There's an ambiguity in what AfME is asking for - it's not clear whether they mean their "handbook of best practices" will replace or, will be used alongside the existing guideline. Anyone making a response might want to address that along with the question of how the "handbook" can be best used...

Media markets and media cultures vary hugely from country to country. In the US, local TV and Radio has a far greater presence than in the UK, and while there has never been a large 'national' Newspaper market such as that in the UK, there has been a very strong body of quality journalism...

I don't understand - who is going to "suck it up" ? Patients wanting paramedic supported transport to an emergency department aren't in a position to demand which clinicians will treat them in A&E - either the patient is in need of emergency intervention in hospital or they are not. Having a...

€42mn on a contribution of €6.7bn so yes only around 0.62% of the total UK Horizon spend over seven years: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03598-2 That of course is across all sciences, not just Health. An aspect of Horizon that's often understated is the involvement of 124 non EU...

I think it's worth deconstructing the context rather than the words. Gerada of course has to be responsible for her words and her part in this particular performance but the quote from Gerada is actually quite anodyne in contrast to what the Headline claims. This kind of manipulation (headline...

I think it might be fair comment as immediately it would include colleagues listed here: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/academic-child-health/staff-directory/ not to mention the 1000+ other academics associated with Bristol Uni's Medical School. Thankfully academia exists beyond the BPS Universe even...

I wouldn't read too much into Crawley's connection to this post, a major part of the job is teaching and Bristol's Intercalated BSc in Child Health Research is specified for which Crawley is the course organiser. As a researcher the post holder will have their own priorities and while they may...
