Really excited to be asked to give @BreasMedical first international webinar on our paper SOA
Hopefully it will be a fantastic intro to #ACT in #NMD
Could not present without acknowledging @MiguelNIV @TiinaAndersen #MichelToussaint @JesusGo52554817 @HovBrit @MalinNB & others
Welcome to a webinar on How to use Airway Clearance in NMD with Michelle Chatwin.

Couldn't agree more! Our excellent #physio team have been vital at every stage of our @uclh COVID battle over the last year, showing great skill in everything they do. Thank you! @RebeccaMLiv @Char_Massey @oliviachappers @KatpostigoPT & team
Great work @LungConsultant , Dr Thakrar and team!
Great fun to broadcast another EBUS and bronchoscopy masterclass @uclh to over 500 colleagues around the world. Featured live placement of an airway stent (a first?!)
Thanks to @ricky_thakrar @tnewsomdavis @IndigoMedical_ @AstraZeneca and many others

This is not only an example of the impact that AHPs have on patient care, but also the value of AHPs working together to improve outcomes. A brilliant example of how true MDT working can benefit patients. @JodiAllenSLT @Char_Massey @uclh @NMCCC_NHNN
What better way to spend #AHPday than in our AHP led cough clinic with my work wife @JodiAllenSLT Happy AHP day all 🥳 #uclhAHPs @NHNN_therapies @NMCCC_NHNN
Great opportunity to showcase some of the important work of respiratory physiologists in COVID-19 (and beyond), and our Respiratory Physiology Unit @uclh . Proud to be part of an amazing team @HelenPu98638768

Great to see our @uclh Covid Follow Up Clinic on BBC news at 6! Some brilliant, innovative clinicians talking to Sir Simon and @BBCFergusWalsh including Mel, Toby and Rebecca. They started that service from a van outside the hospital and have helped nearly 1000 people since!
The head of the NHS in England Sir Simon Stevens tells the BBC there could be “hundreds of thousands of coronavirus patients” with so-called long Covid. The symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness and muscle aches. My report on #bbcnewssix #bbcnewsten

This is what our clinic is for. To understand these ongoing symptoms and provide rehab options for people. There are gaps in funding for pulmonary rehab and breathing pattern retraining.

A chance to thank some of the non-medic heroes who are making our work possible. We @uclh are lucky to have an incredible procurement team led by the awesome @piajlarsen, with Tom on speed dial ! Always going above and beyond. Thank you guys!
This is Tom. Tom works in my team. Tom is procuring ventilators, CPAP & Oxygen consumables for @uclh. He takes deliveries of ventilators at any time of the day or night & can strike a pose whilst doing it. Tom is Awesome @HCSAprocurement Tom is saving lives. #NHSheroes 💙🙌
Prof Singer and @RebeccaMLiv & the UCL Ventura CPAP device. A very useful addition to our CPAP armamentarium, esp in view of VIE & ward oxygen flow/pressure limits. High assured FiO2 & reliable PEEP. Amazing work - @UCLEngineering @rebeccajshipley @MercedesAMGF1 and team. @uclh
Data from @ARTP_Research which matches testing data from our lab, and real world experience. Limitations in assured FIO2 delivery, but has a place in the current covid-19 climate if better options exhausted. Patient selection important where possible.

#COVIDー19 #COVID_19uk worries about airway management? You’re forgetting a far more important procedure....do you know how to do a NPA? We need to decrease our false negative rates.. youtu.be/DVJNWefmHjE

Delighted our work across 10 NHS Trusts over 6 years highlighting patient benefit, reduced urgent avoidable admissions and reduced NHS costs through coordinated specialist care- @NHSEnglandLDN @UCLBrainScience @uclh @UCLIoN nmd-journal.com/article/S096…

Thank you @ARTP_News for inviting us to discuss the importance of respiratory physiology in helping people living with MND. A great turnout! #ARTP2020 @mndassoc @NMCCC_NHNN @uclh

Interesting publication from our #phenodm1 data showing impaired performance in ADLs, particularly those requiring a high degree of muscle strength, stability, and coordination. The importance of #physio and #OT intervention in #DM1 should not be underestimated @ACPIN_UK @theRCOT – at Romford, London
Recently published paper using data from the @PhenoDM1 study - "Activities of daily living in myotonic dystrophy type 1". @NMCCC_NHNN @LochmullerLab @MRC_CNMD @CureDMcharity @MyotonicStrong @Char_Massey @NIHRresearch

Great work @JodiAllenSLT (and @Char_Massey). A model that has great benefits for our patients.

This is not good enough! This device is a essential tool for #NMD including #musculardystrophy for #ACT. Without it their would be far more hospital admissions for RTI. Clinician consensus is that it’s unethical to produce a #RCT randomising patients not to receive the device.
Cough assists are still a postcode lottery for some..it's just not good enough!
