Glorious weekend in God’s Own Country.
We’ve had a bit of a hiatus but the L5 Learning Board is back up and running after our migration/exodus from that other place.
As always the content and variety is driven by conversations with our terrific resident doctors.
And I always keep learning too.

If anyone is in need of a clever, witty, character-driven murder mystery to clear their head, I cannot recommend this enough.
It has provided several evenings of pure joy chez Thomson.

Looking forward to employing some natural healing during the rest of the summer.

Incredible scenes with high drama at times at our mock inquests for our Northwestern Registrars in Geriatric medicine @SafetyCentral in Cheshire.
Real life scenarios with a real Coroner.
Invaluable learning & great fun for all involved.

Live scenes during our mock inquests @SafetyCentral today. High drama, emotion & controversy (and some terrific acting) as our NW Registrars in Geriatric Medicine are put through their paces by a local Sr Coroner.
Invaluable training experience for all.

Amazing three days of music-making culminating in last night’s spectacular Sea Symphony performance with the UoM Chorus and Symphony Orchestra.
The view from the rehearsal/cheap seats on Saturday afternoon 😉 and the view from the audience that evening.
The endorphin hit rivals little else.

Our L5 October Learning Board points covering a variety of GIM and (to the horror of some) re-visiting the anatomy of the shoulder, a common source of problems.
The shoulder that is. Not anatomy. 😬

As I continue my foray into Bluesky, here’s the September L5 Learning Board.
I’d observe that the quality and variety of material is proportionate to that of the residents, and we’ve a terrific bunch just now 😊
