#RealWorldData advocates facing challenges addressing sources of bias suggest causal modelling as a solution. Doesn’t work. Comparison of 19 modelling studies with #RCTs showed 42% differed in direction and 47% of confidence intervals didn’t include RCT estimate.…
Just had a conversation with a doctor. A London A&E is already gaming the system They require PAs to discuss the patient with a Reg or Con before being seen The patient is now considered differentiated And they can see the patient as before Including majors and…
I am no expert on such things although @goldstone_tony is! However, I know I have paid in to my pension in a year and the tax bill for that year was great than the amount I paid into the scheme before tax relief!! I suspect many young doctors unfortunately choose not to join
What taxation rules there is no lifetime allowance anymore they will be capped at £268,275 tax free cash but you can have an unlimited value of pension assets under the current rules. The money will also always be paid because unlike everyone else it’s guaranteed by the tax payer
What is often most concerning when advocates use alternative forms of data? Is that they Jeison any of the detailed appraisal processes we used to judge bias in randomised trials. As we wrote @GuyattGH , ‘a fractured lens to look at broken glass’ gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-…
Advocates suggest administrative real-world data can substitute for #RCTs and offer propensity matching to reduce bias. But results often fail to correspond: #BMJ study showed direction of effect differed in 31% & CI failed to include #RCT estimate in 56% pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26858277/

A recently qualified consultant on LBC today. “Your senior clinician will not have got to medical school in five to ten years time”
Attendance at international conferences early in my career 1) set a bar of quality to aspire to 2) enhanced my presentation skills due to the high calibre competition 3) allowed access to media and other outlets 4) supported networking and connections that snapped my career
I just found out, that despite already giving trainees the lowest study budget allowance in the UK (£600/year), the Wales study budget also will not cover international flights to attend a conference or course. Simply unbelievable.
Do you mean the bar is lower or the bar ‘should be lower’?
Is the competence required now the same as it was 25 years ago?

Without a doubt the best IBD Guideline ever published (even though I may be biased!!)
I've only skimmed through this latest BSG guideline in IBD and I'm already blown away by its content. Honestly, my biggest congratulations, it makes me immensely happy to recognize the names of people I deeply admire who are the authors of such a masterpiece @ShahidaDin1…
What did @GordonMoranIBD and I learn from completing the UK national IBD guidelines - what needs to change? Thoughts from @INGUIDE_Program @IBD_MB @AmerGastroAssn @CrohnsColitisUK gut.bmj.com/content/early/…
The @BritSocGastro #IBD guidelines dropped in @Gut_BMJ today, just in time for the first day of #bsglive25. A magnum opus indeed, guided expertly by @GordonMoranIBD & @drmorrisgordon. Well worth a look if you're interested in IBD: gut.bmj.com/content/74/Sup…
