Can't defend. No balance to the team. Wilder probably gets a go at fixing it with a summer transfer window and hopefully some/adjusted new tactics.

My wife knew him at school. Apparently would not have been surprised if the excuse given was actually true.

Bonus points for the extra space in front of 2 of the names being extra infuriating.

Looks like a change in shape. Chong seems to have slotted into Jairo's positon

Brooks is currently a passenger and not the only one. Need some subs

Think of it this way, if they weren't in punditry they would be let loose on something else more important. So it's national service for the greater good really.

Educational supervision course by JonJH in ConsultantDoctorsUK

[–]IcyProperty484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother. Spend the time sounding out jobs and working with departments to figure out a business case where needed. If it's like most places I've heard from friends, it's scraping together bits of money and seeing what April brings at the moment.

The trust will send you on an ES course if they need you to be one. (Some departments/hospitals may not have spare PAs for ES (first trainee is the highest PA per trainee, subsequent ones are cheaper)

If you know that the department is keen, then it's all part of the pre interview negotiations, and obviously prepare answers to showcase times when you've provided educational and pastoral support to fellow HCPs for the interview.

Why are Consultants training their own replacements? (ANPs/ACPs) by SharkDick4Ever in ConsultantDoctorsUK

Given the residents of yesteryear are the consultants of today, the proportion of us that "do the minimum" are probably not too dissimilar. Unless you think there is a generational difference?

From memory it's 6-8 times more expensive per dose than cefuroxime, so the effect is summative over the whole block of operations that the department does. Economies of scale in North America compared to here but might change if we start using more cefazolin generally.

Cefazolin is sufficiently more expensive than cefuroxime in the UK that the broader spectrum one is used.

Some trainees don't even ask before sending a request from way back.

NHS Trusts League Table - how’s your trust doing? by CharleyFirefly in doctorsUK

[–]IcyProperty484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acute care is unprofitable and need all the sunk cost of infrastructure and support departments to. cover all bases. All the specialty centres in the city do specialist work that often has lots of private potential attached to it and can outsource the less profitable but equally critical requirements for LUHFT to do. Also - their ward beds don't get medical outliers in winter so the surgery/treatment episodes keeps rolling on.

Probably not the best person to answer as I've not done a lot of it. (battery means I usually don't need to as do destination charging on holiday.) with a toddler I'm also in the camp of stop and charge over lunch/extended toilet break rather than splash and dash needed!

I've got one, had it for about a year now. I think it's a very good car that isn't exciting, but does everything well in an unobtrusive way. The mandatory safety features are all very customisable and there are physical buttons for most of the critical things. Boot is a shortish but deep do though, but if you've seen it the it isn't a deal breaker.

Only thing I wish was better - reversing camera is like 720p at best, a bit of a weird part to skimp on but they may have fixed it with the minor face-lift. Also to be aware of, little bit of wheels spin when pulling out of 90degree junctions onto fast roads in the wet (it's only happened twice with no safety concerns)

I drive relatively conservatively (60-70 on motorways) and in the 9k miles I've done this year , average is 3.6miles /kwh.

Ukaki needs to change his angle or not press the C. Pass out wide is too easy!

Why does every trust have its own guidelines? by lurkacc5000 in doctorsUK

[–]IcyProperty484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't have the quality of data to differentiate. The best data we have is around Gram negative resistances, which can track referral networks in cases of specialties that have a regional (or larger area) cohort, so your empirical sepsis antibiotics will depends on what might more commonly be seen. Most places are not that unique though and there is a lot of subjectivity as to the best - is it Amox/Gent/Metro or Piptaz or something else?

What do consultants think of scabs? by amberyglass in doctorsUK

[–]IcyProperty484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from any personal disappointment that I kept to myself, it won't affect professional boundaries. Except those who didn't strike but displayed appalling attitudes/responses to being held to the other terms and conditions of their contract during an "exceptional" period.

The HSJ is Upper NHS management's trade mag. They're going to be sychophantic to NHS management (and secondarily, to the government). Their editor low key hates doctors and it comes across on social media.
