Jellybean 061 with Craig Wylie of BadEM
Discussions in Emergency Medicine”. Sounds good. Is Good! It is conspicuous for the multiple different professionals that contribute; when I spoke to Craig BadEM had 3 paramedics, one medical student and one doctor.

It is the trauma that we all hear about but the resources, t...

Antimicrobial Resistance: Where to from Here?
Conclusion Newer tools capable of informing these early decisions are under development, but integrating an awareness of AMR into both hospital and GP practice is a key component of winning the fight against superbugs. Throughout the development process, discussion between clinicians and researchers will ensure that diagnostic tools are effective, and also meet the needs of frontline staff. In the mean-time, cultivating an AMR aware mind-set is the best defence against over-prescription. Understanding and accepting the systematic, ubiquitous biases which affect our judgement of risk is particularly helpful. For example, do...
