My heart goes out to the women who shared their experiences for @theguardian.com It is important to understand the experiences of black women maternity care come in the context of lifetimes experiencing micro aggressions and discrimination. Harm is compounded and trust undermined further. 1/

Sometimes it feels like people think the RCoA's motto is not "it is divine to alleviate pain" ('divinum sedare dolorem") but "it is divine to alleviate pain unless you're in childbirth in which case don't worry about".

Usually I only get as far as “do you want to go….” and they’re out the door! You must be providing better training than me!

I have stopped someone naming their daughter Chlamydia. They thought it was a flower.

As a member I’ve never felt the need to go the college building since drinks and nibbles after passing my FRCA. There’s rarely any events, my engagement with them can be completely remote. They will need a wholesale change it what they provide if we are to support this.

Completely. A move out isn’t on the cards. They’ve said they don’t use the building as it is, so what do they need? They need to really address the question of what is the point of a grand college building. Nobody is using it and modern working practices have changed wildly.

Everyone in theatre has one here (inc receptionists, cleaners). Rotating staff get a number made for them by the Trust ahead of arrival.

We’re just waiting until it’s festively acceptable enough to make your negroni sbagliato. That drink IS Christmas for us now.

My first choice A-levels were physics, chemistry and history. School couldn’t make a class rota work that wasn’t designed around three sciences or all art subjects. But honestly I think they just couldn’t compute mixing the two. Had to do biology Now I just indulge in episodes of Empire podcast

I loved Luxembourg. Lots to do and lovely city to wander around. Great museums. Took the kids to the EU Parliament (show them what they’re missing out on!) The countryside is beautiful too.
Vista of Vianden, Luxembourg and its castle & river

The Luxembourg City History Musuem does a very good job (with excellent models and graphics) to show how the city was built and grew. Well worth a visit.

🧵 From @rcoanews.bsky.social: The Anaesthetic Workforce 2024: UK State of the Nation Report is out now. The UK has a shortfall of 1,900 anaesthetists, which prevents around 1.4 million operations and procedures from taking place each year. Read the report in full👉 ow.ly/2q3G50UaHkO

Hard compared with Elden Ring? It took me a couple of goes to get into that but once I broke the back of it I really enjoyed it. Not played the DLC though

0.1% levob and 2mcg/ml fentanyl on a PIEB regime for analgesia Evidence would say 2% lido for speed of top-up for surgery but 0.75% ropi leads to less supplementation I’ve moved to just using 0.75% ropi. The difference in speed isn’t noticeable in my opinion.

Some excellent candidates on this list but I must encourage you to vote for Chris Till (and Helgi obvs) Anyone who has spent any time in NW England will have had their career enhanced by Chris’s mentoring, support & exam grilling I, and others, wouldn’t be anaesthetists if it wasn’t for Chris
