If you have never been vaccinated against measles or been infected, please consider getting the MMR vaccine. It is safe & very effective. – at Glasgow, Scotland

In acute medicine, we often treat patients with a first presentation of ‘psychosis’, & need to make decisions about how far we investigate for auto-immune encephalitis.
This article suggests 1/12 pts presenting with de novo psychosis have AI encephalitis. theguardian.com/society/2023…

Oral switch non-inferior for treating Gram Negative Bacteraemia #ECCMID2023 with lower length of stay. Once again oral for the win. Not surprised by result but I guess we hope this can convince anyone still stuck using IV.....

Cephalosporins in penicillin allergy; from Dutch antimicrobial allergy guidelines. We should be using them more frequently #eccmid2023

Ever wonder why fluoroquinolones increase the risk of tendon rupture?
It seems so random that a whole class of antibiotics could cause tendon injuries, but the risk is real.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

It’s wonderful to see @raseaton66 and the Glasgow team be recognised for their incredible work helping more people receive care closer to home 👏
The Out-patient Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) service is just one of the ways we are reducing pressure on hospitals.
The service has already saved more than 45,000 bed days nationally this year.
