My employer (illegally) questioned the validity of my sick note after my wife was in ITU and our son in NICU. If @NHSPracHealth hadn’t been there to support me I would have been bullied back to work. Employers cannot be trusted with our wellbeing.

An important part of what we do @EvelinaLondon is training future paediatric cardiologists
Cardiology training is 5 years in addition to core paeds, but with excellent #juniordoctors like Dr Ronel Talker, the future of the specialty is bright

Medicine is full of perfectionists, but unfortunately medicine isn't perfect. Please be kind to yourself.
Video chats are different from our IRL interactions and it’s okay to have a break too. @techreview technologyreview.com/s/61543…

This rare footage of workers at MI6 during WW2 has been hidden for 75 years
But the piece of film was anonymously donated, providing an insight where cameras were banned and everything was top secret
What happens when you have no clinical background information available for your patient? What if there was a national database for discharge summaries held on the Summary Care Record? Clear, concise and available patient information = safety and efficiency.

You can get better, faster treatment by choosing the NHS service that can best treat your symptoms. This also helps the NHS by reducing the pressure on services like A&E so that they can help those people in most need. More info: bit.ly/2Gg3w7N
We don’t really use faxes that regularly and my trust has already banned them, but in broader terms how are we upgrading our clinical communication methods? Email doesn’t always cut it, pagers and bleeps are outdated and expensive. digitalhealth.net/2018/12/nh…

Reminds me of similar experiences moving from paperless to electronic health records at Addenbrooke's and at Barnet Hospital. Lots of benefits but some new challenges. Once we're through the transition it will be a great opportunity. bit.ly/2JCw1uz
