Today is #WorldChagasDiseaseDay . A silent killer of young people, their hopes and lives. Can be diagnosed with a serology test. Treatment is curative if given early. In the UK, the disease is mostly undiagnosed. Steady progress is being done via the UK Chagas Hub and others!

Delighted to present our work from Eastern Pathology Alliance + Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals analysing over 199000 (❗️) positive urine cultures 2018-23 at Microbiology Society Annual Conference in Edinburgh🔬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Grateful to Dr Drazich-Taylor & Dr Moore for their support. Hope to inform local guidelines.

Congrats to the COVIDStones team on this achievement. A great collaborative to have worked with.

Absolutely no bias here whatsoever but infectious diseases is the best specialty.

Scientific fact not my opinion

Overjoyed to have accepted my first choice CST job with plentiful General Surgery! Grateful for all the support and patience from Catherine Dominic, senior colleagues, family and friends - couldn’t have made it this far without you!

Excited to start training as a surgeon! 😁

An analysis of doctors’ pay in England confirms the real terms value of their salaries has declined by a quarter in the 15 years since their pay was frozen.

Combined with increases in the cost of living, doctors' purchasing power has been severely hit

Siri, play “I’m an ID girl.” #InternationalWomensDay

tragic scenes over here at barts, with the ukfpo allocations ruining lives 6 days before the start of our finals ☹️

Absolutely delighted to hear feedback for our PSA course. 🥳

Grateful to Norwich and Cambridge medical schools prescribing leads for supporting us to start this in parallel to the official curriculum, and to make it national with 1200+ signups and 200+ attendees each session.

Don't mind having to squeeze in a clinical hub on a day off when it results in a lovely ID-filled day attending the EOE_Foundation Central Micro Hub day in AM & listening to the pre-ECCMID day in PM!

Investing in scientific research at universities not only drives innovation, but is excellent value for money 👇
