Components of social connection are associated with mortality, but research examining their independent and combined effects in the same dataset is lacking. That has now changed thanks to a recent study published in BMC Medicine. We're joined by the primary author of that study to discuss the results and to get his perspective on social connectivity, loneliness and isolation and the impact on mortality. Discussed:Subjective and objective types of social connectionAnalysis of more than 458,000 participants with full data from the UK Biobank cohort linked to mortality registersWhat types of loneliness and social isolation are linked to a higher risk of death Potential implications for screeningGuest: study author and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow Dr. Hamish Foster References: Study: https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12916-023-03055-7 Surgeon General Advisory: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdfSurgeon General Report on Social Connection: www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/sg-social-connection-general.pdf
In this episode, we talk to Dr Meena Rafiq, Academic GP and Clinical Research Fellow within the Institute of Epidemiology and Health at University of Melbourne. Title of paper: Clinical activity in general practice before sarcoma diagnosis: an Australian cohort studyAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0610Sarcoma is challenging to diagnose with delays associated with poor patient outcomes and experiences. This study has shown that patients with sarcoma often have multiple GP visits and imaging requests in the year before their diagnosis. Clinical activity in general practice increases from 6 months before sarcoma diagnosis, primarily in the form of imaging requests, indicating that opportunities for a timelier diagnosis may exist in some patients. Primary care interventions to increase awareness of sarcoma symptoms and streamline diagnostic pathways, including promoting and clarifying guidelines to optimise the use of appropriate imaging and direct specialist centre referrals, could improve earlier diagnosis and patient outcomes.
Dr. Mark Horowitz, a Clinical Research Fellow in Psychiatry from the UK and co-author of “The Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs,” delves into the complexities of deprescribing psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and sleep aids. Dr. Horowitz outlines the origins and importance of the deprescribing movement, explaining how polypharmacy and overprescription have necessitated a careful approach to reducing medication loads safely. He discusses the physiological and withdrawal challenges faced by patients on long-term psychiatric medication, emphasizing the vital role of slow and individualized tapering processes. He covers the substantial influence of pharmaceutical companies on prescription guidelines in the US compared to the UK, shedding light on the differences in medication usage and prescribing cultures. Dr. Horowitz also debunks the chemical imbalance theory of depression, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of mental health issues and their treatment. He introduces Outro, a new clinic founded by Dr. Horowitz in California, aimed at supporting individuals through the deprescribing process.

Join this episode of What You're Craving as Molly connects with Dr. Mark Horowitz. Dr. Mark is a Clinical Research Fellow in Psychiatry North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT), and today he talks about depression, the different symptoms and treatments of this condition, antidepressant withdrawal, and the side effects of discontinuing it too quickly. With a background that very much matches his line of study today, Dr. Mark has been researching how depression works, what the causes and life experiences associated with it are, and the many health conditions produced by medication withdrawal. Also, according to him, the idea that depression is merely a chemical imbalance is a misconception. Dr. Mark explains that everyone has gone through some depressive state in their lives, and everyone has or will have depression to some degree. This condition can be caused when our emotional needs are not being met, and everyone is susceptible to this situation. Tune in to understand more about antidepressant withdrawal, the placebo effect, the correlation between depression and weight loss, and much more. Episode Quotes “You hear these people that have perfect lives but then depression just drops in their lap… I have never met such a person. Everybody that I have met that has been depressed has had clear reasons in their lives.” “It appears that we become depressed as a response to things in our lives.” Connect with Dr. Mark Horowitz Website: www.markhorowitz.org Twitter: @markhoro Connect with Molly LOTS of EXCITING stuff going on over at mollycarmel.com - take a look!

Pippa Kirby, narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. There is no doubt that technology is dramatically changing the landscape of health and social care, and dementia care is no exception. Pippa's research is focused on exploring people with dementia's perceptions and experiences of smart home technology. ‘Smart homes' are one of the ways being proposed in which technology may be used to prevent hospitalisations and enable people to remain living in their own homes for longer. An appealing proposition perhaps, but a concept which can be divisive: will these systems promote independence and greater freedom, or is this Big Brother? It is important that we learn more about what people with dementia think of this type of home technology, and that their voices are central to the design and development of these systems so that the resulting services are ethical, engaging and effective. In this blog speech and language therapist Pippa discusses her research exploring how we can support the communication of people with speech, language and cognitive difficulties to engage with new innovative technology, and ensure they have as much of a place at the table as those without communication difficulties when it comes to design and delivery. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-communicating-smart-technology/ -- Pippa Kirby is a Speech and Language Therapist and Pre-doctoral Clinical Research Fellow based within the UK Dementia Research Institute at Imperial College London. As a clinician Pippa became interested in how we empower and involve patients with communication difficulties in conversations and in decision making, this led to her current research within the UKDRI Care & Technology Centre, developing smart homes for people with dementia, and how to best explore and understand the perspectives of people with dementia, and involve them in the research.

