An honour to have you on the team @VCarterAMR
Johannesburg, South Africa, is where my patient journey of surviving antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) took place.
In November, I had the immense pleasure of joining researchers at @WitsUniversity and @CityStGeorges as part of their community advisory group, contributing to a clinical study called COMBAT Candida.
The study, taking place across several major hospitals in Johannesburg (private and public), focuses on the treatment of Candida bloodstream infections and the growing threat of antifungal resistance.
With the incredible nurses and doctors at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital being the team that saved my life initially at the time of my accident in 2004, it was an immense honour to return, this time as a former patient, contributing to research that matters so deeply to me.

Fungi - kinda a big deal
After 12 years, a comprehensive reassessment of annual incidence of severe fungal disease finds 6.5M affected with 3.7M deaths. ~68% of deaths directly attributable. 2x prior mortality estimate. Lack of suspicion & diagnosis the largest factor in deaths. gaffi.org/media/news/

Are you taking the piss? Because if not, reliance on sputum for TB diagnosis in PLWHIV misses cases found by urine LAM. Are we missing a trick by not having access to this test in the UK? authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Doctors today start on around the same pay I started at in 2008. It wasn’t great then. Now it is a frank insult. Never seen morale and working conditions this low. So sad it’s come to this but what else can we do to save the NHS? #JuniorDoctorsStrikes

This is the last ‘normal’ staffing day in the NHS for the next 10 days. Desperate measures for desperate times. Your doctors are doing this because status quo puts your health at risk and it’s getting worse. Talk to us @SteveBarclay #JuniorDoctorsStrike
