@drjohnm Wild to read. Hard to even imagine EP fellows getting pulled off EP in the Us to go admit 80 year patients with pneumonia or HHS.

In England, EP training is being squeezed by the need for dual accreditation in general internal medicine. We argue that this risks a generation of underprepared specialists. Our article in AER : https://t.co/xx4WVIVmLp

Reminds of this slide I have shown over the years of genes harboring (human) mutations conferring resistance to MI and ASCVD These targets getting a lot of attention.

Great to see @TheBHF supporting screening programmes for important diseases. Screening often attracts criticism in resource-poor systems, but FIND-AF shows a potential way to reduce devastating strokes from an often asymptomatic disease.
📢 Late-Breaking at #ESC2025: FIND-AF clinical trial (n≈2,000) ➡️ Machine learning–guided screening identifies a subgroup with 8-fold higher risk of AF among patients at elevated stroke risk. 💡 AI could transform early AF detection @TheBHF @LeedsHospCharity @NIHRresearch

Why can I see Registered Nurse roles out for £12-14 per hour in Yorkshire. I was earning £11.09 TEN years ago. What a travesty.

A very stimulating conversation at the ESC TV Roundtable on making global cardiology sustainable for all on Saturday @BritishCardioSo thanks for the support @TheBJCA - if you missed the session catch-up on https://t.co/eqr1diwTCD

@drjohnm @AndrewFoy82 even less suspicious (~2.5 coin flips!) to see that much variation in average effects between trials if including REDUCE-AMI forgive me if I've left off other recent trials on this question (I'm sure someone else has already done a more systematic meta-analysis)

Doesn't want to be controversial. Opens popcorn. Apparently in charge of a College?
Without wanting to be too controversial, does anyone actually believe that cardiac monitoring on medical wards saves lives? (Opening some popcorn)

Will be interested to see @drjohnm's take on #BetaBlockerGate #ESC2025 Should we read anything into REBOOT using Bisoprolol and being negative, but BETAMI using Metoprolol and being positive?

Hope so. Dealing with the NHS these days feels like undergoing ritual humiliation: terrible service while treating you as if you are a child. There is no other domain in my life in which people are so patronising while delivering such a substandard product.
I increasingly suspect the NHS is going to go similar to UK EU membership. For decades folk like me propose moderate-but-significant reforms that maintain the core. We're ignored. So eventually patience is lost & the whole thing is thrown out & we start again.

The GMC needs a hard reset: 🔹Clear out current “leadership”. 🔸Full democratisation of the council and all key leadership positions. 🔹Binding vote of no confidence processes. 🔸Return to doctor only regulator status. 🔹Spending surplus rebate mechanism for working doctors.
⚠️Newly released emails show @gmcuk described itself as "anxious" about the Leng Review's work on scope of practice for associates The regulator asked Prof Leng to meet Charlie Massey ahead of the roundtable to "develop and frame the questions". Trying to influence the agenda?

🚨Delighted to share that our paper evaluating the UK interventional cardiology training programme has been published! 📄 https://t.co/iFmZDtJTsQ We provide quantitative data on procedural volumes and trainee confidence across a range of interventional techniques.

Background: Interventional cardiology (IC) is a competitive and oversubscribed subspecialty. The UK cardiology programme is currently in a state of transition of curricula, and concerns have

This is a great point. I never understood why we ask about achievements outside medicine when assessing someone's aptitude in medicine.
@DrRJWebb 100%. Plus I find the question quite classist. I grew up in a single parent family who struggled financially. I didn’t go to private school. So subsequently I never got the opportunities to do grade 8 piano or be tutored to high level in a sport.

Excuse me, what?
I’ve been working with an IVF startup, @herasight, that has already screened hundreds of embryos. Today we come out of stealth with a paper showing that our predictors for 17 diseases — validated within-family — beat the competition, with improved performance in non-Europeans🧵

@drmattuk @Melissa_S_Ryan And yet consultants have refused to come in - apparently due to their discomfort with the EPR. We have told the trust to invoke business continuity and use paper if the EPR is such a significant blocker, rejecting further requests for derogations.

It’s simply outrageous that neither the Prime Minister nor the Health Secretary are willing to sit down with doctors to avert next week’s industrial action. Doctors don’t want it, patients don’t want it, why won’t the Prime Minister act to prevent it?
Good to meet today with an MP who’s door is actually open to talk about the issues impacting the NHS including doctors’ industrial action and NHS culture @wesstreeting.
