Thank you University of Oxford for awarding me this prize - I hope both this prize and publication of my work will raise awareness of the knowledge and expertise of people living with type 1 diabetes and long-term health conditions @oxprimarycare.bsky.social

I think the term ‘knowledge broker’ is an interesting one - to me the ‘broker’ element always has tones of ‘closing the deal’ which might be a bit limiting - what do people think?

Thanks @drlindadykes.bsky.social for drawing attention to the ‘intertwined downward spiral’. Some days that spiral feels like a vortex, from a patient perspective. Spent today arbitraging primary, secondary care and pharmacy trying to get urgent ‘out of stock’ medication. Insulin vials. Failed.

Dr Linda Dykes @drlindadykes.bsky.social · Jan 23

Ironically the success of admission-avoidance schemes is being hamstrung by fragmentation & pressure in primary care (see Rebecca Payne & colleagues’ recent paper) which is also contributing to primary and secondary care being dragged into an intertwined downward spiral. n/3

Pleased to see @bmj.com taking a second look at our paper on patient safety - such an important topic

Trish Greenhalgh @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · Jan 23

The BMJ desk-rejected our paper on safety in remote consultations. It later won Research Paper of the Year Award. Now BMJ is publishing a ‘hot pick’ summary of our findings written by someone else. Ah well, so long as the word gets out I guess! @bmj.com

Thanks for this article, Dana. Quite worrying when AI starts inventing its own medical consultation notes, isn’t it? It’s also so difficult to get mistakes on medical notes corrected, in my experience :/

Dana M. Lewis @danamlewis.bsky.social · Jan 10

AI can make errors when integrated into healthcare systems.

...but so do humans.

We don't have good processes to correct these errors for humans or AIs.

Some thoughts based on three different clinical encounters as a patient, where my clinician(s) used AI - or not.

Hi Alyssa - thanks for posting this @pumptasticscot.bsky.social - a useful summary and a great chart from @dsnforumuk.bsky.social

Alyssa Faulkner @pumptasticscot.bsky.social · Jan 6

I have made a post about how to compare hybrid closed loop insulin pump systems! It can be hard to make an informed decision whilst comparing the different systems, and DSN Forum UK have made a handy chart to do this.

I have just made a feed for the hashtag #T1D this will show all posts on Type 1 Diabetes.

If people like it I can make a #GBDoc and #dedoc feeds.

This might be useful for when #dedoc go to conferences so you can follow dedoc voices posts on Bluesky.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

HCL does make a massive difference doesn’t it, but term-time to holiday is always a pain here. And when they move too much, of course. Or too little! I want a ‘Christmas Pudding mode’ setting!

Nadia Swann @nadiaswann.bsky.social · Dec 12

You’re right, Tim, this is a huge development, making a recommendation for clinicians to support those using open-source closed-loop. Amazing, indeed!

Tim Gunn @twistatim.bsky.social · Dec 10

Just wow..... To see work coming out to this and being recognized is beyond amazing......
The ADA Journal has released the Standards of care in 2025.
To everyone that has been working on this effort, thank you!

Created a Starter Pack for top medical journals on Bluesky. As more journals join, it will be updated, but to keep it manageable, the list is capped at 20. I’ll repost it with every major update.

Striving to keep it as relevant as possible to the field of medicine.

I love the ‘advanced technology is just like magic’ quotation - magical ✨ was the word I used at 3am the first night I watched a hybrid closed-loop system do my ‘keep my child alive at night’ job. Then the alarms started going off and it was more like the tech ‘giveth’ and ‘taketh away’ quotation!

Civics of Technology @civicsoftech.bsky.social · Dec 4

What is your favorite critical technology quote?

We have a list of quotes from Thoreau to MLK to Douglas Adams to Safiya Noble. Educators can use the activity to help students start thinking more critically about technology: www.civicsoftechnology.org/technology-q...

Amazing job, Miles and great support from @jsmhoughton.bsky.social You must have had to eat a lot of jelly beans! I loved your video - and the great tech that supported you all the way #medtech

My son has #T1Diabetes and raised over £2,000 walking the #YorkshireThreePeaks for a fab charity Life for a Child who provide support for #T1D kids in under resourced countries.

He’s a massive #lufc fan as well!

He’d love you to check out his YouTube video of the walk! 👇

Glad you are rebooted, Rebecca! Power cuts make me nervous - not just insulin in fridges, but pump,sensor, hearing aid tech needing recharging. We have camping ⛺️ batteries and a camping fridge… Self-charging #medtech would be a wondrous thing!
