Pleasure to host @Abtirsit, @TariqNeurosurg & @keepark at our monthly @GlobalBrainHea1 platform.

Many great points for #neurology to learn from, incl. technology use, workforce upskilling & injury prevention.

Time to join x-specialty forces in our advocacy for #BrainHealth🤝

#Neurology IGAP symposium @HarvardPGSSC

Brilliant discussions chaired by @CamillaAukrust @keepark on making #GlobalBrainHealth an agenda priority. We need all hands on deck: neurology, #neurosurgery, psych, peads.

Look forward to further #collaboration with our @GlobalBrainHea1

Thank you @EANeurology for inviting me to present our international survey! Very positive reception & delighted to finally meet collaborators in person. Great learning, networking and catching up with friends and yes, I did manage to squeeze in some sightseeing, too!

Last stop before Boston: ✈️

Budapest - the home of 2023 @EANeurology Congress!

I'm presenting our collaborative #COVID-#Neurology study tomorrow at 6:45 - do drop in to room Budapest to learn more and say hi!

Last shift in Liverpool!

Three years flew by: through global pandemic, relentless rota, new hospital site, and becoming a med reg in the process!

Learnt plenty & met inspiring people.

But now I'm ready for the next stage: MPH at Harvard Chan!

I've really enjoyed catching up with @Melibeus in this new episode of @NPodcases on @encephalitis!

Aimed at juniors, we go off script to answer some of my burning questions...

When can the CSF PCR be false -ve?🧪
Does having cold sores⬆️your risk?

Great end to the @AoPgbi #APAM2023 with a 🧠 #Neurology symposium inc. a strong representation from @LivUni_IVES.

First, Gash Mbizvo on risks for death in epilepsy and then @gkwood3 with first results of the multicentre @covidcns study. 👏👏

Brilliant talks, views and networking opportunities at @AoPgbi #APAM2023 at the Liverpool's Spine.

One overarching message:

We need to not only protect the #NHS but also the future of clinical academics in it.

Interface of healthcare and research is where innovation happens.

Excited to win a resident scholarship to present our international #COVID #Neurology Survey at the European Academy of Neurology Congress!

With 146 clinicians from 45 countries, we aimed to standardise covid-neuro definitions for clinical research.

See you in Budapest in July!

Excited to be attending the Leading Edge Neurology course @UCLIoN today. Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting new ones!
January 20, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Delighted to have been awarded the Frank Knox fellowship to study at @HarvardChanSPH.

No better stepping stone for a future PhD in dementia prevention.

Can't wait for July!

Good luck to everyone interviewing for the UK #Neurology training today and tomorrow!

I hope you pick the most interesting specialty out there 🧠 🔎

(Feel free to pm if you're not sure which one that is, I will provide honest answer 😉)

We've had such a great session today with @GlobalBrainHea1 @Neurobella @BenedictNeuro & attendees from all over the🌍

The chat kept buzzing with ideas on improving #neurology health coverage 💡

How about you?
Have you heard of the WHO neuro IGAP? ⬇️

📢 Today, 2PM!

Join me and a fantastic panel of four experts as we explore ways towards global neurological health coverage! 🧠

Huge challenge, many solutions, no action too small.

Almost 50% of patients with @encephalitis have at least one missed diagnostic opportunity.

Think
🧠 behaviour change
🧠 seizures
🧠 focal neurology

Wearing #RED4WED today to spread awareness of this devastating but treatable condition.

Nice and succinct reminder on how to spot bad science⬇️

Discussed today at the @LivuniILCaMS lunchtime seminar with Prof. Gregory Lip

The original source is http://www.compoundchem.com - love their chemistry infographics! 😍Is there something similar for #medicine?

Great feedback from this weekend's #NeuroPACES @WaltonCentre - the only #neurology specific prep for #MRCP

Always so humbled by our patients who give up time & demonstrate their neurological signs because "doctors got to learn"

Training update

2022 #Neurology comp ratio 1.65 is the LOWEST on the record

2022 Neurology fill rate is only 84% (100% for most specialties)

Why make neurologists train in #GIM if there won't be enough of us to look after neurological conditions, let alone acute medical take?
January 20, 2025 at 3:40 PM
🔥 UK Specialty Training

2020 was the last year to enter #neurology training before mandatory dual accreditation with gen med #GIM

2021 was the first year when the competition ratio was higher for neurophysiology than for neurology

Really enjoyed our annual @LivUni @NIHRresearch fellows catch up at the Spine today.

Speaking to colleagues from other fields is so important - it gives new perspectives on our projects and the universal challenges of early career researchers.

Thanks @LivuniIcat for organising!
