After a very disruptive day of travel with the worst communication Iāve seen since recent planned IT downtime we finally got to Lisbonā¦ 12 hours later than plannedā¦
Always tough with mums Alzheimerās when she gets stuck on a memory that was a really tough time in our family 20 years ago but she feels she is currently living through it for the first timeā¦
All the sevens, donation number 77! Had a great conversation with a researcher doing a study on donor experience in Leicester and Nottingham.
As always, I challenge anyone reading this to go give blood or push friends and family to do so!

So @ParkyTracks thanks for helping me realise I can still do this despite living with #Parkinsons for 10 years.
Iāve really taken to running for charity. Great for headspace, good cause, fun and you get to meet lots of people. LLMHM 2026 was a cracking one. Thanks to all who sponsored me for @alzheimerssoc

Iāve noticed a steep rise in āstudent-ledā conferences in my area - excellent to see students enthused and involved.

The UK @ternfellow EDcorridor study is out!
Key points
1. 1in5 are treated in ED escalation areas (eg corridors)
2. 10-25% of EDs have no available resus cubicle
3. The problem/solution is flow. More patients waiting for beds in ED than in corridors.
