@DrPaulRees is leaving @BartsIntervGrp for pastures new with an exciting new chapter in Minnesota where he will be leading with his expertise in the Cardiology and Cardiogenic Shock programme. @Ozkor @mdstbarts
Paul and I first met about the @DMS_MilMed REBOA programme in that very building! For the next 10 years our professional relationship and close friendship has grown and grown through POCUS & SPEAR programmes which led to the ERICA trial. The next chapter is even more exciting!
