www.bbc.com/news/article... The data speaks for itself; this change will mean many more patients can receive the specialist care we can provide and will get more patients home to their family after theyβve suffered significant illness or injury.

Happy International Womenβs Day to all my independent, strong, brave and awesome female family, friends and colleagues from all the different bits of my life I have you in
A rare anaesthetic list back in my old haunt. I still maintain that this takes some beating for a carpark view
When you live up high enough you can see over the dragons breath that everyone else is seeing as fog π

Just saw Northern lights from my garden for the first time, fell asleep last time everyone else saw them and naused me out with their photos, glad theyβve come at a time in keeping with my bedtime this time, ie before 9pm
ITU is full of people who are very sick with flu. Please check out your local vaccination services and if youβre arenβt eligible for a free jab, you can still protect yourself by visiting your local pharmacy and paying a small amount for a flu jab
PHEM/HEMS/Paramedicine/Retrieval Pack 1 is now full. 150 accounts to get you started. Will commence Pack 2 once a few more folk have arrived!

Lisa is a superstar βοΈ WAST are exceptionally lucky to have her
Itβs through! Many hoops to go but at least thereβs a chance we can align with the rest of the western world in offering choice at the end of life. As one terminally ill patient said on the news today, my choice is suicide, Switzerland or suffering, this now gives a better option
www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9... Going to be following this closely today, itβs so close I donβt know how it will fall. Canβt help but think something so important should be voted on by the population rather than just MPs
I reckon everyone could be annualised over 42 wks but with a roughly fixed job pattern but then you wouldnβt need to worry about dropping lists for annual/study leave etc. my anaesthetic lists just get ticked off my total as I do them so at least the dept know theyβre getting their paid work from me
Yeah most of anaesthetic dept have fixed job plans, but a few of us are flexi in week or flexi in year so we kind of fit in around everyone elseβs gaps. I never much do the same list twice (apart from cepod and trauma ) but I donβt mind that and it flexes around my other commitments
For ITU and PHEM, yes weβre all annualised, and Iβm flexi in year for anaesthetics. We just have fair play rules re:school hols, so folk have to have booked annual leave to not be available and to be available for a fair proportion of the holidays. We keep tally of whoβs done Xmas day to even it out
Have had a nice fortnight away from hospital work (hooray for annualised job plan) doing phem shifts, various meetings, teaching trainees and an eclectic selection of cpd events; palliative care, organ donation, emergency preparedness and appraisal to name but a few
My 2020, goddess of chaos, final embryo in the freezer, turns 4 tomorrow , my other baby (the new hospital) turned 4 this weekend, how time flies
Our service is consultant-led, which means we take hospital-standard treatments to the patient and, if required, transfer them directly to the most appropriate hospital for their illness or injury.
This is proven to greatly improve survival and recovery.

Trying to think of a profound first message to post on here but all out of inspiration. 7 day stretch on ITU starting tomorrow after 2 weeks of A/L
