Delighted to share our study from @northeastHMV Critical care outcomes in people with LD are good. Retrospective data do not support withholding critical care in this patient group (as observed in previous literature). Challenge therapeutic nihilism! https://t.co/ZvLSDlZoy6

@wesstreeting Thanks for asking As some one who has worked in the NHS for 35 yrs and examined its working throughout that time my list of what needs changing would start with Stop breaking the system by defunding it in the name of efficiency. It is way beyond the point at which trying to cut

Fantastic to see this published from @BTSrespiratory. A simple framework to diagnose and treat tobacco dependency that every hospital clinician in every specialty could implement & deliver substantial benefits - the building blocks framework https://t.co/scr2xEcH95

Congrats on @RatanoD on leading this new publication (years in the making). In silico trials offer a novel means to explore heterogeneity of treatment effect, assess feasibility, and develop tailored interventions in respiratory failure. https://t.co/WOG7nUKA49

This looks absolutely fantastic! Potential for VR in tracheostomy education! I love how innovative this is and can't wait to hear more about the outcomes! Well done everyone involved!
Randomised control trial run by @NTSP_UK and @RescapeVR demonstrating the potential of VR for trache education - developed from our @SBRICOE @CCRChallenge trache project. Similar results also shown in our @CUHealthSci study. @DragonsHeart_I @CV_UHB @KimAtkinson_OT @SuzRankin

This is such a tragic shame for a huge amount of people who benefit from lung volume recruitment. A cheap easy to use and maintain device which is a lifeline for many. Credit to @NippyVentilator for taking this on years ago & being our supply lifeline - we are forever grateful
To users of our Lung Volume Recruitment kits. It's with sadness that we must obsolete our #LVRkit range, due to issues with sourcing the current "balloon" component, or a suitable replacement. (Reposting so the product bulletin is fully visible) @SiLVaH_UK @TheACPRC @uk_hmv

I see Bath have completely sold out for next season. Congratulations to them. Come on Northerners, let’s try and emulate them. Would be great to fill the stadium every game next season so you can help us on our way to Twickenham again!💪 Northernrugbymatters👍

The government has sold the Oxford Vaccination production unit to an American Company for £200m Built in 2014 to respond to Ebola and absolutely essential during Covid, we will not have it for the next pandemic. It would cost just £5m a year to keep open. Another Conservative

One of our long stay #rehablegend finally went to the ward after 3.5 months on ICU. Very pleased to visit her today 🎉 A real MDT effort - medical team, excellent nursing care (including hair dye & weekly manicure!), physio, dietician, SLT, pharmacy & special help from NWVU 👏👏

As much as we all love and admire Kevin, we should probably all take 3 minutes to donate a tenner. Think of what he has given. 👍

Today we have a lovely lunch for our Lead Nurse Debbie McCann who will be retiring on Friday after 16 yrs in the team. Thank you to Debbie for her dedication and support over the years. She’ll certainly be missed by staff and patients but we hope she enjoys her retirement

The news just now from RECOVERY is another massive improvement in care of patients with Covid-19. It also has implications for how we treat, and study, other life-threatening disease. 1/n
New RECOVERY result: Baricitinib 8156 patients randomly allocated to receive usual care plus baricitinib versus usual care alone. 28-day mortality lower in patients allocated baricitinib: 513/4148 (12%) vs 546/4008 (14%) (age-adjusted rate ratio 0.87; 95% CI 0.77-0.98; p=0.026)
