“60% paediatric MT patients are of our lowest socioeconomic group” Rehab is a chance to get children INTO school not just back into school. Awesome talk by Naomi Davies - not only about rehab and school return but reminding us of huge health inequalities in the UK. #neptune23

Amazing way to end the NEPTUNE conference, taking us on a PEM adventure! So many clinical trials in 1 hour. My interesting fact: No difference in drain failure rate in haemothorax (BUT emergent drains excluded!) #neptune23 #PEMadventures

“Well you’re gay so it must be an STD” - an example of discrimination leading to misdiagnosis through incorrect preconceptions. @NicJMiller1 teaching us a new 5Ds model for calling it out in the healthcare setting. #NUHMedEd23

Such a challenging question on differential attainment from Hannah Wilkin-Crowe and Mrs Louise Morris - followed by the privilege walk! Easy to see how so many of us have privileges that others don’t. #NUHMedEd23

I went a bit quiet at the end of #NUHMedEd23! Fantastic talk from Prof Claire Sharpe. Showed NUH CEO the fantastic work of doctors, ACPs and students at UoN and NUH. Enthusiasm and engagement from the audience. Thank you to my organising team! PMED at NUH City & QMC

After some reflection I have concluded that Emergency Care in the UK has never before been under the constant, unrelenting pressure as it is now. Every shift feels like a struggle (and I’ve been doing it a while). How do you keep yourself positive on shift (and after)?