Around 80% of people surveyed believe in the serotonin theory of depression, which has now been categorically disproved by a research paper published in the top academic journal Nature Molecular Psychiatry. Today, I was fortunate enough to interview one of the researchers who published the paper. Dr Mark Horowitz is a Clinical Research Fellow in the British NHS and an Honorary Clinical Research Fellow at UCL. He has completed a PhD in the neurobiology of depression and the pharmacology of antidepressants at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. Mark was on antidepressants for 15 years as a student and when he tried to come off them, he experienced insomnia, panic attacks, dizziness, anxiety and low mood and he has now used his clinical background to develop strategies to help others come off anti-depressants in a safe manner.

The MiND Study is an Australia-wide research study led by Professor Dennis Velakoulis and Dr Eratne in Neuropsychiatry at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and The University of Melbourne, aiming to develop a routinely available blood test to diagnose (or rule out) dementia and other illnesses quickly and accurately, and transform the care for all people with symptoms and illnesses of the mind and brain. Many patients with conditions like younger onset dementia, go through years of multiple assessments and investigations, misdiagnosis, conflicting opinions, uncertainty, and delay. Psychiatrists, other specialists, and general practitioners, frequently face the diagnostic dilemma of distinguishing neurodegenerative/neurological from primary psychiatric causes of symptoms. There is a great need, and much promise, for routine, simple blood tests, which could dramatically improve outcomes, for so many patients, their families, and healthcare systems.MiND - the markers in neuropsychiatric disorders study: https://themindstudy.org/ Dr Dhamidhu Eratne is a neuropsychiatrist at Neuropsychiatry, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, and PhD Student and Clinical Research Fellow on the Markers in Neuropsychiatric Disorders Study (The MiND Study), The University of Melbourne. His clinical work mainly involves the assessment, diagnosis and management of younger onset dementia and other severe psychiatric and neurogenetic diseases. Dr Eratne's PhD is focussed on biomarkers and other markers to reduce diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis, and clinical translation and widely available tests to improve timely and accurate diagnosis, care, and outcomes for patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. He was awarded the 2021 RANZCP Early Career Psychiatrist Award for his pilot study work, that laid the foundations for significant expansion and broader work of The MiND Study.Professor Malcolm Hopwood is the Ramsay Health Care Professor of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne; based at the Albert Road Clinic (ARC) in Melbourne, Australia. At the ARC, he is the Director of the Professorial Psychiatry Unit. He has a long track record of research in areas of interest include psychopharmacology and clinical aspects of mood and anxiety disorders. He was President of the RANZCP between 2015 and 2017 and is now president of the Asian Federation of Psychiatric Associations. In 2020/2021 he was an author of the RANZCP Mood Disorder guidelines, the Beyond Blue Depression and Anxiety Guidelines and Psychotropic Guidelines in Australia.

In this episode we talk to Dr Yin Zhou who is a GP and Clinical Research Fellow at the Primary Care Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, at the University of Cambridge. Paper: Pre-diagnostic clinical features and blood tests in patients with colorectal cancer: a retrospective linked data study https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0563 (https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0563) Understanding pre-diagnostic patterns of relevant clinical features and abnormal blood test results in patients with colon and rectal cancer could elucidate windows of opportunity during which more timely investigations and referrals could be performed, and earlier diagnosis of cancer could be achieved. We found that consultation rates increased in the year leading up to diagnosis for relevant clinical features such as low haemoglobin, rectal bleeding and change in bowel habits, as well as non-specific blood tests, from as early as 9-10 months before diagnosis. Our findings suggest that potential opportunities for more timely use of cancer investigations or referral exist, and could improve diagnostic pathways, expediting diagnosis and treatment for some patients with colorectal cancer.

