Apparently I have appeared on Facebook adverts for a non-invasive glucometer. This is not me! Also, I am not the Dr Martin Whyte (paediatrician). Have to love the internet...
Very happy to have been appointed Professor of Metabolic Medicine @UniOfSurrey So grateful to have worked with such wonderful and talented people there.

'Doctor, I'm worried about this patient's observations.' We find them bolt upright, gripping the rails, wheezing with each gasp. RR & BP up, sats down. Classic APO - we got here just in time. Yet an AI for detecting deterioration might have missed this. Our paper explains why...

Congratulations @GiahZaidani for winning the 2024 Harvey best poster prize @RoySocMed Cardiovascular Symposium @lifecourse_KCL 👏🙌🥳@BajkaBalazs
Very good summary of the current crisis with MAPs
@NewStatesman @pwhitakerwriter I would add that moving to medical subspecialisation, away from the generalist, inevitably leads to funders questioning the need for comprehensive, general medical educ.

Today we launch legal action against
@gmcuk over its decision to apply good medical practice equally to PAs & AAs, & the use of “medical professionals” to describe these professions
PAs/AAs are not doctors – blurring the lines can have tragic consequences bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

200,000 doctors are going to be protecting the public by suing the GMC
The GMC is the regulatory body that is meant to uphold standards in medicine to deliver the best outcomes for patients.
Doctors feel the GMC have let patients come to harm and are ever increasing that harm
Huge News!!

This is a nice summary of the most commonly discussed diets @NEJM . It is important to give people a 'menu' of dietary options - for them to choose one that has greatest chance of persistence/success.

Very brave for these officers to have written. Many of us appreciate that you have done it, while sorry you had to.
Senior officers of @RCPhysicians courageous put their heads over the parapet and ask the RCP President @DrSarahClarke to fall on her sword and resign immediately over the swirling Physician Associate (PA) scandal
