Up in Glasgow this week for the #RCEMasc @RCollEM, come and check out my stall while you're here and learn more about cold water immersion, rescue technique and communicating with the drowning patient... here's my work for anyone that can't make it!
Imagine being told you have 3 weeks before starting your new job to find a place to live - in a city or town you've never been to before. It's unreasonable. It's unacceptable. It's unfair.
Hundreds of UK final year medical students have been told by their foundation schools that they could only get three weeks notice of what hospital and city they will start working in.....🧵
Great to know that our regulator will allow behaviours ranging from committing sexual assault to spreading harmful misinformation about vaccines, but to speak out about the climate crisis, the greatest threat to human health, is where @gmcuk draws the line.

More claims being made for cold water immersion on local radio. Note, the definitive science hasn't been done, the evidence is anecdotal and it is potentially dangerous. By all means do it, but understand the risks & benefits & proceed with caution. bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/23/…
Really excited to speak about this on Thursday. Don’t miss out - link to free tickets in quote tweet ⬇️
Hey medical students! 🩺 Exciting news - we've teamed up with @the_mdu for a free webinar on 'The Medical Student and The Self' led by Dr. Michael Harding (retired GP) and his grandson Leo Datnow (fourth-year medical student). Join us to explore discussions on holism, embracing…
Medical school culture will suggest a weekend spent with my brother 3 weeks before exams is a terrible idea, but one thing I’ve learnt at medical school it’s that I won’t spend my life putting exams before the people I care about. There’s so much more to life than studying.
We've teamed up with @DoctorsDistress to chat to Dr Michael Harding (retired GP) and Leo Datnow (fourth-year student), about understanding your capabilities and limitations as a med student. Online | 28 March | 12.30-1.30pm Register: ow.ly/LCPH50QFxHj
Chemical Restraint of the Agitated Patient It's one of the most dangerous things we do, for patients and for providers. Here's how to avoid the major pitfalls... A thread... 🧵

Cold Water Immersion Benefits and Risks — Professor Mike Tipton, MBE...
Thrilled to be presenting my cold water research and rescue tool @ThePhySoc Drowning Prevention and Treatment Conference with #IDRA next Thursday. Don't let it float by, registration to attend is free and closes on the 6th October: physoc.org/events/drownin…
Mind-boggling advice from NICE - to use injections of sterile water for pain relief for labouring women. One of the studies cited seriously has sterile water as its active arm &, er, salty water as placebo😳 (ref below). *When* will my profession take women's pain seriously?
Shame on you @NICEComms. Agreeing that healthcare professionals can offer pseudoscientific pain relief to women in labour is nothing short of a scandal. Shame on you. New NICE intrapartum guidelines nice.org.uk/guidance/ng235 1/
A lot of hard work by @sophhmacdonald on an analysis of the access to PHEM critical care across the UK - since the last review in 2012 there still remains geographical and diurnal variation #PHEM #HEMS
Some excellent outputs from @QMUL @IofPHC @PHMBSc dissertations at @RCEMevents Annual Scientific Conference - phenomenal work and engaging posters that disseminate key information #PHEM #RCEMasc
As the 10th cohort of @PHMBSc start their Applied Sciences module, some of our 9th cohort have been presenting posters on their dissertations at #RCEMasc in Glasgow - great work Sophie, Jonny and Leo! Huge thanks to all @IofPHC and @PHMBSc for making this possible

Don’t be too nice to drowning people!!! ⬇️
Having our own personal poster presentation delivered by the author @LeoDatnow What a fascinating study and do we need to change what teach the public? @SaviourMedical This led to a conversation about the fascinating @SkiedConference with @suzythain
I did a medical degree in 3 years 7 months. Here's why I think 4 year medical degrees as standard is a truly AWFUL idea.
Nobody should lose their life due to lack of access to equipment. That’s why we’ve committed to supplying 18,000 state-funded schools with a life-saving defibrillator. Today, every secondary school in England has this vital equipment.
Today marks a milestone moment in our roll-out of life saving defibrillators. As part of a £19 million plan, all eligible secondary schools now have a defibrillator and all state-funded schools requiring one, will receive one by the end of the academic year.
