Our @bennettoxford.bsky.social #OpenSAFELY Symposium is underway, with @bengoldacre.bsky.social kicking things off!
Recording soon available @info_TGHN
https://braininfectionsglobal.tghn.org/clinical-exchange/
where you can also catch up on previous sessions!
Pleasure to host @Abtirsit, @TariqNeurosurg & @keepark at our monthly @GlobalBrainHea1 platform.
Many great points for #neurology to learn from, incl. technology use, workforce upskilling & injury prevention.
Time to join x-specialty forces in our advocacy for #BrainHealthπ€
#Neurology IGAP symposium @HarvardPGSSC
Brilliant discussions chaired by @CamillaAukrust @keepark on making #GlobalBrainHealth an agenda priority. We need all hands on deck: neurology, #neurosurgery, psych, peads.
Look forward to further #collaboration with our @GlobalBrainHea1
Thank you @EANeurology for inviting me to present our international survey! Very positive reception & delighted to finally meet collaborators in person. Great learning, networking and catching up with friends and yes, I did manage to squeeze in some sightseeing, too!

Last stop before Boston: βοΈ
Budapest - the home of 2023 @EANeurology Congress!
I'm presenting our collaborative #COVID-#Neurology study tomorrow at 6:45 - do drop in to room Budapest to learn more and say hi!

Last shift in Liverpool!
Three years flew by: through global pandemic, relentless rota, new hospital site, and becoming a med reg in the process!
Learnt plenty & met inspiring people.
But now I'm ready for the next stage: MPH at Harvard Chan!
I've really enjoyed catching up with @Melibeus in this new episode of @NPodcases on @encephalitis!
Aimed at juniors, we go off script to answer some of my burning questions...
When can the CSF PCR be false -ve?π§ͺ
Does having cold soresβ¬οΈyour risk?

Great end to the @AoPgbi #APAM2023 with a π§ #Neurology symposium inc. a strong representation from @LivUni_IVES.
First, Gash Mbizvo on risks for death in epilepsy and then @gkwood3 with first results of the multicentre @covidcns study. ππ
Brilliant talks, views and networking opportunities at @AoPgbi #APAM2023 at the Liverpool's Spine.
One overarching message:
We need to not only protect the #NHS but also the future of clinical academics in it.
Interface of healthcare and research is where innovation happens.
Excited to win a resident scholarship to present our international #COVID #Neurology Survey at the European Academy of Neurology Congress!
With 146 clinicians from 45 countries, we aimed to standardise covid-neuro definitions for clinical research.
See you in Budapest in July!
Excited to be attending the Leading Edge Neurology course @UCLIoN today. Looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting new ones!
Delighted to have been awarded the Frank Knox fellowship to study at @HarvardChanSPH.
No better stepping stone for a future PhD in dementia prevention.
Can't wait for July!
Good luck to everyone interviewing for the UK #Neurology training today and tomorrow!
I hope you pick the most interesting specialty out there π§ π
(Feel free to pm if you're not sure which one that is, I will provide honest answer π)
We've had such a great session today with @GlobalBrainHea1 @Neurobella @BenedictNeuro & attendees from all over theπ
The chat kept buzzing with ideas on improving #neurology health coverage π‘
How about you?
Have you heard of the WHO neuro IGAP? β¬οΈ
https://redcap.link/ovgyy2o1
π’ Today, 2PM!
Join me and a fantastic panel of four experts as we explore ways towards global neurological health coverage! π§
Huge challenge, many solutions, no action too small.

Almost 50% of patients with @encephalitis have at least one missed diagnostic opportunity.

Wearing #RED4WED today to spread awareness of this devastating but treatable condition.

Nice and succinct reminder on how to spot bad scienceβ¬οΈ
Discussed today at the @LivuniILCaMS lunchtime seminar with Prof. Gregory Lip

Great feedback from this weekend's #NeuroPACES @WaltonCentre - the only #neurology specific prep for #MRCP
Always so humbled by our patients who give up time & demonstrate their neurological signs because "doctors got to learn"

You're eligible for a free @ESOstroke membership!
I've just signed up - the benefits include discounted #ESO Conference (Munich, May 2023) and 45 learning modules!π

Training update
2022 #Neurology comp ratio 1.65 is the LOWEST on the record
2022 Neurology fill rate is only 84% (100% for most specialties)
Why make neurologists train in #GIM if there won't be enough of us to look after neurological conditions, let alone acute medical take?
π₯ UK Specialty Training
2020 was the last year to enter #neurology training before mandatory dual accreditation with gen med #GIM
2021 was the first year when the competition ratio was higher for neurophysiology than for neurology

Really enjoyed our annual @LivUni @NIHRresearch fellows catch up at the Spine today.
Speaking to colleagues from other fields is so important - it gives new perspectives on our projects and the universal challenges of early career researchers.
Thanks @LivuniIcat for organising!
Got my seasonal covid booster and flu jab both in one sitting today π β

@ESOstroke #research workshop sadly came to an end (with a mandatory trip up an extinct volcano π).
Special thank you to @ECSandset & @fergusdoubal for not only lining up the best speakers but also for creating a unique, welcoming environment for open brainstorming & feedback!
Amazing weather in the most beautiful #Edinburgh welcomed the participants of the 9th @ESOstroke research workshop today. But there are no regrets about staying indoors when the talks & the discussions are so engaging!
