Clinical lecturer in Respiratory Medicine, University of Nottingham.

Weird hybrid of scientist and clinician. Co-owner of two children. Lover of cheese and cake (and cheesecake).
This August marks the start of my 12th year as an SpR (with a PhD, an attempt at PI-ing, and some offspring happening along the way). A colleague reminded me that I am an “elder” trainee, and I realised I have now become the subject of this Tweet. #winning #FML

I'm no longer interested in hearing about the patient's NEWS.

Give me their VIBES instead...

V – Vitals (HR, RR, BP, Temp, Sats)

I – Inspired oxygen

B – Behaviour (alertness, agitation, new confusion)

E – Escalation risk (triggers for concern)

S – Stability (improving, static, deteriorating)

The womeninmalefields trend is flipping the script on things said to and about women, including in MedSky, to highlight their absurdity.

This hits home hard (DOI took years to feel back on my feet after mat leave 1, then straight onto mat leave 2)
As I’ve become older I’ve realised more how experience can be different as a female in any “career track” particularly when it comes to family planning, and would have such different advice for young women wanting families and a career now!
