Great opportunity to take part in a research project on childhood #asthma in #Wolverhampton.
Working together with @PrasadNagakumar and #ADLindenmeyer at @unibirmingham
Hi @karlhenry08 - I know childhood asthma and Wolverhampton both mean a lot to you and would really appreciate if you could share this!

Fantastic day at the @RCSEd York President's forum - highlights: meeting people and socialising, learning about robotic surgery & my first go on Inuitive simulator, delivering a talk on #frugal innovation and #globalsurgery and coming home with fluffy unicorn🦄 souvenirs!

The fire service invest more on fire prevention than putting out fires
The police invest more on crime prevention
"We need to rethink how we frame health and think more about preventing ill health and see hospital admissions as a failure to do that" @julianhuppert

The worlds biggest study of post acute #COVID19 symptoms in children is out as a pre-print - the CLoCK study!
Fortunately results are very reassuring regarding symptom frequency and impact
Some important lessons, let's take a look 🧵

If you were wondering about the situation in hospitals in England for children with #COVID19 or RSV, it looks like this 👇

Helpful data on short- and medium-term risks associate to #COVID19 infection and #vaccination
Look at the risk of adverse events following vaccination (blue) versus #COVID19 infection (gold).
Myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots, intracranial bleeding, etc are all substantially more common following infection versus vaccination.

#Disability is a global public health issue.
People w/ disabilities, especially in lower-income countries have less access to health care & assistive technology.

Easy to read summary of how #COVID19 affects children, including long-lasting symptoms. Very useful read when considering vaccination in young people.

Vaccines should not be the preserve of rich countries bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n204…
Interesting read which touches on "vaccine apartheid" and how inequalities in the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines are causing preventable suffering and prolonging the pandemic.
First monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19 approved for use in the UK - can be used in prevention and treatment of acute COVID-19

We've developed an interactive dashboard to show local GP inequalities. Local systems can now see their own inequalities

@BolaOwolabi8 @RCGPHI @rcgp
Very informative thread on how the spread of a virus may not always be straightforward, the role of superspreaders and some thoughts on how to combat this. Will be interesting to see how this is observed with the new test and trace schemes.
#TestandTrace
We can't identify superspreaders so we need to continue to maintain physical distancing & hygiene measures.
Pre-covid I told my students there was little evidence for #facemask use. Been convinced by @trishgreenhalgh & will advise otherwise now based on precautionary principle.
Thank you @GASOC_2015 and @Noel25Dec for your work in putting together such a great conference. Incredible opportunity to hear about the impacts of #COVIDー19 on surgical practice across the world and how we can learn from each other.
#frontlineglobalsurgery #globalsurgery
Thank you Dr. @hakonbolkan for your valuable insights into how #Ebola affected surgical practice in #SierraLeone and what lessons can be learnt for the current #Covid_19 pandemic.

From the @bmj_latest, authors @gerrymccartney1 @vkatikireddi @martinmckee & others.
How do we mitigate the socioeconomic and health effects of the #COVID19 pandemic? More examples of how, once again, the social determinants of health are key.

In the Journal of Critical Care, @ma_xiya and I performed the first mapping of the global availability of ICU beds.
While this is only one piece of the puzzle, it provides some insight in the ability to cope with critically-ill #COVID19, now & in future.