In this week's episode we hear from Dr Ana Bonell and Dr. Aliyu Nuhu Ahmed from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine about environmental degradations from climate change that impact health in The Gambia. The expected increase in heat and reduced rainfall in The Gambia is one of the most significant health threats caused by climate change. However, little is known about the gendered dynamics of exposure and response to heat stress; changes in land use and transmission of zoonotic diseases and children's ideas for the future. Our guests discuss how they are engaging communities in identifying solutions to climate change impacts on health and hear about: changes in agricultural land use due to climate change and how these impact health outcomes in rural communities, including transmission of zoonotic diseases a project with pregnant farmers in The Gambia to understand how they perceive and act upon occupational heat stress a “Climate Change Solutions Festival” with children in 50 schools who gave a unique insight into perceived climate change problems and scalable, affordable and creative solutions that could be implemented in their local area co-production approaches and how they are situated within the wider decolonising health agenda Dr Ana Bonell, Clinical Research Fellow Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Dr. Ana Bonell is a Wellcome funded Clinical Research Fellow working on maternal health and climate change. She has training in epidemiology, tropical medicine and advanced physiology. She is particularly interested in the nexus between climate change, maternal health, occupational heat stress and agriculture. Her research focuses on pregnant subsistence farmers in West Africa and the impact of maternal exposure to high ambient temperature, the physiological response to that stress and the impact that has on fetal health and wellbeing. Additionally she is interested in connecting with, learning with and from the youth on climate problems and solutions to the current crisis. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.785254/full (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.785254/full) https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.784915/full https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.03.31.22273092v1 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3965382 Dr. Aliyu Nuhu Ahmed, PhD Student Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Rapid changes are occurring in agricultural systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Land-use changes, market dynamics, agricultural policy, environmental factors, cultural habits, and technology are all influencing and affecting crop farming techniques and animal husbandry for both commercial and subsistence purposes. However, the effects of these changes on zoonotic disease risk remain largely unknown, particularly in the world's poorest communities, where there is rising recognition that zoonotic illnesses have a significant impact on health and livelihoods. A better understanding of the mechanism by which environmental degradation endangers human health, especially in rural communities, will inform ways to optimise zoonotic disease risk mitigation and promote sustainable land-use that is more environmentally friendly.
This content was recorded during a Retina UK webinar on Thursday 31 March 2022. You can watch the full version, which includes slides, on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RetinaUK. Dr Daniel Jackson will talk about medical imaging of the retina. Detailed imaging of the eye is crucial for the assessment of many eye conditions and retinal disorders in particular. He will be discussing what images you are likely to have during a hospital appointment; how they are taken; why we take them; how we interpret them; and how this helps in the management and treatment of retinal conditions. He will talk through pictures and examples to help illustrate exactly what we are looking at and what it means. Daniel is a Clinical Research Fellow working at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London. He is currently undertaking a PhD with Professor Mariya Moosajee and works in the adult and children genetics clinics at Moorfields. His background is in Clinical Ophthalmology where he has almost completed his training in the Oxford training programme. He has a special interest in genetic eye disorders, including inherited retinal conditions, paediatrics and glaucoma.
An Australian first trial using deep brain stimulation is delivering exciting results for people living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

This week the team discusses rising levels of abuse faced by doctors and staff working in general practice and some of the reasons behind this. They also talk about the latest official GP workforce figures, what they tell us about the state of the profession and why the BMA said the statistics were ‘gaslighting' doctors. In our interview Emma speaks with Dr Carey Lunan, a GP in Edinburgh and chair of the Deep End GP Group in Scotland, and Dr David Blane a GP in Glasgow and Clinical Research Fellow in General Practice, University of Glasgow, who is the academic lead of the Deep End GP Group. The Deep End Group covers the 100 most deprived practices in Scotland and the discussion highlights what the group is doing to tackle health inequalities, the impact of COVID-19 and what other practices can learn from their work. And finally our regular good news spot looks at the role of women in general practice over the years. This episode is presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower who is joined by our news editor Nick Bostock and senior reporter Luke Haynes. It was produced by Czarina Deen.

