Anaemia, due to iron deficiency, is a leading cause of disability in women responsible for 400,000 years of disability per annum in the USA. Why are we no screening women to help them

Should @TheBMA postpone striking resident doctors pending discussion and planning in response to this (sensible) review - @wesstreeting is likely to have been waiting for the review to initiate changes. Now there is an agenda for change
Training is central to doctors providing the best care for patients. The Medical Training Review, out today, is a diagnostic report with input from many doctors, medical students and patients. It shows we need to rethink many aspects of training. https://t.co/hlpO4O9Msb

IMO anaemia after surgery is the therapeutic target - easy to identify and easy to treat
In people having heart surgery, the highest number of deaths happened in: • people who had anaemia both before and after surgery (17.8%) • people who had no anaemia before but had it after surgery (13.1%) #anaesthesia #MedTwitter #haematology #anaemia

No we didn’t interview Tony Stark, it was actually @TobyRichardsUEL who answered our Q&A about anaemia and iron deficiency. As he says “it’s easy to identify and treat and of all the treatments in medicine it works!” The episode will be available from 2nd September

The commonest cause of teenage and maternal death in the USA is bleeding. The aetiology is gunshot homicide. Either people should carry tranexamic acid or people should stop carrying guns..... (from today's Guardian)
