Today we launch our manifesto for the next UK Government for Building Better Intensive Care.
We want them to prioritise 5 key areas for a strong and sustainable intensive care service, properly resourced to care for critically ill patients.

I spoke recently to a consultant who was spending a large part of their week writing letters and dealing with admin as they had no support staff. Not a great use of their time. NHS knows the cost of everything and value of nothing.
Today our trust announced that they are making lots of admin people redundant. These are the people that do really important jobs.
Are clinical staff having to do this too??
I know it’s in the financial shit…but that is because of govt funding.

Alongside @NOrF_CCO_RRS and @CC_3N we welcome and support #MarthasRule.
Successful implementation will depend upon a properly resourced critical care outreach service in every unit and investment is needed to ensure all can succeed. Full statement: bit.ly/CCOP_MarthaRule

This was a nice surprise … the lack of a cover image notwithstanding! @NHSGas & I wrote a book demystifying CPET - due out 31st of March. If you’re interested in CPET / Peri-operative medicine / physiology / exercise / functional assessment maybe take a look #CPETmadeSimple
Aurelius lived >1800 years ago but his insights and advice for the human operating system are still relevant.

1/ Another 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics (@SteveBarclay did another media round yesterday)
I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC & eslewhere on doctors pensions... so lets dig a bit deeper into Mr. Barclay's stats
Please read all & share / RT

"Concentrations of anaesthetic gases are minute, in part because their lifetimes are too short to accumulate significantly in the atmosphere"
"NHS directives to ban desflurane are not supported by climate science and should be reversed"

Wondered how to run successful Airway Workshops: The NEO Way? Register at the EAF (23-25 Aug @RCPEdin or virtually) and gain an insight from Dr Rajinder Singh Chaggar, London. We are incredibly grateful to Dr Chaggar for joining us to share the principles and ethos behind these successful NEO workshops. Check eafest.org for details of our other talks too. @AnaesthetiSingh #Neoway, #airwayworkshops

It has been seven months since we first told @SteveBarclay consultants were on a course towards industrial action.
He hasn't even met with us since our overwhelming ballot in favour of industrial action. @SteveBarclay says his door is open, but not to avert strike action.
In fact, the Health Secretary hasn’t met the Consultants since their strike ballot result and hasn’t replied to @TheBMA’s letter.
In the face of the worst NHS strikes in history, the Health Secretary has been asleep at the wheel and the Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen.
