Email [email protected] for the Teams link to the listening event tomorrow, 1st Nov at 7pm.
Looking forward to hearing from #ICM trainees undertaking academic roles at the first “listening event” tomorrow! Hosted by @TRICNetwork, @drdhruvparekh @FICMNews; we’re eager to hear about everyone’s experience and to start working on how we can help.

Replying to @19 @drdhruvparekh
The aim of the session is to gather info from ICM academic trainees, hear about issues related to integrating academic and clinical training, and hopefully answer some of the questions that have already been sent to @MitoExplorer.

I’ve heard there is huge amount of variation around the country, lots of challenges. Want to hear about these and things that work have gone well. I know I’ve faced some for our trainees and we want to understand and hopefully improve

And we're off! The first patient has been recruited to the trial at Musgrove Park hospital in Taunton. Thank you to the entire team there for working so hard to achieve this. A great day for the trial and fantastic news for the South West. Only 16,499 more to go!

First session at #pspp21 coming up soon! Important topics! Benefits and risks of EPR, chronobiology and it’s implications and learning from excellence and well-being @emmaplunkett @MitoExplorer @cheeseydoc @LfEcommunity @CPOC_News – at Islington, London

Really enjoyed being part of this project and a timely publication looking at why some patients do badly in ICU.
So great to see our ICU work in print with mitochondria taking centre stage! Amazing work by @MitoExplorer. Such a privilege to be involved! @andrewmurray78 @deoxyexplorer @julesgrif sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Could #ICU survival depend on your #cells, #mitochondria, #energy #metabolism & your #resilience to #stress? Fantastic news seeing this important & fascinating #research #published. Well done @andrewmurray78 @deoxyexplorer @mike_grocott @dr_katieOB & particularly @MitoExplorer
Wonderful (and timely) to see our ICU work in print. An incredible effort on the part of @MitoExplorer and great collaboration with @XtremeEverest friends including @deoxyexplorer sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This is a wonderful paper: survivors of critical illness identified by changes in mitochondrial bio energetics NOT inflammatory markers (obviously!)

Super-exciting data @deoxyexplorer @MitoExplorer @dr_katieOB @andrewmurray78 "Critical illness is associated with rapid, specific & coordinated alterations in cellular respiration, metabolism & redox response - different trajectories in survivors & non-survivors." @XtremeEverest
We are so excited to share what we've discovered about cellular responses to #criticalillness in humans, with evidence for cellular hypoxic adaptation under life-threatening stress @dr_katieOB @andrewmurray78 @deoxyexplorer @XtremeEverest sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
