Take Aurally

In this episode our favourite Pharmacist Kunal Gohil joined us in DREEAM once again this time to cover antithrombotics. In part one we discuss antiplatetets. Whilst the focus is on Aspirin and Clopidogrel we also cover Prasugrel and Ticagrelor with plenty of pharmacology along the way.

Part 2 covering anticoagulants will be coming soon!

This episode is a live recording of the first session of #UnblindingResearch held in NUH DREEAM 21st February 2018 presented by Jamie Thomas and Claudia Washbrook.

The clinical research approach is briefly covered, discussing literature searches and how primary outcomes might affect the methodology as well as what secondary outcomes are. Audit is discussed with emphasis on the cyclical approach. Finally Quality Improvement Projects are covered, how they are linked to audit, the PDSA format (Plan, Do, Study, Act) and how it can be embedded across healthcare.

Check out the blog entry at www.takeaurally.com for the links mentioned in this talk as well as the presentation slides (p cubed of course).

Don't forget the next session: 'Formulating research questions and designing a project' is in DREEAM on 21st March 2018 with the podcast being released shortly after.

Psychiatry and Mental Health issues are important considerations in Emergency Medicine and part of the Clinical Phase 2 curriculum at the University of Nottingham. Therefore we were delighted when Dr James Ellison, Consultant Psychiatrist with a special interest in Substance Misuse joined the pod in DREEAM to record with us.

This first podcast looks at a general approach to patients with a Psychiatric condition with focus on patients with:

Depression

Psychosis

Personality Disorder

As well as useful advice on talking to patient with these conditions James gives a nice oversight of an approach to mental health in general. Remember to check out www.takeaurally.com for the blog entry for this podcast and follow Take Aurally and DREEAM on both Facebook and Twitter.

Does research leave you feeling double blinded?

Does NNT make you go OMG?

Do you wish p values would just p off?

If you lack confidence in confidence intervals and fail to see the quality in qualitative and feel overwhelmed by the quantity of quantitative then you need #UnblindingResearch!

This brilliant new collaboration between our education and research teams at NUH DREEAM is creating a new curriculum aimed at demystifying research and making it accessible for everyone!

These sessions will be held on the third Wednesday of every month and are open to anyone who wants to come down to NUH DREEAM. For those who can't make it never fear as we will be releasing special Take Aurally episodes every month covering those sessions.
