Salma Hashim talking about the challenge of sepsis screening tools for CYP So difficult to find a tool that works Next step working on interplay with national #PEWS NICE tool used but another from Academy of Medical Royal Colleges - what’s best? #APEM #RCPCH24

5 hrs into chicken pox isolation…was a all ready to be the caring mum looking after the poorly child. Instead i have a hyperactive 3yr old on my hands who won’t give me five mins to play with his younger brother! 12 years as a paediatrician did not prepare me for this🤪

What’s that? You’d like a year of working (and learning) split between EM and PHEM? Well, here’s just the thing for you: tinyurl.com/bdscvrbk 12 month fellow posts - 6/12 EM in Sheffield and 6/12 PHEM with @LNAACT, starting August 2024. Well worth a look 👀

Today is World Diabetes Day. There are good days and there are bad days, but no matter how hard it gets you are more than your condition and it doesn’t define you. #WorldDiabetesDay #Diabetes

Watching Bake off extra slice in the background whilst on phone and feeding child 2…. Ie not really paying attention. Dexcom G7 advert comes on. The demonstration of the early hypo alarm made me jump! Normally that’s reserved for mid morning or middle of the night- not 8pm #cgm

Thanks to the #kindness of the fellow passengers on the @northernassist/@EastMidRailway on our three train journey between Sheffield and Luton last night! Myself, the 3yr old, 7wk old and a buggy all made it down in one piece. Do wish there was a 1 stop/ direct option still tho!

Inadequate health visiting provision has led to gaps in care for children and heaped pressure on acute services, senior clinicians have told HSJ.

🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training. At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from @RCoANews

This is terrible. As someone who’s “only unwell when pregnant” & had multiple prescriptions last time and is heading for countless more this time, the cost would be extortionate. Response from DOH poor. Guidance only exists if your professional told you. theguardian.com/society/2023…

Pregnant women are entitled to free medication, but without a maternity exemption certificate they face bills of hundreds of pounds
