      <itunes:summary>For Sepsis Awareness Month, Dr Marilena Giannoudi speaks with Dr Ron Daniels about sepsis. They discuss the causes, investigation, management, and prevention of sepsis. Topics include the Sepsis 6 and escalation of care, use of blood cultures, septic shock, and post-sepsis syndrome.

Dr Ron Daniels is an NHS Consultant in Intensive Care, based at University Hospitals Birmingham, U.K. He’s also Founder and Chief Executive of the UK Sepsis Trust and Vice-President of the Global Sepsis Alliance. In 2016 he was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to patients. Ron’s expertise lies in translational medicine and leadership. He leads the team driving dissemination of the Sepsis 6 treatment pathway and is part of the team responsible for much of the policy and media engagement around sepsis in the U.K. and elsewhere, including as a core member of the team securing the adoption of the 2017 Resolution on Sepsis by the World Health Organization (WHO). At home, Ron’s worked with the NHS over the last 9 years to ensure that by 2019, in England, more than 80% of patients presenting with suspected sepsis were receiving appropriate antimicrobials rapidly. He is now leading a team working with His Majesty’s Government to once again drive sepsis improvement work in the post pandemic era. He’s ever mindful of the perceived conflict, and the synergies and need for collaboration, with the antimicrobial stewardship agenda.

Dr Marilena Giannoudi is a clinical academic trainee in cardiology in the Yorkshire and Humber region. Her current interests include heart failure, endothelial dysfunction, and medical education. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and is currently pursuing a PhD. Dr Giannoudi is passionate about ensuring that trainees' voices are heard and that educational opportunities are available to foster confidence and independence throughout their training. She has developed core medical training (now IMT) teaching programs in hospitals across her deanery. Additionally, she uses her position on the local junior doctor body to advocate for and implement necessary changes.

      <itunes:summary>This week, Dr Kat Ralston takes a fresh look at the geriatric giants with Dr Clare Bostock. They explore frailty syndromes using the “5M’s” approach (matters most, mind, mobility, medications, and multi-complexity) and discuss the importance of a detective mindset to make the diagnosis. They share practical tips on the assessment and management of patients with frailty at the front door.  

Clare Bostock is a consultant geriatrician at NHS Grampian. Her areas of special interest include acute assessment, polypharmacy, falls, and quality improvement. She works in the geriatric assessment unit at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The geriatric medicine team at ARI started daily reviews of older people with frailty in the Acute Medical Admissions area in July 2022. She spent nearly 3 years working in the hospital at home team alongside acute work at ARI, and now works in ARI and at an intermediate care facility at Rosewell House. 

Dr Kat Ralston is a Geriatric Medicine Registrar and member of the RCPE Trainees and Members’ Committee, currently working in Edinburgh.

      <itunes:summary>In the second of two episodes on Long COVID, Dr Hannah Preston discusses Long COVID and ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) with Dr Binita Kane.

Long COVID, also known as Post-Covid Syndrome, is further explored. Dr Preston and Kane discuss Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), immune dysregulation, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), the impact of Long COVID on women's and men's health, investigations, emerging research and treatments, and the importance of listening to your patient.

Dr Binita Kane is a Consultant respiratory physician in Manchester. She has worked on the frontline of the pandemic since 2020 and set up the first COVID virtual ward model in the UK and has advised nationally on the role of virtual wards across England.

In January 2021, Dr Kane’s 10 year old daughter developed COVID and subsequently Long COVID. This has led her on an international search for answers, culminating in her becoming a campaigner, researcher, patient advocate, champion for the Long COVID Kids charity and now a specialist Long COVID physician.

Dr Kane is a member of the World Health Network Long COVID Executive Committee, Independent SAGE and a campaigner for clean air.

Dr Hannah Preston is a Renal Registrar in Edinburgh and RCPE Trainees and Members' Committee (T&amp;MC) Co-Chair.

      <itunes:summary>This week, Dr Libby Sampey interviews Ian Lee on impromptu teaching on the medical ward. Ian discusses the importance in facilitating teaching on the wards and how to recognise and overcome challenges, as both educators and learners, to provide good quality training in a clinical setting.  

Ian Lee is a Lecturer in Medical Education and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy who works mainly on the University of Edinburgh's Clinical Educator Programme. 
With a background in nursing, Ian's past clinical teaching includes; teaching resuscitation and clinical skills; ALS instruction; roles in simulation based education and of course supporting medical and nursing students on clinical placement in patient facing clinical settings which is what forms the basis of today's Clinical Conversation. Now in full time academia, Ian continues to share his experiences of working with learners in clinical settings and augments this with evidence from the literature as well as insights developed from hosting workshops on similar topics.

      <itunes:summary>This week Dr Kat Ralston discusses the concept of civility with Dr Catherine Stretton. They reflect on their own personal experiences and explore the evidence on the impact incivility has on our ability to do our jobs effectively. They discuss recognising the factors that can lead to incivility, explore strategies to challenge incivility with compassion and consider how we can influence our workplace culture to improve patient safety.

Kat is a Specialist Trainee in Geriatric and General Medicine and a Medical Education Fellow, currently working in Edinburgh.

Cath is a Consultant Anaesthetist in St. John's Hospital, Livingston. Alongside her clinical work, she is very interested in staff experience and how this translates into to the quality of healthcare that our teams deliver to our patients. She is also interested in utilising Quality Improvement science to achieve excellence in these two areas, so both patients and staff get the best possible experience from our healthcare system.

