As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

This brilliant video by singer Chris Cron deserves its own applause (he’s on Instagram), but it also reminds us how astonishingly good Queen were as songwriters and musicians. The melody, harmony, and lyrical flair are all elite — and this isn’t even one of their Top 5 most downloaded songs!

I love the medial needle insertion approach to the IPACK block. Have you tried it?
I find it
Faster,
Easier to perform
Easier to see the needle

But you must take care not to puncture long saphenous.

Brexit dividend: our swimming waters are MUCH more polluted than any EU country's because we no longer have to follow EU environmental law since Brexit so water companies can get away with just about anything.

(Just one of many pesky EU rules Brexiters hated.)

Needling for the axillary approach to the brachial plexus block. Not the greatest block / result, just what i'm pondering along the way. Sorry for the delay!

"…doctors had been turned into "factory workers" in an effort to deliver ever-increasing productivity."

A NHS doctor dies by suicide every 3 weeks.

A nurse attempts suicide daily.

Last year I participated in a webinar co-hosted by @ra-uk.org, @rcoanews.bsky.social & @bjajournals.bsky.social

I spoke on the evolution of facial plane blocks.

Check it out here.

Warning ⚠️- It features mention of the ESP block!

It’s about 25 mins. Enjoy

The next video instalment is for how to scan and identify the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, or lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.

Useful for hip surgery incisions, or skin graft harvesting sites.

Enjoy!
