It’s been SO much work by our board member Dr Sim West over so long I can’t even remember exactly when we started this!!

But very exciting the @ra-uk.org app is launching 🤩

Join up for full access (a bargain!) and also for discount on #RAUK25 registration 👇

At 0.5% ish (or higher) incidence it would be a huge number of cases. NAPs traditionally are for looking at much rarer complications. You’d imagine there must be data already but only found one study on a quick look (didn’t search long!)

Cleaning out some filing cabinets…(finding all sorts of old stuff!)

Anyway, found this addressed to the ‘Amnesia Dept’ at Toronto Western 🤣. Maybe not the worst typo to be fair but still…

In a review in @anaesjournal.bsky.social I did with @elboghdadly.bsky.social and others we made a little table to try and make people think about the various risk factors

I still think the safe doses are useful as rough guide but as you say lots of other considerations

Not long now until #RAUK25 bookings open - stay tuned!

Looking forward to the amazing @noolslucas.bsky.social as Bruce Scott lecturer, our joint session with @oaa-anaes.bsky.social and our @bjajournals.bsky.social BJA Ed lectures also

Reminiscing about #RAUKISURA22, #RAUK23 and #RAUK24 meantime..
