Science for Pandemic Preparedness: A Precautionary Framework In the early weeks of the pandemic year 2020, health agencies were slow to warn of the potential for a global health emergency while scientists waited for ‘sufficient’ evidence of human-to-human tran...

Bringing the Fundamentals of Clinical Care Back to the Bedside

Janet Record highlights it's about doing different, not more!

Handovers often focus on recapping objective data, not examining patients together - even though reviewing the exam may change diagnostic reasoning and management up to 20% of the time!

Bedside teaching can be intimidating for teachers too! That's why our 10 Minute Moments (10MM) include faculty development info as well as learner assessment against a rubric. 9 x 10MM downloads are available, from heart murmur to jaundice.

Thanks to Stephen Russell #rcpebedside for highlighting!

Stephen Russell introducing the 5 Minute Moment (5MM) to teachers & learners at tonight's #rcpebedside webinar.

Did you know there are 20 different downloadable 5MM pdf's on our SBM website, from anaemia to Virchow's node?!

Maja Artandi considers feedback at today's #rcpebedside webinar, including barriers to giving effective feedback.

Remember that practice doesn't make perfect - practice with EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK makes perfect!

Interns spend only 13% of their time by the patient bedside - is it any wonder that our clinical skills have declined?!

“In the late 1960s, Dr. Rossiter was working on her Ph.D. at Yale, when a comment from one of her male professors puzzled her. Who, she had asked, were the women in science? There were none, he said. Another professor mumbled something about Marie Curie being the exception.”🙃

Behind jealous! Stunning bird - and what fabulous photos! We apparently have one at a pond near us, but as I'm usually huffing and puffing past it on an attempted run I don't think it will hang around long enough for me to spot it!

We send our support from across the pond. UK are your pro-science allies!

In this advancing anti-expert era it is critically important that we stand with our allies across the pond in defense of their stance. It is distressing to see an entirely preventable public health disaster unfolding in the US.

Rossiter coined the term "Matilda effect" for when women's scientific work is attributed to men.

It was a twist on the "Matthew effect," famously attributed to Robert Merton, but actually studied jointly by Merton and his wife Harriet Zuckerman, who was denied co-authorship

The data gap exists for the elderly as it does for women - both are excluded from research as being too variable/complex yet treated as simple enough to be deducted from young male data.

Prof Elder and I delighted to talk about both at the PAWPA 4th Jordanian Women Physicians' Conference, Amman

Thought-provoking talk by Dr Ieva Ruža of Latvia representing @rcpedin.bsky.social at the 4th Jordanian Women Physicians' Conference in Amman, exploring the importance of soft skills in medical leadership and importance of interacting with colleagues with compassion & civility.

Great talk by resident doctor Aktham Akroush at the 4th Jordanian Women Physicians' Conference - doctors do NOT practice what we preach and on average look after ourselves poorly in terms of smoking, alcohol, exercise, sleep, screening programmes and burnout
