Walking into one of the #covid bays yesterday to review a patient...
Older Chap shouts “So the sun does actually shine outta your arse”
Me- “Pardon buddy?”
Nurse in bay -“I think the torch is on, on your phone in back pocket”
Nothing like a bit of humour to lift the mood 😂
Having had a bit of time this week away from work, and without much to be able to do outside, I have picked up my sketch pad for the first time in over 10 years. A picture for my daughters bedroom 😊
A little teaser from our diabetes chapter in @rosshferguson “Pharmacy Management of Long Term Conditions” @PharmPress due for publication shortly.
Do share the infographic if you like it
A cracker of a chapter if I do say so - surely one for the reading list @HelenHull12 ? 😉
Took this photo earlier in the yearfrom a MAR chart, but led to the patient being admitted with a severe hypo as was given 21 units. - thankfully fully recovered
NEVER write ‘u’ or ‘i.u’ always ‘units’ for #insulin Rx

So much for me having time to actually tweet what I was doing the week!- apologies @_diabetes101 - Today our team reviewed around 75 inpatients with diabetes from A+E to ITU, a mixture of COVID admissions to those with diabetes having emergency surgery. @UHSFT 1/4
Thoroughly looking forward to taking the torch from @mbrp1 in the new year-who’s leadership has transformed the service @UHSFT over the past 10 years. It means a lot to lead such a fantastic service focused on improving care for ptx with diabetes / endocrine conditions #teamwork
Really happy to announce that James Allen @pr8jaa has been appointed as the new #ChiefPharmacist at @UHSFT@UHSPharmacyTeam may well be... “probably the best Pharmacy department in the world” ➕ James is the perfect person to steer this ship moving forwards.
Really happy that @UHSFT#Diabetes has been chosen as a digital pioneer centre for early roll out of the #novopen6 connected pen device.
Will hopefully bring data interpretation in clinic for MDI users closer to that of pump users.