In this episode we speak to Dr Ian Bennett-Briton who is a Clinical Research Fellow in Primary Health Care at the Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol. Paper: Understanding the benefits and limitations of continuous, risk-based, consultation peer-review in out-of-hours general practice: A qualitative interview study https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0076 (https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2021.0076) Unwarranted variation in clinical practice is an area of increasing interest due to the costs and harms of too much or too little healthcare. Effective systems to detect and minimise unwarranted variation in clinician practice are crucial to ensure clinicians in increasingly multidisciplinary healthcare workforces are supported to practise to their full potential. Such systems are limited in English general practice settings, with implications for the efficiency and safety of care. Continuous, risk-based, consultation peer-review provides a mechanism to detect and minimise unwarranted variation in clinician practice, and a potential methodology to support clinicians in an increasingly multidisciplinary general practice workforce to efficiently and safely practise to their full potential.

In this episode we are joined by Dr Alison Berner, Clinical Research Fellow in Medical Oncology & Specialty Doctor in Gender Identity Medicine at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK. Paper: Attitudes of trans men and non-binary people to UK cervical screening https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2020.0905 (https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2020.0905) The UK's National Health Service cervical screening program has contributed to a 70% reduction in the cervical cancer mortality since 1988. Trans men and non-binary people assigned female at birth (TMNB) experience barriers to accessing adequate cervical screening and are less likely to engage in screening than cisgender women but the attitudes, experiences and behaviours of TMNB as they relate to cervical screening remain unexplored in a UK context. This study indicates that TMNB lack sufficient information about cervical screening and experience barriers to accessing screening services at personal, interpersonal and institutional levels. Cervical screening uptake could be increased by adopting TMNB-appropriate screening invitations, providing options for self-sampling, improving cultural sensitivity in health literature, and improving access to trans-specific or trans-aware health services.

This episode is all about THE BOYS. Here at The Lowdown we spend a lot of time talking to women and experts about The Pill, the coil and the injection. But this time we wanted to deep dive into a topic so many people ask us about - male contraception. This episode looks at who's making them, how methods like the Male Contraceptive gel work, and why it's taken so long to get us to this point. Alice talks to Dr John Renolds-Wright - a Clinical Research Fellow who is currently conducting trials on the male contraceptive gel at the University of Edinburgh. We also hear from Logan Nickels and Kevin Shane from The Male Contraceptive Initiative - which is a non-profit based in North Carolina, focussed on moving male contraception forward.
In this episode we talk to Dr Garth Funston, a Clinical Research Fellow, from the Primary Care Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge. The paper is: Time from presentation to pre-diagnostic chest X-ray in patients with symptomatic lung cancer: a cohort study using electronic patient records from English primary care. Read the paper: https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp20X714077 (https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp20X714077) England's national cancer referral guidelines recommend that patients attending general practice with unexplained symptoms possibly caused by lung cancer, such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, and weight loss, have a chest X-ray promptly (within 14 days) to aid timely diagnosis. Only 35% of patients with lung cancer in this study had a chest X-ray within the recommended 14 days; and time between attending general practice with symptoms and having an X-ray was longer among people who smoke, females, and older patients. This research highlights a potential source of delayed lung cancer diagnosis and could inform initiatives aiming to achieve earlier diagnosis and improve outcomes.
Today we talk with Dr. Stephen Bradley, a General Practitioner and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, on publishing in medical journals -- peer review, editorial practices, anti-intellectualism, and more!

On this episode, we learn how to maximize connection and pleasure if you are affected by physical barriers. Kate Wolovsky shares her story being affected with MS and still having a happy sex life despite this condition. Disability Affects More Than Your Physical Body Kate shares that having a disabled body early on in life led to a lot of shame. She also shares her husband's story as a completely disabled person, expanding on how disability extends from physical to emotional as well. She refers to Dr Kinsey's approach to research and how people react from physical trauma. We don't need to ask about a traumatic event to know what the impact of it is. Indicators can be found in other areas of peoples lives through their emotions, sex lives, and interactions – according to her. She sheds light on the difficulties disabled people have with even their medical professionals not being equipped to talk to them or understand them as normal people, which is something she is working on through her surveys. Learning to Talk to Your Providers Kate mentions that people struggling with disabilities are unsure of what they can ask and that's where she plays a key role in helping people. Kate lightheartedly advocates that disabled people are sexy and uses the word “adumbptions” to describe dumb assumptions made about disabled people. Kate strongly encourages more meaningful conversations with disabled people pointing out that conversations with disabled people can be broached the same way as able-bodied people. She discusses where the blocks are and how she and her husband try to alleviate these issues. Their surveys are an example of this. She suggests that you participate in their survey which is used to gather information to help you educate your providers. What's the same for everyone Consent is important for everyone. Innovation in all aspects of your life. She mentions furniture that works for you or using zoom to keep your relationship alive. In addition to this, she mentions not allowing social media to dictate what YOUR body should look like. “Whatever your body does, its OK” Free Webinar If you're interested in our on-going free webinar – How to help your partner want more sex without making them feel pressured or obligated – you can sign up here.

