Thanks so much to everyone who’s watching my first TV series #CardiacArrest on BBC4 and iPlayer. Season 2 airs tonight at 10pm. And thank you to all the brilliant cast and crew who did everything to elevate scripts by a lowly junior hospital doctor with zero writing experience.

The BASIS study is currently accepting patients. They're investigating whether a night time only back brace is as effective as the current standard treatment of a full time back brace, in preventing the scoliosis worsening. Go to- basisstudy.org/

Another great infographic made by @ShoulderGeek1 & @clinicaledge I particularly like the cluster of tests to help rule out C-spine involvement. Another Q I ask is if they can lie comfortably on the shoulder that is hurting it’s unlikely to be true shoulder pain

Lola Hill was diagnosed by @sortmyspine with #scoliosis, a curvature of the spine to one side. Now, several months after her #spinalsurgery, Lola no longer has any back pain and proudly shows off her scar. Read Lola’s story here bit.ly/3qWMW1Z #paediatrics @ScoliosisUK
