The Lakes looking lovely today despite the weather!

Not that for one minute saying that nurses pay is high though!

A band 7 nurse earns more than a resident doctor until they have worked at least 4 years. If you look at “unsocial”hourly rates it’s even worse.

@thetimes.com Edwina Currie needs to get her facts right on resident doctor pay. She says they are paid less than nurses, actually not true. There are nurses who are paid more than doctors (not all). PAs also paid more than many doctors. Most patients will see resident Drs when in hospital. @bma

Anybody here heading to Helsinki for #ESPGHAN25 ? What sessions are you looking forward to attending?

AI has its uses, but im not sure the symbols it’s suggesting for my presentation are that helpful….

Sorry I’m the wrong Anna Pigott (who would think there was more than one of us with this name!)

Hi @bmj.com
Can you add a Bluesky share button instead of the X button you have please?

Proud to show Dr Vin Diwaker and colleagues from NHSE innovation around Staffordshire Children’s Hospital @ Royal Stoke last week

Just checked out X. The first 17 of the first 18 posts were from a certain man in the US I don’t even follow. Just so wrong.

Feeling blessed that I had a wonderful day celebrating with my family yesterday. Today a lazy breakfast with mum, a long walk, coffee then finished a great book with a slice of Christmas cake. Catching up on TV tonight with cold turkey and chutney. Lovely Boxing Day!

Great night for Wigan at BBC Sports Personality of the Year!

In paeds we’ve had our worst winter for 5 years in terms of attendances/admissions. I think winter for adults is not going to be great if it follows our trend…

I got to be a camel!

#IBD #Transition clinic today between UHNM and MCFT. Mixture of pride, sadness and satisfaction for most of the patients I have managed from diagnosis in childhood to mostly well grown independent adults. Process isn’t perfect, and always things to learn, but despite dreadful IT issues a good clinic

Oh no. Hope she gets some relief from the pain. She’s having such a terrible time.

Oh no. So sorry. Hope things are better for her.

Diagnostic accuracy of three mpox lateral flow assays for antigen detection in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the United Kingdom Background The ongoing outbreaks of mpox, the disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) highlight the urgent need for a rapid and low-cost MPXV diagnostic test to accurately detect and control mpox dis...

We evaluated some commercially available lateral flow antigen tests designed to detect Monkeypox virus in people with suspected Mpox disease. They are not very good, and a negative test result posses a high risk of false reassurance. doi.org/10.1101/2024... . Doing this require huge team work.

I’m new here! I had such a lovely afternoon tea at Peckforton Castle to celebrate a recent birthday, I thought I’d share a pic. Anyone who watched Worst Witch might recognise the corridor!

I commonly get A&G queries about eosinophilia in childhood, and am usually reassuring that it doesn’t require monitoring. I’ll add a line to ask about foreign travel after reading this…

My sister thought the pneumococcal vaccine was the New McCockle vaccine and wondered why she had never heard of the old one.

If the rash starts blistering then again I’d get her seen over the weekend. Sounds rotten.

I wouldn’t stop suddenly, as I would think that would potentially risk a seizure. I’d probably go back to the previous dose. If she has worsening symptoms then 111 to get someone to look at the rash.

You convinced me to give it a go! Thanks x
