Pretty chuffed with this work.
We show that having POCUS trained clinicians performing and reporting scans as part of acute care leads to a dramatic reduction in departmental radiology requests. We help not hinder!
More reasons to embed this in daily practice where possible...
#hotoffthepress
Ever wondered if POCUS leads to more work for radiology departments? The answer is no!
Read the clear evidence that an internal medicine POCUS service dramatically reduces downstream radiology requests, by @NHSmallwood and colleagues 👇

He did it! 🙌 After 3 months alone at sea, rowing thousands of miles, UHS consultant anaesthetist, Leo Krivskiy, arrived in Barbados yesterday! 🚣♂️
We couldn't be prouder to have him as part of the UHS family. He's nothing short of inspirational. ✨

Delighted to say I passed my #PhD viva pending few changes (many I noticed last night despite reading it a million times before submission!)
Thanks to everyone @UoS_Medicine @unisouthampton @UHSFT
Massive 🙏 to @sallycurtis25 & @wilkinson_jem

Units have machines, desire to use and an understanding how it helps - but lack trainers & governance.
