Dr Ranjana Srivastava @docranjana emphasising the importance of doctors using their expertise to help patients choose wisely. Don't just hand them a menu of options without guidance. Add to this compassion and empathy. Great advice! #PERISIG24 @ANZCA @ASA_Australia @GuardianAus – at Melbourne, Victoria

Opening the Perioperative Medicine SIG #PERISIG24 + Hidden Pandemic Summit III + POQI. Led by Nicola Broadbent, Jill van Acker & Guy Ludbrook. Looking forward to great sessions & launch of the @ANZCA Grad Chapter Perioperative Medicine. @nic0broadbent @LudbrookGuy @ASA_Australia – at Melbourne, Victoria

It's not too late to register for the @PeriopCognPIA Immersive Workshop in perioperative cognitive assessment istaart.alz.org/events/item/… in Philly, Friday July 26. Led by @lisbethevered and Cate Price @Cep23Katie + expert facilitators! @alzassociation @NIDUS_Delirium @ASALifeline – at Melbourne, Victoria

Thanks, Rod Eckenhoff for a great introduction to the value of multidisciplinary engagement in addressing the most common postsurgical complication in older adults - delirium and cognitive disorders - join @PeriopCognPIA to participate with @ISTAART @NIDUS_Delirium and more!

The connection between Pholcodine sensitisation and NMB #anaphylaxis is evidence supported. Dr Heather Butler outlines at #ACE23MEL why the @TGAgovau withdrew pholcodine cough medicines this year. #patientsafety. Supported by @ANZCA @ASA_Australia – at Melbourne, Victoria

This is a clearly articulated, positive and appropriate position from @ANZCA council and @ANZCA_FPM board supporting a "Yes" vote for the Voice. – at Melbourne, Victoria

A/Prof Lis Evered @lisbethevered celebrating her being awarded an honorary FANZCA at #ASM23SYD, and @ANZCA Vice-president Prof Dave Story who read her citation. This rare honour reflects her significant contribution to the science around Anaesthesia and #Cognition. @WeillCornell – at Sydney, New South Wales

A/Prof Lis Evered @lisbethevered summarising the known knowns (& known unknowns etc) re postop #delirium & processed EEG monitoring at #ASM23SYD. There's more to pEEG & interpreting the brain's response to anaesthesia than just the BIS number! More sophistication needed! @ANZCA – at Sydney, New South Wales

Dr Idit Matot presented some great work on impact of postoperative #delirium at #ASM23SYD. Helpful work with Dr Shiri Zarour identifying that carefully titrated premed #midazolam doses do not increase delirium risk. Stress and anxiety relief is important! @ANZCA #periopcognpia – at Sydney, New South Wales

Don't forget to tune in - this is core to our specialty! Thanks @BJAJournals Linking @ANZCA @ctn_anzca @StVincentsMelb @CritCareUniMelb @WeillCornell – at Melbourne, Victoria

A really good meeting, themed on #Perioperative_Medicine with contributions from @StVincentsMelb physicians and Anaesthetists and an outline of the new @ANZCA PeriopMed Diploma. #Frailty #Cognition #geriatrics #Shared_decision_making @monashperiopmed

Great news from @TGAgovau for decreasing anaesthesia anaphylaxis risk in Australia. Pholcodeine is being withdrawn! Thanks to the advocacy from @ANZCA, ANZAAG.com and many others. It's taken a while to break through...! See tinyurl.com/4x5bf659 – at Melbourne, Victoria

This is important, practical & evidence based advice. It will help the care of many, many women who have had axillary surgery & have been told that arm can 'no longer be touched', even by a BP cuff. It will take time to change culture, and existing preferences must be respected – at Aireys Inlet - Fairhaven, Victoria

Looking forward to a great session this morning unravelling the mysteries of NCD and #postoperativedelirium at #PGA76 – at Manhattan, NY

Congratulations to @lisbethevered on being named Australian Anaesthesiology Researcher of the Year by @australian! A tremendous acknowledgement of vital research into the importance of cognition in outcomes for the elderly @ANZCA @WCMAnesthesia @StVincentsMelb @CritCareUniMelb – at Melbourne, Victoria
