I just listened to Tony Blair being interviewed on Radio 4. I can recall the days when Tony Blair, who had apparently never turned on a PC, believed that IT was the solution for every problem in government . Now it seems that he thinks that AI is the answer to every question.

𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 Sarah Massey @LeeVarney2000 National Audit Projects I think this is one key point Anaesthesia Associates currently provide <2% of anaesthesia activity and <0.2% of anaesthesia activity as a main provider If (with the long term staffing plan) this is expanded 15- to 20-fold (raising numbers from 150 to 2000) the will have a

Regarding ANAESTHESIA ASSOCIATES there is -one published cost analysis bjanaesthesia.org.uk/article/S0007-… -one large survey rcoa.ac.uk/sites/default/… both of which suggest cost are higher for AAs To assess quality (casemix etc) there is only -NAP7 & while there is nuance the design did

The note is an epiphenomenon of the patient visit Writing it during the appt is missing an opportunity for a truly human exchange (not unlike people who take so many pictures of an event or place that I wonder if they’re experiencing it as deeply as if they were fully present)

“People are developing magical beliefs that AI is going to transform everything in healthcare very soon. It isn’t: most of us use significant healthcare resources during the first two years and last six months of our lives.

Older Brits should recalibrate their understanding of £100k+ incomes in light of inflation and tax changes: > £125k income in 2024, after income tax, NI, student loan: £69,264 > £63K in 2007, after income tax and NI: £42,845 -> £70,233 in 2024 £s

Seems to be a lot of confused excitement over whether or not PAs "study medicine". As though somehow this is really important. But really it isn't. Lets look at an analogy Imagine an essay by a GCSE student on 'the causes of the First World War'. Their essay will be different

Many Tories seem to be deluding themselves that they lost because of immigration alone. The attacks on Labour today, claiming that the economy is doing really well, suggest that they have very little grasp of how catastrophically the UK economy has performed since 2010.

Quite a letter from Office for Budget Responsibility - says unaware of 2024-25 spending pressures until this week (i.e not when it made its March forecast) - points out it would be one of biggest in-year overspends on record - launches review of "adequacy" of what HMT told it before the March Budget...

Having been in this situation, loss of personal allowance and childcare entitlement at £100k stifles ambition and undermines productivity. A more rational system is urgently needed. Rachel Reeves

I wonder if Wes Streeting Rachel Reeves understand the impact of tax policy on doctors ability to work? I've been talking to journalists on AA Taper & 60% tax trap & how it impacts doctors Crazy that tax policy discourages doctors from working, given current waiting lists 🤦‍♂️

It will not be recorded as a medal for him, but Van Aert holding Van der Poel's wheel was key in this race. If Van der Poel had gone solo, it likely would have been harder for Belgium to win. #Paris2024 #CyclingRoad

I say this a lot but I think Michael Johnson is the best commentator. No bullshit. No spin. Just totally honest feedback and he does it for the BBC because he thinks the American networks don't take Athletics seriously.

This is why the Colleges and GMC need to draw and hold lines on scope creep etc. Independence of practice = demands for equality of pay. Which erodes ANY of the putative benefits of PAs in the longer term and puts pts at risk. Lesson here for you too Queensland Health!

Hyperkalaemia: using Lokelma rather than insulin & dextrose for K+ 6.0-6.5 without ECG changes prevents a whole lot of insulin/dextrose related hypos & associated harm. Clinical Medicine (ClinMed) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
