Great to see one of SIMIR's best friends @vaughan_bee speaking at #ARVRInnovate. Foveated rendering (ht Ann McNamara) is my favourite new term of the conference so far. Be warned however, I will be using it neither sparingly, nor correctly

That was very enjoyable. Thanks David Gardiner @Hothouse_TUDub and Alex Gibson #ReturnOnImmersion #AR #VR for chairing a lovely chat about how SIMIR will make learning medicine more immersive (and fun!) So interesting as well to hear about Jackie Carroll bringing VR to meditation #ARVRInnovate

Medical students and trainees are increasingly annoyed that their education and training doesn't improve the reality of their practice. It's like going to pilot school and learning everything about planes, except for how to fly them SIMIR is a flight simulator for doctors

Terrific thread on a really emotive ad that whitewashes all of the housing crisis context. To me it looks like she needs a stairlift. Never mind the potential delirium implications of living on the artificial set of your old sitting room within an ultra modern house

When you're not sure what sport they need the trophy for, just play it safe. A man going 'tada!'

Is it just me or does it seem like this question was written by Robert?

If you were surprised during the pandemic that some people were unwilling to suffer the slightest inconvenience to prevent deaths and for the public good, you've obviously never cycled in Ireland

This is great. Will definitely be aiming to include some of these practices and insights into the SIMIR virtual ED Psychological safety isn't just a sim phenomenon

No out of hours GP would see a patient today because he was Covid-19+ So instead he was seen by two paramedics, a triage nurse, two ED nurses, an ED doctor, an entire waiting room of patients, and a taxi driver to bring him home It's frustrating and it doesn't make sense

I'm back playing football because I want to get really good at it before I turn 40

I've never seen a patient attend ED with an injury related to untied shoelaces. Nothing on PubMed either. I don't think untied shoelaces are as dangerous as we've been led to believe

Has anyone ever seen a ?periorbital cellulitis that wasn't actually shingles/herpes zoster ophthalmicus. I haven't. I'm not sure periorbital cellulitis really exists. I mean it probably does. I've just never seen it. GPs seem to see it a lot

I can't think of a single valid use for home blood pressure monitors. To offset their cost to the health service, they should be taxed like cigarettes

Many thanks @IrishCAPSS Dara Byrne for a great three days of simulation training. Great final day of workshops with Brenda L Romero Romero Games Ltd. on the future roles of gaming in healthcare and meducation. anne salter can I have a console for my b-day??

I'm still annoyed about how poor the #24NoMore slogan was for the 2013 NCHD industrial action. The strike was demanding an end to shifts longer than 24 hours, but everyone thought it was for an end to 24 hour shifts. And NCHDs are still doing >24 hour on-site shifts! So poor

Can't argue with any of this. A real top bird #WEMSIG

Very surprising to hear GRA president and serving Limerick Garda admit to not having had any training in CPR for 18 years I assumed anyone working in emergency services would have regular BLS training - whether mandatory, or for their own professional development & good practice

Those concert medical tent areas with mattresses and bottles of water for revellers who have gotten too drunk should be repurposed (or at least shared) with the over 30s who have gone to a music festival by mistake

I feel like if you are not ready to order when the waiter first comes to you, you get re-triaged as a category 5 and then you may as well just go home

incredibly medical student on a ward round vibes
