We are so excited to share what we've discovered about cellular responses to #criticalillness in humans, with evidence for cellular hypoxic adaptation under life-threatening stress @dr_katieOB @andrewmurray78 @deoxyexplorer @XtremeEverest

Email tricnetwork@gmail.com for the Teams link to the listening event tomorrow, 1st Nov at 7pm.
Looking forward to hearing from #ICM trainees undertaking academic roles at the first “listening event” tomorrow! Hosted by @TRICNetwork, @drdhruvparekh @FICMNews; we’re eager to hear about everyone’s experience and to start working on how we can help.

@DrPujaMehta1 @19 @drdhruvparekh The aim of the session is to gather info from ICM academic trainees, hear about issues related to integrating academic and clinical training, and hopefully answer some of the questions that have already been sent to @MitoExplorer.

@DrPujaMehta1 @TRICNetwork @19 @MitoExplorer I’ve heard there is huge amount of variation around the country, lots of challenges. Want to hear about these and things that work have gone well. I know I’ve faced some for our trainees and we want to understand and hopefully improve

It's on PubMed! So pleased to be able to share 1st PhD paper on patient experience of trache, with clinical implications for ICU MDT, 🙏 to wonderful co-authors! @drnatpat @sarahwallaceslt @gemmaclunie @csmithUCL @deoxyexplorer

Voice restoration should be given high priority in the management of adults with a tracheostomy in ICU. Staff training should focus on both technical skills and compassionate care to improve person...

So many of us are drawn to intensive care training from different backgrounds - it would be great to hear whether this ability to count previous experience has been straightforward, in ICM or other specialities?

Question for UK #ICM trainees and trainers: does anyone have any experience of the new CESR-combined programme route towards CCT? @FICMNews @ICS_updates

Calling all UK academic #ICM trainees! Would you be interested in being part of a UK network, connecting academic trainees from different regions to share experiences of integrating academic with ICM training? Please get in touch via DM! @FICMNews @NIHRresearch @ICS_updates

Super presentation, Pram! We are very lucky to attract such fab research fellows!
Pramitha Chiduluri describes the fantastic anaes fellowships available @HUHgas @mum_on_bike @OAAinfo @OAATrainee @Eltonchris

Beautifully written piece, deftly explaining the starker realities of intensive care: “It maintains life, but does not make you stronger. In fact, it reliably makes you weaker” “We are bookies; not prophets.”
PLEASE do the right thing, not the “rights” thing. This is why https://t.co/aP65e0iXkA

Delayed by a year, due to the pandemic, Prof Dan Martin @deoxyexplorer finally gives his Macintosh Professorship lecture at the virtual #anaesthesia2021 today at 10.45. It promises to be a wonderful story @FICMNews @XtremeEverest @EBPOM
If you don't have the time to join #Anaesthesia2021 live then it's OK - if you buy a ticket at ANY point during the three day conference you will be able to access ALL the content shared to view at your leisure. Take a look & book https://t.co/wm7F4sysxb

And we're off! The first patient has been recruited to the trial at Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton. Thank you to the entire team there for working so hard to achieve this. A great day for the trial and fantastic news for the South West. Only 16,499 more to go!

Lovely summary of our study of cellular adaptation in critically ill patients from @PlymUniResearch
https://t.co/GvKyxVrrzS

The new study led by Dr Helen McKenna shows early signs that cells in some critically ill patients actually adapt to their conditions by producing energy more efficiently.

Loved learning more about improving healthcare team performance through the “Learning from Excellence” approach @CPOC_News. Wonderful arguments for positive feedback #PSPP21.
