The antiquated @rcphysicians.bsky.social voting rules, mean as a member & not a fellow (despite being on the New Consultants Committee) I don’t get a vote in the elections. If I did I would put my vote towards:
Asif Qasim
@drlkvaughan.bsky.social
@copddoc.bsky.social
Ollie Minton
Really pleased to share that the @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social academic board have awarded me the title of Honorary Associate Professor 🥳
Disappointed to read the BMA coms of unilateral withdrawal of HST applications as a result of the @mrcpuk.bsky.social debacle. Unacceptable. The RCP statement “that HST applications for affected individuals should not be negatively impacted” needs urgent follow up.
Last two lectures delivered as part of the @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social year 1 respiratory module. As always enjoyable. #RespIsBest
Having not competitively kicked a football since approximately 2013. I made the mistake of agreeing to play 5-a-side Wednesday night. Good morning Thursday and aching muscles I haven’t used in years!
Systemic corticosteroids (SCS) are rife with AE Prof. Bafadhel explains how we can potentially safely use endotypes to reduce the burden of SCS use in exacerbations. #BTSWinter2024
Which individuals with #COPD might respond to biologic therapies. Possibly those on triple therapy & still exacerbating (2.2-2.3/year), mMRC >= 2, BEC >= 300 cells/uL, current or former smoker, SGRQ definition of bronchitis. #BTSWinter2024
The #thamesclippers is my favourite way to travel to the #BTSWinter2024
