Reassuring to see that the UK training system is delivering good training in this very important area without compromising patient care.

Whole blood in trauma has generated enormous interest. Today, @SWiFT_trial in @NEJM provides the clearest randomised evidence so far on whether prehospital whole blood improves outcomes in life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: tinyurl.com/SWiFTNEJM

Lovely final evening in @UniofOxford having dinner with @126Liam & @TraumaDataDoc. Great food & great company. Heading home…
Great to meet and thank you for excellent company. Sorry we couldn't find a better Oxford skyline for the photograph. See you at @IncrEMentuMconf!

A major UK study has revealed that the financial burden of hip fractures extends beyond hospital walls, with social care costs often matching or exceeding medical treatment.
I envy the courage of someone who can broadcast a post to 240,000 followers without pausing to check their facts first. There are lots of problems with the NHS but this post conflates hip fracture (time to operation measured in hours/days) with elective hip replacement (months).

In the WHiTE study, patients treated for extracapsular #hip #fractures with long cephalomedullary nails had equivalent recovery of quality of life compared with short cephalomedullary nails.

In the WHiTE study, patients with a complication after their hip fracture had worse quality of life & higher risk of death.
