Wondering if anyone is using Etoricoxib for cancer bone pain? I thirst after an NSAID with Ketorolac-esque efficacy but more palatable GI safety profile. Albeit in a different patient group, it looks more potent a COX-2 inhibitor than Celecoxib: bandolier.org.uk/booth/painpag/…

Tony Duffy 💙 ☆ Rachel ☆ @AndrewMageePsy 24/7 home visiting essential-don't know how we managed before Taking own drugs out, PGD if nothing prescribed, nurses & paramedics able to make DNR/not-for-hospital decisions, all mean we can respond. If someones dying badly, we are an emergency service, even if "not known to us"

"Curative" care is increasing faster than palliative care at the of life. 95% of patients in their last year of life receive emergency and unscheduled care. Much room to save suffering, carbon, and cost. UK Health Alliance on Climate Change bjgp.org/content/71/710…

A patient developed hypoglycaemia, no history of diabetes or obvious hypoglycaemic drugs. Only recent change had been the initiation and titration of methadone. The cause was likely methadone induced hypoglycaemia, which can be dose related. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

💻Opioid Conversion Workbook up on e-learning for healthcare: portal.e-lfh.org.uk/Component/Deta… Excellent resource for medical + nursing new starters in #pallcare or as refresher training. Good to have some structured high calibre content to utilise for inductions (and save repetition).
