
 
They scrutinise each word we write
For typos, gaffes, et cetera,
Correcting all our dumb mistakes
To make our grammar betterer.
 
They sigh and tut and tell us off
For the rules we have forsaken
And chart this nation’s steep decline
By the care we should of taken.
 
Custodians of the King’s English,
They merely serve to keep it pure
And restrict, they hope, the ignorant
To three mistakes or less.
 
In doing so, they hold no fear
they will deprive a thing of life:
for it’s not important what is said,
what matters is that its right.

Yes I went to ECCMID last year, the 1st time since the pandemic and I found it overwhelming. Either I am getting less tolerant of crowds or ECCMID has grown too big or should I say ESCMID Global.

Differential diagnosis for fever in an ICU patient #IDSky #MedSky #SciArt
A man is in an ICU hospital bed, intubated and sedated. The graphic around him depicts various organ systems that can contribute to fevers in ICU patients, including CNS, endocrine, cardiac, respiratory, GI, GI, bone, skin/soft tissue, and others (I.e. malignancy, autoimmune conditions, and drug fevers).
