I think the term ‘knowledge broker’ is an interesting one - to me the ‘broker’ element always has tones of ‘closing the deal’ which might be a bit limiting - what do people think?

The invisible work of knowledge brokers
Critically important for building capacity for knowledge exchange, it's vital we recognise and understand their contributions

Thanks @drlindadykes.bsky.social for drawing attention to the ‘intertwined downward spiral’. Some days that spiral feels like a vortex, from a patient perspective. Spent today arbitraging primary, secondary care and pharmacy trying to get urgent ‘out of stock’ medication. Insulin vials. Failed.
Ironically the success of admission-avoidance schemes is being hamstrung by fragmentation & pressure in primary care (see Rebecca Payne & colleagues’ recent paper) which is also contributing to primary and secondary care being dragged into an intertwined downward spiral. n/3

Pleased to see @bmj.com taking a second look at our paper on patient safety - such an important topic
The BMJ desk-rejected our paper on safety in remote consultations. It later won Research Paper of the Year Award. Now BMJ is publishing a ‘hot pick’ summary of our findings written by someone else. Ah well, so long as the word gets out I guess! @bmj.com

Hello Dan - nice to see you here!
Thanks for this article, Dana. Quite worrying when AI starts inventing its own medical consultation notes, isn’t it? It’s also so difficult to get mistakes on medical notes corrected, in my experience :/
AI can make errors when integrated into healthcare systems.
...but so do humans.
We don't have good processes to correct these errors for humans or AIs.
Some thoughts based on three different clinical encounters as a patient, where my clinician(s) used AI - or not.

Hi Alyssa - thanks for posting this @pumptasticscot.bsky.social - a useful summary and a great chart from @dsnforumuk.bsky.social
I have made a post about how to compare hybrid closed loop insulin pump systems! It can be hard to make an informed decision whilst comparing the different systems, and DSN Forum UK have made a handy chart to do this.

This is great for finding people!
You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

You’re right, Tim, this is a huge development, making a recommendation for clinicians to support those using open-source closed-loop. Amazing, indeed!
Just wow..... To see work coming out to this and being recognized is beyond amazing......
The ADA Journal has released the Standards of care in 2025.
To everyone that has been working on this effort, thank you!

Created a Starter Pack for top medical journals on Bluesky. As more journals join, it will be updated, but to keep it manageable, the list is capped at 20. I’ll repost it with every major update.

I love the ‘advanced technology is just like magic’ quotation - magical ✨ was the word I used at 3am the first night I watched a hybrid closed-loop system do my ‘keep my child alive at night’ job. Then the alarms started going off and it was more like the tech ‘giveth’ and ‘taketh away’ quotation!
What is your favorite critical technology quote?
We have a list of quotes from Thoreau to MLK to Douglas Adams to Safiya Noble. Educators can use the activity to help students start thinking more critically about technology: www.civicsoftechnology.org/technology-q...

Amazing job, Miles and great support from @jsmhoughton.bsky.social You must have had to eat a lot of jelly beans! I loved your video - and the great tech that supported you all the way #medtech
My son has #T1Diabetes and raised over £2,000 walking the #YorkshireThreePeaks for a fab charity Life for a Child who provide support for #T1D kids in under resourced countries.
He’s a massive #lufc fan as well!
He’d love you to check out his YouTube video of the walk! 👇

Reposting @poemplaynovel.bsky.social request - SugarPixel glucose alarm clocks are REALLY loud - and I think there are bedmats you can rig up. We put vibrating phone on a metal box and it wakes me from next room #T1D and #hearingloss in this house, so really understand your concern!
#t1d help please - anyone have a problem with sleeping through their diabetes alarms?
It’s so loud - I don’t understand how my son doesn’t wake up!
Hoping there is a solution as I’m sure my son won’t live with us forever…
