Top actress Olivia Colman told Marvel star Benedict Cumberbatch that best food she has had was in Sri Lanka during a holiday with her family. Colman said that she had been to Sri Lanka on a “holiday of a lifetime” and she had “the best food”. #OliviaColman #BenedictCumberbatch

We continue to see the harmful effects of mandated GIM dual accreditation on Cardiology speciality training. RDs are spending a disproportionate length of time doing GIM (beyond the stipulated 12 months). Which has led to a marked reduction in procedural + imaging volume

@sam_mc35 Excellent paper…maybe it’s time for a Royal College of Cardiologists where training our future Cardiologists in this super-skilled specialty is prized more than covering GIM on call @nolanjimradial @DrAsifQasim @ncurzen @RCPhysicians
