Lots to learn and reflect on from day 1 #PeriSIG24 #ANZCA

I am possibly the world’s worst tweeter/skyper of a conference.
I do try and I am not sure I am improving.
If you are at #periSIG24 in Melbourne so come say hello.
More dreadful posting tomorrow ☺️

Here are the slides from #periSIG24 in Melbourne this afternoon.
As I am a boomer apparently I am excused from describing them, and I am tired and the Cricket Test is on.
Happy to answer questions.
#MedSky #AnSky #ANZCA #periopmed #boomer

AV has been perfect every talk and plenty of drinks and food for breaks and lunch, all excellent quality.

Interesting academic insights into the failures that led to Twitter's downfall by @snurb.bsky.social at today's #ANZCA conference in Wellington NZ.

"Twitter often used engagement with academics as a fig-leaf for its own inaction (on properly dealing with harmful information including misinfo)."
