Today’s Obstetric’s meeting has been a huge success so far, with phenomenal speakers, like Dr Nia Jones, and Ms Alexandra Drought delivering insightful talks! More photos to come next week.

In a recent NCEPOD report into A&E care for those with epilepsy, only 13% of patients had any record of being told about SUDEP and epilepsy risk.

The govt’s workforce plan will make the NHS a second tier service staffed by second rate staff. It will maintain the NHS in name only, forcing more people - both staff and patients - into the private sector - a political decision about not raising taxes, especially on property.

I’m looking forward to reading the NHS workforce plan, particularly who is going to train all the new staff? Existing students and trainees lament the lack of training. Unless we retain the trainers, and protect time for training, we can’t teach the trainees.

Gynaecology Ultrasound is highly specialised - the more you know, the more you see, the better quality the diagnosis, the faster the patient is helped and the less money is spent on potentially unnecessary CT/MRI/surgery....Specialising the workforce more than pays for itself!

So true. Also - you can predict Placenta Accreta Spectrum in the first trimester as Caesarean Scar Pregnancy, like this youtu.be/QqXxNyGhCUU
Absolutely agree! The combination of transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound is excellent for assessing #placentaaccretaspectrum #PAS. We’ve got a great thing going between MFM and MIGS sonologists at @McMasterOBGYN

A new study reveals people from the Netherlands are the most physically active on earth; getting 12.8 hours of exercise per week.
While gyms and sports clubs are a contributing factor, the average Dutch person also cycles about 1,098 kilometers per year.
