After some reflection I have concluded that Emergency Care in the UK has never before been under the constant, unrelenting pressure as it is now. Every shift feels like a struggle (and I’ve been doing it a while). How do you keep yourself positive on shift (and after)?

I went a bit quiet at the end of #NUHMedEd23! Fantastic talk from Prof Claire Sharpe. Showed NUH CEO the fantastic work of doctors, ACPs and students at UoN and NUH. Enthusiasm and engagement from the audience. Thank you to my organising team! @NUHPMED

Such a challenging question on differential attainment from @Dr_WilkinCrowe and Mrs Louise Morris - followed by the privilege walk! Easy to see how so many of us have privileges that others don’t. #NUHMedEd23

“We all have aspects of our personal and professional roles that we choose to share and not share in different settings” One symbol can be taken in such different ways by patients - thanks @RCullum91 #NUHMedEd23

Burnout is highest in the caring professions - those with high levels of: - Altruism - Self sacrifice - Perfectionism 50% doctors will experience burnout in their lives. It’s not just about resilience training and mindfulness - thank you @ClareGerada #NUHMedEd23

Amazing way to end the NEPTUNE conference, taking us on a PEM adventure! So many clinical trials in 1 hour. My interesting fact: No difference in drain failure rate in haemothorax (BUT emergent drains excluded!) #neptune23 #PEMadventures

“60% paediatric MT patients are of our lowest socioeconomic group” Rehab is a chance to get children INTO school not just back into school. Awesome talk by Naomi Davies - not only about rehab and school return but reminding us of huge health inequalities in the UK. #neptune23
