Imagine being told you have 3 weeks before starting your new job to find a place to live - in a city or town you've never been to before.
It's unreasonable.
It's unacceptable.
It's unfair.
Dissertation with this tagline coming soon - watch this space !!
More claims being made for cold water immersion on local radio. Note, the definitive science hasn't been done, the evidence is anecdotal and it is potentially dangerous. By all means do it, but understand the risks & benefits & proceed with caution. bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/23/1…
Really excited to speak about this on Thursday. Don’t miss out - link to free tickets in quote tweet ⬇️

Chemical Restraint of the Agitated Patient
It's one of the most dangerous things we do, for patients and for providers.
Here's how to avoid the major pitfalls...

Is #ColdWaterImmersion beneficial or dangerous? For informed answers, I spoke with the great @ProfMikeTipton for the first episode of the new season of the podcast. Tune in here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas… or here: youtube.com/watch?v=xuDacCtj… Thanks again, Mike!
Thrilled to be presenting my cold water research and rescue tool @physoc Drowning Prevention and Treatment Conference with #IDRA next Thursday. Don't let it float by, registration to attend is free and closes on the 6th October:

Mind-boggling advice from NICE - to use injections of sterile water for pain relief for labouring women.
One of the studies cited seriously has sterile water as its active arm &, er, salty water as placebo😳 (ref below).
*When* will my profession take women's pain seriously?
Shame on you @NICEComms. Agreeing that healthcare professionals can offer pseudoscientific pain relief to women in labour is nothing short of a scandal. Shame on you.

A lot of hard work by @sophhmacdonald on an analysis of the access to PHEM critical care across the UK - since the last review in 2012 there still remains geographical and diurnal variation #PHEM #HEMS

What a fascinating study and do we need to change what teach the public? @SaviourMedical

I did a medical degree in 3 years 7 months.
Here's why I think 4 year medical degrees as standard is a truly AWFUL idea.

Nobody should lose their life due to lack of access to equipment.
That’s why we’ve committed to supplying 18,000 state-funded schools with a life-saving defibrillator.
Today, every secondary school in England has this vital equipment.

Current water temperatures will evoke the maximum cold shock response, and can lead to swim failure in as little as 10 minutes. Please respect the water!
As we enjoy the warm weather over the next few weeks, please remember and share @RNLI advice – if you get into trouble in the water, Float To Live.
Tilt your head back with ears submerged 👂
Relax and try to control your breathing 🫁
Move your hands to help you stay afloat ✋
