Just returning to critcare.social after a long absence. Who is around?
Grasmere from Fairfield. What a view!

Last week was special.

The Crit Care programme at #EdinburghUni awarded its first ever #MScs.

After 5 years in the making (2 years of work even before the first student logged in!) and a pandemic during lauch year we wondered if this moment would ever come.

Congratulations to all our graduating students and to all my amazing colleagues but particularly my partner in crime Graham Nimmo (second from left) who retires this year.

#introduction Hello critcare.social!

I'm an emergency medicine trainee in the Thames Valley, currently on my ACCS rotations in ICU and anaesthetics, and I am open to bribes...
