Seconded!
Fantastic television!
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl - An absolute triumph in stop-motion storytelling and the family highlight of the holiday season. Give @aardmananimations.bsky.social all of the gongs this upcoming awards season - the norbots can be set back to evil.

We did our first CT perfusion brain scan at Northumbria today. It felt like a significant occasion.
Hopefully it’ll feel routine in a few months time!

Excited to open the SMART study at Northumbria this week, looking to see if it’s possible to develop a standardised stroke risk assessment for patients referred to TIA clinic with migrainous sounding symptoms.

We should do it much more!

I actually like “BRAIN” even better.

This is a very helpful piece in the @bmj.com from @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social on improving shared decision making in medicine (here specifically, surgery).

When we talk about waiting list numbers, I’d be keen to know whether everyone on them has had a thorough review as described.

Feeling positive and energised after a meeting between ourselves and colleagues at Newcastle to talk about stroke pathways. Lots of shared challenges, but plenty of discussion about how we can work together to tackle them.

Just want to send the two of you some love and respect. I really enjoy the podcast.

The beauty of Twitter was that an account with tons of followers would tweet something whacked about wombats and the world’s leading wombat expert would reply to set the record straight. I think Bluesky has the potential for that.

Interested to follow the plans for single patient records. As a care provider for patients who have records held with multiple different organisations I believe, with appropriate safeguards, this has huge potential to benefit patients and clinicians.

@emmavardy2.bsky.social You’ve been name-checked by Dr Lyon for your work on delirium in Manchester! 😊

Excellent talk on delirium at the RCPE North East Symposium.
“Call it delirium and look for it”.
(Though “subacute befuddlement” is my favourite of the banned diagnoses).

This is what process driven algorithmic medicine does to older people. (This is an obs chart, PR = patient refused). It drives me nuts. How do we stop doing this?