Download In this episode, Kyle interviews Dr. Alexander Belser, a Clinical Researcher who has done a variety of works in the psychotherapy and psychedelic fields, helping patients heal from depression, OCD, suicide, and other illnesses, all while focusing on gender neutrality and equality. In this episode, they cover topics on privilege, inclusivity and recommendations for the psychedelic space. 3 Key Points: Privilege is commonly seen in therapist roles and as well in an individual’s access to treatment. It's important for the psychedelic community to be vocal about privilege and be inclusive of all types of people, all repressed groups. Psychedelics have the power to help people come to terms with their own sexuality, as well as become accepting of other individuals sexual identification. In order to see more equality in the psychedelic space, we need to confront structural heterosexism and transfobia, retire the male/female therapy diad, and develop acknowledgement in the psychedelic world of the stresses that LGBTQ people face.

Navigating Psychedelics Trip Journal Integration Workbook Show Notes About Alexander Alexander started attending psychedelic conferences in college He works at Yale currently, treating individuals with major depressive disorders with psilocybin assisted psychotherapy He lives in New York and works on a team for the MAPS, MDMA trial for the treatment of PTSD Queering Psychedelics Queering Psychedelics is a Conference put on with the help of Chacruna Its an opportunity for Queer folk to come together and talk about psychedelic medicine Alexander's presentation was on Queer Critique for the Psychedelic Mystical Experience Privilege and Inclusivity People with more privilege have more power, more access to funding, more access to expanding the research agenda Many of the people in psychedelic research are privileged, white, cisgender individuals (and Alexander believes they are using the privilege for good) But it's important for the psychedelic community to be vocal about privilege and be inclusive of all types of people, all repressed groups Alexander thinks that we need to eliminate the male/female diad The typical structure for psychedelic therapy is to have a male cisgender therapist and a female cisgender therapist But Alexander thinks this is gender essentializing Its totalizing of gender, assuming that the masculinity is held by the male therapist, and femininity is held by the female therapist Alexander thinks that the therapists should be more gender neutral Its essential to assess the individual needs of the client for specific gender pairing Recommendations Alexander's Reccomendations Confront Structural Heterosexism and Transfobia Retire the Male/Female Therapy Diad Acknowledgement in the Psychedelic world of the stress that LGBTQ people face We need to be able to run moderation analyses to see if a type of psychedelic treatment works the same for sexual minority populations as it does for straight folks Are there unique clinical considerations for sexual minorities? The psychedelic Renaissance is maturing and reaching a point where our approaches can be more inclusive He thinks it's important for straight folks to think about this too “We all suffer, including straight folks, in a world where the idea of gender and sexuality is firmly printed as either being A or B. It's a disservice to our identities.” - Alexander It is common to feel “oneness” after a psychedelic experience, and it's common for gender roles to change throughout the process And on the flip side, maybe our perception of other people’s gender (homophobia) transforms from a psychedelic experience, and we can become more accepting of other forms of gender Mystical Experience When people score higher on the mystical experience questionnaire (profound unity, transcendence of time and space) its predictive of their improvements on depression and anxiety It's important to be mindful of what value we put on marginalized people’s psychedelic experiences The most common issue Alexander sees is people feeling ‘stuck’ in these bodies Psychedelic medicine encourages (at least in appeal) embodiment Final Thoughts First, we need to come to terms with our own internalized homophobia, transphobia and racism Together, we learn from each other, how to dismantle types of patriarchal, homophibic and transphobic structures MDMA expanded access may probably end up being very expensive, we need to think about privilege and access to mental healthcare broadly It's not just about diversity, Alexander encourages people to create allies He has hope that we can proceed with integrity in these topics Links Alexander's website Center for Breakthroughs About Dr. Alexander Belser Alexander Belser, Ph.D., is a Clinical Research Fellow and clinical supervisor at Yale University. He is the Co-Investigator of two studies at Yale exploring psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to treat OCD and depression. His research with sexual minority people has focused on preventing suicide among adolescents and on the protective role of gay-straight alliances for students. Dr. Belser was a founding member of the Psychedelic Research Group at NYU in 2006, and he is currently an Adjunct Faculty member in NYU’s graduate program in Counseling Psychology. He has been a researcher on various psychedelic studies of depression, anxiety, OCD, addiction, trauma, and among religious leaders. He is a study therapist for the MAPS study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. Dr. Belser serves as a peer reviewer and has published peer-reviewed articles on topics such as psychedelic mysticism, altruism, patient experiences in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy, cancer and psychedelic therapy, case studies, psilocybin treatment and posttraumatic growth (forthcoming).
