I’m here in Terrigal at the NSW ACE Spring meeting.

Co-convenor legends Dr Frances Page and Dr Douglas Gray poised and ready to open the meeting while everyone gets caffeinated! I mean, the venue is pretty awful.

Social Media for Anaesthetists.

Talk delivered at the beautiful Josef Chromy Winery in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

#ACE22TAS Social media is enormous no matter how you look at it. Billions in ad revenue, millions of tweets every day, hours of our time on platforms. Pervasive in our personal and professional lives. Can't separate ourselves from it now.

Meeting Pugh this morning has left me feeling unexpectedly contemplative. Beautiful park, cold crisp Sunday morning, not many people about. Thinking of my many anaesthetic teachers across 3 countries who taught me so much, their wisdom stays with me. On the shoulders of giants. Went wandering around Launceston….

Could that be him?

#PughHunt Found him!

Watching this broadcast from yesterday about unrecognised oesophageal intubation. Lessons from the coroner. Why does it still happen?

https://twitter.com/Anaes_Journal/status/1471869950113497097

Panel has three professors @drlauraduggan Prof Pandit @ProfAndyS. Chaired by @Miko_Charleswor who appears to be wearing a beard, a Christmas Jumper and a Christmas elf.

Recent issues with safety of cosmetic surgery in Australia ...this from @ergopropterdoc 4 years ago discusses anaesthesia safety...

We need to close legal loopholes to ensure everyone is safe when going under anaesthesia theconversation.com/we-need-to-clo… via @ConversationEDU Just like it can be surprising for patients to realise that their 'surgeon' has a medical degree but no surgical qualifications; their 'anaesthetist' currently is not required by law to have specialty training either.
