I watched Freefall: The Case Against Boeing on Netflix this week, and while it's ostensibly about aviation, I couldn't help but see the uncomfortable parallels with healthcare. The documentary explor...

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

This is fabulous. Table 1 provides age-positive language to replace terms that introduce bias, such as 'geri' or 'demented'. Extra for experts is Table 2, suggesting *processes* towards diagnostic precision instead of catch-alls like 'pleasantly confused'. #MedEd

TABLE 1 Age-negative language and suggested age-positive alternativesTABLE 2 Words that may result in adverse healthcare outcomes through implicit bias, anchoring bias, premature diagnostic closure or ageism. Poor historian Assess for delirium or cognitive impairment; assess hearing and communication; where indicated, seek collateral history. Pleasantly confused Begin with descriptive terms to describe the behaviour, such as 'patient lying in bed without agitation or `'patient not verbally responding to questions'. Then use more precise language to describe the confusional state. For example: • Acute confusion, 'patient might have delirium • Chronic confusion, patient living with dementia • Acute-on-chronic confusion, 'patient experiencing delirium superimposed on dementia' Mechanical fall Use (Fall) as the diagnosis and describe the circumstances of the fall in the setting of extrinsic factors (e.g., contribution to fall of ill-fitting shoes or slippery or uneven surface), or intrinsic factors (e.g., contribution to fall due to cardiogenic syncope), or fall with multifactorial extrinsic and intrinsic contributors Acopia and social admission Describe presenting issues, the older person's comorbidities, degree of frailty, psychosocial context and the caregiver's concerns Celling of care Use the term 'Goals of care' or 'Care preference'

After more than two years of RCN campaigning, today NHS England released corridor care data for the first time, covering hospitals in England. These figures are alarming, and government attention and investment must now be on eradicating corridor care for good. Read the full story ⬇️

Are external reviews meaningful? Every pound spent on the reviews that do not create meaningful change is a pound taken from paitients, services and healthcare professional. We need to be proactive not reactive in healthcare. We need to act before harm occurs! @alisonleary1.bsky.social #rcn26

We desperately need better workforce planning, unions and professional associations could lobby for this collectively. But that doesn't seem realistic currently. Unions privately voice misgivings over BMA pay demands and doctors’ strikes www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
