Myself and Jonny Wilkinson, an Intensivist from Northampton in the UK discuss some of the key topics to have passed by our Twitter streams over the last few days. This ranges from Sepsis to POCUS and a new use for Aspirin.

Many key sites are highlighted and these can be found in Jonnys fabulous website.

We are hoping that this is something we can do on a regular basis.

This is a discussion I had with Liz Staveacre (@lizzys39) who is Senior Critical Care Outreach Clinical Nurse Specialist at Northwick Park Hospital. Her Masters' dissertation looked at the factors that influence whether nurses will escalate the patient when it is necessary. From the discussion, it would seem that there is still some work to be done.

It certainly gives us some food for thought and hopefully will provide some refocus on the important problems.
