Thanks for visiting! I am a UK-based Consultant Emergency Physician, who returned to England in 2020 after 15 years  working in North Wales. I am also a GP, and have an interest in acute community frailty: I work in a community-based Urgent Community Response (UCR) team in the West Midlands, but still do a day a week in Emergency Medicine. 

 

This is my personal website: it is not affiliated with my NHS employer (although I occasionally use it to disseminate #FOAMed resources prepared in the course of my duties) . It has been created primarily to enable my #FOAMed resources to be easily downloaded, but you will also find:

​

• Public/patient-facing resources regarding end of life planning/anticipatory care in the #HaveTheConversation section

• A fairly rarely used blog (I used to do most of my thought-sharing on Twitter - @DrLindaDykes)

• Since March 2020 this page has also hosted a page on NHS staff wellbeing during the COVID-19 outbreak
