As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social unless you have a way to justify this?

I think it is evident that we have already brought the conversation to BlueSky! In an environment plagued by scientific misinformation, do medical organisations/journals have a moral imperative to remain, to provide a source of truth & reason? Or should they just.. leave? Let's discuss. #AnSky

Inspired by posters going up in anaesthetic rooms at @ekhuft.bsky.social, I thought I'd share this again. Error with TIVA is potentially more common, because multiple errors are not yet prevented by the equipment. You can check your working with #PERUSEbeforeYouInfuse . youtu.be/HGtBMHXUVyA?...

That'll need careful consideration to make sure it's sustainable and funding goes to those who need it most. Extending bulk billing incentives to everyone won't necessarily mean everyone gets bulk billed, because patients' rebates are still too low to cover the cost of care. 2/3

It’s nuanced Nowadays I sit on both sides as a RG-anaes and a a retrieval consultant doing flying & coordination When done well it’s great But often theres no audit of rural clinicians experience & feedback is one way Unfortunately rural can fall into trap of learned helplessness & de-skilling

230

Tim Leeuwenburg @kangaroobeach.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Sadly common themes recur. Patronising manner. Ignoring work done b4 team arrive. Using Telehealth when not requested. Poor interpersonal skills Most times it’s done v well But not always & same stories keep recurring when RGs asked Hence need to audit the rural not just retrieval perception

Tim Leeuwenburg @kangaroobeach.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

We often hear talks from retrieval about their service & rescuing rural pts It’s true that rural setting is austere & pts disadvantaged And rural Drs may not be best at critical care But some are very capable Id live to see an audit of how retrieval are perceived by rural It’s not always rosy
