Fantastic piece in @theguardian.com.

Doctors only see part of families' lives after brain injury in childhood, this illuminates a bit more of the other side.

The COLLABORATE trial getting underway in the UK will settle this question once and for all. It's a big one for parents of babies <29 weeks and their clinicians when a supplement to maternal milk is needed.

UK GP practices, who's interested in helping us pilot some training materials for improving patient safety in remote encounters (e.g. patients phoning in or sending e-requests and getting allocated to particular options such as GP callback, in-person appt etc)? Can offer free training to first five!

- Gestational age is not the same as maturity
- Different rates of LtFU across countries looking at neurodevelopment

Just came off the phone with an old colleague, a neonatologist who went into Clinical Pharmacology. She told me about one of the best clinical resources for Neonatologists out there, and it’s free?

Our new video just dropped! Periocardiocentesis under real-time, in-plane ultrasound guidance. Safer, quicker, more convenient. It's boss-level Seldinger-technique, not for the feint of heart, but attainable in the right setting, with the righ plan and right backup.
