This is our third open letter to @POTUS from 152 American healthcare workers who served in #Gaza about what we saw and why US policy must change immediately. A PDF can be downloaded at https://t.co/tzz0LxxBNN. Tell @realDonaldTrump to meet with us so we can show him what we saw!

#RibFractures & #ThoracicTrauma #Taxonomy / #classification is a subject close to my heart. #AI provides a great opportunity to reduce interobserver variability & improve communication.

My patient stated how easy it was, it made her think, and she expects it to make a difference to record and compare her responses. The link is here: https://t.co/wAiv6k991A

It was good to use today, at last, the @CWISociety C-QoL #QualityOfLife Questionnaire for #ChestWallInjury #RibFractures #SSRF. We need to collect #PROMS & #PREMS systematically whilst we continue to explore indications, benefits, complications and late effects (in this case).

Clearly this would be a marriage made in heaven. Should I submit an abstract and see how far I can take this? What is your most absurd invitation?

Oh no! A beacon of light when #mesothelioma was a dark place for patients & carers. She led the way for the current generation of tremendous @Mesouk clinical nurse specialists who provide much needed support & information. Such sad news but a chance to celebrate her achievements
It is with great sadness that I tell you that dear Mavis Robinson has passed away; Mavis was a wonderful lady, a truly special person, and the first mesothelioma nurse in the UK. It was a tremendous privilege to have known her. Rest in peace dear Mavis ✝️ x
