My #RAUK25 confession…

I’m an avid #LFC fan & made up we’ve won our 20th League Title 🏆🔴🎉

Another account I am highlighting for a #BlueskyBoost & must follow is @drnavbahal.bsky.social

Can’t believe he doesn’t have 100,000 followers.

Do it! Click to follow
Let’s admit it, having substantially less followers here than on X is limiting folk coming over. Let’s help those who want more followers & engagement here by reposting & sharing their account. I’ve even got a badge you can use. Let’s call it the #BlueskyBoost campaign!! Totally unofficial of course

Has your dept removed Oxycodone MR drugs from your practice? If so, what have you replaced it with. If not, what info is being provided to patients about using off license?

👏 A good day for the Faculty of Pain Medicine as well as the myriad of stakeholders, authors, clinicians and laypeople saying the same for so long

We’re live!

Dr Naomi Freeman starts our #IWD2025 morning

☺️ 64% of medical students are female
😕 But only 38% of Consultants in anaesthesia
