Local legend @icu_dave and his experiences transferring some of the sickest patients in some incredibly challenging circumstances. Always an inspiring speaker - get registered to hear him and more at @EAFestival
As we know, in February last year a series of earthquakes killed over 55,000 people in Turkey and Syria, in the worst earthquakes the region has seen in 20 years. We are honoured to have Wing Comander David Hall join us at this year's Edinburgh Anaesthesia Festival (21-23 August) to present and describe the critical care transfer during these horrendous earthquakes. David Hall is a Royal Air Force Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia based in Edinburgh. He has extensive experience of critical care and aeromedical transfer. In 2023 he was appointed to the new role of Chief of Staff for UK military critical care.

Also a summary of the @TheBMA report
I believe we train some of the best, safest, most holistic, & insightful doctors in the world - increasingly I fear it will be the rest of the world that benefits from us

Did you know the word ‘junior’ in Junior Doctor doesn’t mean young or unqualified
It’s simply the term for any doctor who is not yet a consultant or experienced GP
That includes this 40 year old who’s been a doctor for over 10 years
Please RT if you think everyone should know

Dear Stacey,
Thanks for so gracefully and selflessly showing us your beautiful body in its true, glowing real-ness. Thank you for posting your glorious beach snaps, knowing they would be snapped up by the body-obsessed press, and knowing this would only do so much good. Thank you for bringing back joy, for the ancient, beloved essence, of the female form. Reminding us what is important. Thank you for being a role model to your daughters and to many other daughters, who will desperately need this image to be available when their moment of weakness hits. When they feel ‘less than’ in their own skin. Thank you for braving the critics, to lead the wave of change. And most of all, thank you, for making me feel empowered to embrace myself as the season of ‘showing more skin’ approaches. You have my gratitude. I will follow your lead. @StaceySolomon #staceysolomon #bodypositivity
