Good coffee is in short supply at #DDW2023 with huge queues at Starbucks. So the organisers needed a cunning plan to stop everyone falling asleep in the sessions? And that’s why everyone is absolutely freezing cold right now.

Fantastic presentation by Aviv Pudipeddi on VIEWS today at @DDWMeeting. Australian study showing in patients with prior anti-TNF exposure and histological activity at baseline, thiopurine withdrawal significantly increased the risk of disease relapse. @rupertleong

In June the Premier announced that he would recruit 7674 healthcare workers over the next 12 months. We just asked him in Parliament how many have been recruited. He refused to say.
