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!

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 be attending the Leading Edge Neurology course @UCLIoN today. Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting new ones!

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!

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?

Applying for #neurology training this round?

Don't miss this informative recorded webinar by @ABNTrainees & @NeuroPBL on the new curriculum

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?

🔥 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

2022❓

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!

Amazing weather in the most beautiful #Edinburgh welcomed the participants of the 9th @ESOstroke research workshop today. But there are no regrets about staying indoors when the talks & the discussions are so engaging!

This time last month I ran down the busy high street of Fort William, having set off from Glasgow 60 hrs earlier.

This was the finish line of #WestHighlandWay and my toughest mountain #run to date!

3 days
160km/99.5mi
3651m elev⛰️

What an experience!
Dream big & go for it 😉

Last night. Scoring myself 10/10 for the best spot 🤩
January 20, 2025 at 3:45 PM
The first week of neurology reg consults done & feels so good to be finally in my chosen speciality! ♥️🧠

Even then, it could have easily been overwhelming if not for the support & super warm welcome from the neuro dep @WaltonCentre

I'm actually looking forward to Monday!🤫

What an epic day last Saturday!

Kong Lakes #Ultramarathon
15h/ 3000m elev/ 60km🏃‍♀️⛰️

From #Catbells, via Great Gable, to #Helvellyn back to Keswick

Many thanks to @KongRunning for the brilliant organisation, superhero marshalls and the best #ultra route in the #Lakes.

Demystifying atraumatic LP needles today - as much fun as the pic shows

No one likes changing what they're used to, but it's high time for "yes, we can!" at the Walton Centre. 💪

What's the UK experience elsewhere?

If you wondered whether I'm still alive...

I'm proud to report that last Sunday I completed my first ultramarathon!

Finishing a mountain race has been a childhood dream and 50+ km of rain and mud could not take away my joy. Lesson - if you want it, hell yeah, just go for it!

And finally, a great end to @theABN_Info conference with our own @WaltonCentre consultant Rhys Davis cracking the CPC case (Nasu-Hakola disease 🤯) whilst L'pool registrar Gash Mbizvo wins the prize for the best platform presenter! 👏