We talk to Dr Alasdair Munro, Clinical Research Fellow in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, and attempt to bust some myths about antibiotic prescribing in children. If you only listen to one podcast about antibiotics in children - make it this one!
This week’s guest, Australian intensivist Dr Ed Litton, truly amazes and inspires me. Despite having a full-time clinical and research career, and a young family, Ed pursues his passion for adventure mostly through ultra-endurance exercise. Many intensivists run, swim, cycle or do other sorts of vigorous exercise in their spare time. Some even run marathons, swim regularly with a squad or cycle long distances to and from work. Some do all 3 by competing in triathlon events. Yet not too many intensivists take on ironman triathlons like Ed does. And how many cycle across Australia from Sydney to Perth as he did a couple of years ago? Ed uses adventure and exercise to keep refreshed for his busy medical career. So to me this podcast conversation is a real treat. Hearing about this massive cross-continent bike ride, the recent family cycling trip across the New Zealand Alps he and his wife did with their 2 young children, and his love for other physical pursuits like surfing and climbing, is both educational and inspiring. Ed Litton is a Staff Specialist in Intensive Care Medicine and Director of ICU Research at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth, Australia, and a Clinical Research Fellow in the ICU at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco. He is the recipient of a National Health and Medical Research Council Early Career Fellowship and is a Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia. Ed is a member of the executive committee of the Australia and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Centre for Outcomes Research Evaluation where he is clinical director of the Critical Care Resources Registry. He’s received over $6M in research support and published over 60 manuscripts in the peer reviewed literature. I have admired Ed and his thoughtful approach to intensive care and to life for several years now. Apart from his approach to adventure and exercise he has many valuable perspectives on his bedside approach including: What fascinates him about Intensive Care Some of the things he learnt from his key mentors The importance of reassurance for patients Mixing patient-centred and digital information The 2 phase ward round at his ICU The internal pressure he felt as a new consultant to make fast decisions Creating the right atmosphere in communicating with colleagues His tendency to ruminate about his patients Fatigue during ward rounds His thoughts on sleep How he uses meditation The value of reading books The difficulty in trying to be a jack of all trades in our careers. Ed is caring, mature and very patient-focused. He’s also a super fit athlete. Please enjoy listening to the podcast.

It's a big decision isn't it? In this podcast we hope our panel can help you decide. Identifying an area of interest in working life, requires not only an awareness of where our own curiosity resides, but also an appreciation of the reality in which we can explore it. As such there is a certain degree of pragmatism in matching imaginative possibilities with practical actualities - and that includes finding funding, appropriate supervision, and location. In this weeks podcast our panel is chaired by Dr Charlotte Stoner, Research Associate from University College London. On the panel we have Christopher Madan from University of Nottingham, Angelique Mavrodaris a Clinical Research Fellow and Consultant in Public Health Medicine in Cambridge and Suzanne Hill a PhD student at University of Bradford.

"What suture would you like to close with, Doctor?" asked the scrub nurse. "Errrr....Dunno, what do they normally use?" replied the surgical trainee who hadn't taken a few minutes to watch this week's podcast from Lee Creedon, all about sutures. In this podcast, mapped to ISCP and basic surgical skills course objectives, Lee takes you though different kinds of sutures, needles, nomenclature and the indications for using each particular type of suture. So, when the scrub nurse asks you which suture you want you will be able to make the correct choice with confidence. Essential viewing for all medical students interested in surgery and all trainees at the start of a surgical career. Lee Creedon is a Clinical Research Fellow in General Surgery at the University of Leicester.
