Roll up, roll up, it's time for today's #keynote address! @rmoonesinghe has a clutch of titles which are as impressive as her powerful and unwavering advocacy for the profession and specialty throughout the pandemic and we are very grateful to have her at #CCPOM2022 today.

Sometimes that harm may be minor, or abstract, or a near miss. Often, it isn't. We are reminded today of colleagues who have lost their lives to fatigue, often around night shifts. Few regions lack a story. We lost our friend before I graduated (not pictured) #CCPOM2022

We're lucky to have @sally_ghazali back again to talk about #fatigue and #wellbeing In the ever more pressured, understaffed, overrun @NHS, most of us will recognise these feelings. Fatigue is undoubtedly harmful, to us, to our colleagues, and to our patients. #CCPOM2022

OK strap in #CCPOM2022, Prof Madhav Swaminathan has come all the way from NC, USA to speak to us about TEE (that's TOE this side of the pond) in emergencies. I shall attempt to translate any Americanisms, if someone could translate the complicated science that'd be super.

It #Q&A time here at #CCPOM2022: Q: How do you "convince" a pt expecting a GA to have sedation? A: Most patients prefer it when it's brought up. Offer them a "margarita on the beach" effect (I'll have a mojito if you're going) and titrate to their desired effect as you go!

Here's our programme for the next two days for anyone following on us twitter or who either hasn't received their welcome email or who might just have filed it in a safe place they can no longer immediately recall... #CCPOM2022