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Edward Foo discusses spontaneous bleeding presentations and their identification and management with Dr Andrew Page.

Dr Andrew Page is a Consultant Haematologist with a special interest in bleeding and thrombotic disorders at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, and Director of the Edinburgh Haemophilia Centre. Before training as a medic, he worked in basic scientific research in the field of genetics. This continues to inform his clinical interests, and Dr Page is also the Clinical Lead of the Scottish Bleeding and Platelet Disorders Genetic Diagnostic Service.

Edward Foo is a medical student at the University of Edinburgh and Student Observer of the RCPE Trainees and Members' Committee (T&amp;MC).

--- Notes for the listener ---

At c. 10.55, Dr Page discusses European licensing for gene therapy in haemophilia B. The situation has changed since recording (13/12/2022), and gene therapy in haemophilia B now has conditional authorisation in Europe: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/first-gene-therapy-treat-haemophilia-b

At c. 24.23, Dr Page discusses reversal of warfarin. Dr Page mentions Beriplex, which is the brand of prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) used in NHS Lothian, where Dr Page works. However, it should be noted that other brands are available and Beriplex is just being given as an example. Other brands can be found in the BNF: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/dried-prothrombin-complex/medicinal-forms/

In NHS England there is a mandated AKI programme under the umbrella term of ‘Think Kidneys’ (https://www.thinkkidneys.nhs.uk/).
As part of this there is a national audit with data collection using laboratory AKI e-alerts and managed by the UK Renal Registry-UK Kidney Association in association with NHS England.
This service estimates that one in five emergency admissions into hospital are associated with acute kidney injury and potentially up to 100,000 deaths in secondary care are associated with acute kidney injury with perhaps 25-30% potentially preventable.
(National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) Adding Insult to Injury 2009)https://www.ncepod.org.uk/2009aki.html.
 
AKIN stages:
An increase of more than 26μmol/l above baseline (within a 48hr period)
OR An increase of more than or equal to 1.5 to 2 fold from baseline 
An increase of more than or equal to 2 to 3 fold from baseline
An increase of more than 3 fold from baseline
OR
Serum creatinine ≥355μmol/l with an acute rise of at least 45μmol/l
OR 
Initiation of RRT

      <itunes:summary>Dr David Ryan interviews Dr Xiao Liu about machine learning in diagnostic testing, the current state of research and use in real-world medicine.

Dr Liu is an ophthalmology doctor and clinical researcher at the University of Birmingham and University Hospitals Birmingham. She is interested in clinical evaluation and implementation of digital health technologies (particularly machine learning algorithms as diagnostic tests) to improve patient care and healthcare delivery. 

Her recent work has been around identifying gaps in reporting and methodology in clinical AI studies, and providing guidance for clinicians to critically appraise the evidence supporting AI health systems. She led the development of the SPIRIT-AI and CONSORT-AI guidelines - new reporting guidelines for AI clinical trials. She also plays an advisory role to NHS X, the AI in health and care award and the WHO/ITU focus group for AI for Health.

      <description>Dr David Ryan interviews Dr Xiao Liu about machine learning in diagnostic testing, the current state of research and use in real-world medicine.

Dr Liu is an ophthalmology doctor and clinical researcher at the University of Birmingham and University Hospitals Birmingham. She is interested in clinical evaluation and implementation of digital health technologies (particularly machine learning algorithms as diagnostic tests) to improve patient care and healthcare delivery. 

Her recent work has been around identifying gaps in reporting and methodology in clinical AI studies, and providing guidance for clinicians to critically appraise the evidence supporting AI health systems. She led the development of the SPIRIT-AI and CONSORT-AI guidelines - new reporting guidelines for AI clinical trials. She also plays an advisory role to NHS X, the AI in health and care award and the WHO/ITU focus group for AI for Health.

-- The Seven Acts of Allyship --

Appetite – Do you have the appetite to immerse yourself in the complex, emotive world of race equality?
Ask – Ask questions about race, be curious, read, learn and educate yourself.
Accept – Accept there is really a problem. More data aren’t needed.
Acknowledge – Openly acknowledge that the problem needs to be dealt with.
Apologise – Express sympathy that racism is affecting people of certain races.
Assume – Don’t. Instead develop informed views by seeking to understand individuals.
Action – Take demonstrable action steps to establish equality and be accountable.

      <itunes:summary>Dr Jonathan Bardgett and Dr Francesca Moroni discuss the importance of recognising and treating malnutrition in the acutely ill patient. This episode offers practical advice on assessing malnourished patients and provides an overview on available interventions from simple dietary adjustments to artificial feeding. Particular interest is posed on recognising patient at risk of refeeding syndrome and how to prevent it. A multidisciplinary approach to the malnourished patient is key in the successful management of malnutrition with specific focus on the fundamental role of the dieticians.

Dr Moroni touches upon different tubes and feed modalities and practical advice on managing high NG aspirates. A brief mention on parenteral nutrition can stimulate the listener to read more about it. The extreme malnutrition scenario is offered by patients with anorexia nervosa who require admission in acute medicine. These patients should be treated with extreme caution and involvement of gastroenterologist, dietician and psychiatrist should be priority.
