Wow UK British Medical association calls for new regulator given how compromised GMC is activism.bma.org.uk/page/172664/...
As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social unless you have a way to justify this?
I think it is evident that we have already brought the conversation to BlueSky! In an environment plagued by scientific misinformation, do medical organisations/journals have a moral imperative to remain, to provide a source of truth & reason? Or should they just.. leave? Let's discuss. #AnSky
Nicholas Chrimes@chrimesy.com · last yr.Huge respect to @anzca.bsky.social for leaving Twitter behind. Time for other health related organisations to do the same.

Evening Brisbane! Hectic circuit from Cairns-Melbourne-Brisbane for @etmcourse.bsky.social Next three days will be challenge attendees with scenarios of increasing complexity…which will become easier due to training in generic resus room skills - role allocation - closed loop - next 3 steps
In the #impostersyndrome we discount what we know and inflate what we think other people know. You know more than you think. Others know less than you think. You're not an imposter. #impostersyndrome #phdchat #ECRchat #PhdForum
So much this Thanks @drglauco.bsky.social Thoughts on American healthcare, insurance and accessibility….
This paper on BIS in @bjajournals.bsky.social (study done right here in Cairns) is one of my all time favourites. Administration of NMBA alone drops BIS to 44 in completely awake subjects! #ASM25CNS academic.oup.com/bja/article/...
Dr Mary-Ann Fox BMBS FANZCA GChPOM@maffygirl.medsky.social · last yr.Next was the amazing Dr Chris Connor who has achieved more by morning tea than all of us in a lifetime. Challenging every notion I had of BIS. I thought the number was rubbish and amazingly I was right. A rare event by me but an inspiring lecture by Chris.

Inspired by posters going up in anaesthetic rooms at @ekhuft.bsky.social, I thought I'd share this again. Error with TIVA is potentially more common, because multiple errors are not yet prevented by the equipment. You can check your working with #PERUSEbeforeYouInfuse . youtu.be/HGtBMHXUVyA?...
Prefer SIRSI “Somewhat indolent rapid sequence induction”
Nose Coloured Glasses@ncglasses.bsky.social · last yr.I'm here Nick. Sadly I agree with all your points. On the use of TCI in RSI : guilty as charged. In my defence I have never called it 'TIVA RSI' and will even concede that maybe I should stop calling it a 'modified RSI'. It's a SRSI (Somewhat Rapid Sequence Induction).
We need to make sure GPs can deliver high-quality care sustainably and aren't under pressure to see more people, more quickly. More targeted funding to support people with chronic, complex conditions is still the most cost-effective way to improve our health system. 3/3
RACGP - RACGP applauds GP workforce commitment in Government’s $8.5 billion Medicare package
The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has applauded the Government’s workforce commitment to train 2,000 new GPs every year by 2028 and incentivise more junior doctors to become specialist GPs, ...

That'll need careful consideration to make sure it's sustainable and funding goes to those who need it most. Extending bulk billing incentives to everyone won't necessarily mean everyone gets bulk billed, because patients' rebates are still too low to cover the cost of care. 2/3

Good to see @anzca.bsky.social continuing to lead the way and move from Twitter/ X to this platform. This is the new home of medical information on social media. @AnSky @MedSky
Benefits of physician-paramedic for prehospital critical care demonstrated in this neat study www.youtube.com/watch?app=de... In geographically vast Australia it takes time for teams to arrive to rural/remote incidents We need rural responder networks to support ambulance in rural Oz

Sethina Watson@sethina.bsky.social · 2y agoChristmas holiday challenge for you! Just been on a run and saw at least 5 defibrillators. How many @gwaac.bsky.social or other defibrillators can you see? These might one day save the life of someone you know. These ones provided by our local air ambulance #defibrillator #heartstarter
We're saddened by the passing of ANZCA fellow Dr Di Khursandi. We send our condolences to Dr Khursandi's family, friends and colleagues. Di was a trailblazer, a champion for women and equity, a passionate advocate for the welfare and wellbeing of clinicians and a very proud and committed fellow.
The @rcoa is to be congratulated on navigating the treacherous path defining scope of practice for Anaesthesia Associates via -huge surveys of opinion -aiding #Nap7 analysing real life practice -Cochrane review -professional liaison/listening -pragmatic approach to patient safety & existing AAs 1/2

Australia and New Zealand will soon follow in the UK's footsteps to have widespread adoption of PAs, and maybe even AAs. It looks inevitable. A not-so-brief thread 🧵on how we got here and why I think this is a bad idea. #MedSky #AnSky 1/n
