The #EM3 team is back from its holiday and hitting the ground running with a #LightningLearning collab with TeachMePaediatrics about Tetralogy of Fallot – one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart diseases seen on x-ray as a boot-shaped heart 👢❤️ em3.org.uk/foamed/1/10/20…

It’s been an #EM3 simulation & teaching day bonanza here at Leicester's Hospitals Emergency Department! 🎓🏥 We kicked things off with our HST #MentalHealth study day. Many thanks Mark Williams and the excellent security staff for their assistance with simulation 👍

So tonight’s special podcast guest is none other than Mr PEMFest himself... Damian Roland via no-expense spared satellite link up from.. near Leicester. It’s a good one - all about research. #podcast #paedsrocks #FOAMPed #PEMfest2018 #research #PERUKI

'Tis the season to be bronchy! 👶💨 We've got a brand new #LightningLearning from #EM3's newest paediatric education fellow carlvanheyningen on Bronchiolitis: the most common cause of hospitalisation for children under 1 year – increasing every year! 🔗 em3.org.uk/foamed/8/10/20…

Currently doing the new ATLS online e-learning. In the videos they have so far - intubated a patient who is not in cardiac arrest without an RSI, then done a GCS assessment on the intubated patient and all this time the patient has a collar but no blocks or tape...???

3. Stop the statins over 80 4. The lowest mortality BP in the very elderly is 160-180 systolic 5. You can destroy very carefully orchestrated plans by community care teams 6. Don’t urine dip >65yo’s 7. Smelly urine is not indicative of UTI - Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky #18IAEM

I did this job for 18 months and it was awesome! Great for getting both teaching and simulation experience and the freedom to put your education ideas into reality. If anyone want to ask questions feel free to get in touch!
