At the @reformparty_uk conference, @DrAseemMalhotra made a number of claims about Covid vaccines, some of which were misleading or simply not backed by any credible evidence. We’ve fact checked a few of his claims 👇

Data quality is important in computerised medical records. Coding acute respiratory infections (ARI) is important if @clininf are going to identify winter pressures, outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics. @RCGP @OxPrimaryCare @UKHSA How do do it right eurosurveillance.org/content…

Woooah… this is a very smart/evil scam. The web savvy will immediately spot the dodgy email address, but I bet plenty won’t.

Tried a few QOF queries. It knows about protected indicator, and why the registers aren't really protected. Not quite so strong on exception reporting.
And just for fun -
ALT Certainly! Here's a limerick about Primary Care Networks. In England the GPs unite In networks they find their delight With teamwork so grand They heal and they plan For patients they fight the good fight

YOUNG PEOPLE
Remember the rules on photo ID introduced by the current govt mean ONLY people aged >60 can use travel cards, bus passes etc to vote.
If you are a young person you CANNOT use your photo travel card or bus pass as photo ID to vote.

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!
The law is as follows.
1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you.
2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote.
3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day.

‘I am not sure why there is this “income protection” thing rather than just amending QOF. I suppose that they are keeping their options open for next year. This feels like a holding position!’ says Dr Gavin Jamie @qofdatabase. Read the full analysis bit.ly/3uVkLW5

Notified today that my insulin pump controller has a bug where the leading decimal point will be dropped, ie: changing a dose of .21 units to 21 units. I can reproduce randomly ~1 in 5 times so probably a race condition. Easily one of the worst software bugs I have ever heard of.
