Author: NIV Sessions Cancelled
We had planned to hold an ITA session in Non-Invasive ventilation next week. Although this is not core curriculum, it is interesting, and worthwhile, so we thought we’d try to fit it in. Unfortunately we simply do not have the numbers of doctors to cover this session as well as everything else, so we’ve had to cancel those sessions. This means you all have a block of private study one day next week. You can look at the East Block timetable and pick something else to do if you wish, or you can use the time however you feel it is most useful.
MDT Moved
Due to the cancellation of the NIV session, we can now do the MDT session in the ITA. This is a far better place to hold the session, so overall I think things will turn out well. The MDT session is one of the new items in the block – I think it is the most exciting addition, and I’m looking forward to going over things with you.
Reminders
I have had a couple of people asking why there are conflicts in the timetable between DundeeChest and BlackBoard. As I said in the first lecture last week, we will update DundeeChest rapidly, first and as a priority, then Blackboard will be updated later. This is a test of change to use a more accessible system, to keep you updated more easily, and in a timeous manner.
The Medical School Office have also been in touch saying that they are receiving queries about timetabling, and tutorials, and all that. Please don’t make their lives any more difficult than they already are – post your questions and queries on the blog, and one of us will reply as quickly as possible. Issues have been raised, and we can sort them quickly – the medical school office are not as rapidly updated on the changes as the website is.
This site has a wealth of information on it. People are still asking me what time clinics are, and when the bronch lists are, yet there is a page up there with the timetable on.
Please make the most of Ask DundeeChest. We are sat around, waiting for your questions on today’s lectures, comments on respiratory medicine, or anything you want. This service drops off significantly at the end of the Respiratory Block, so if you have something to say or ask, do it now, before you lose the opportunity.

I’ve had a message from Dr Wilson who apologises for missing his lecture slot today, a simple case of it slipping the mind. He has assured me that he will be able to cover the material in the two remaining lecture slots on Thursday so you will not miss out on any of the teaching. Of course all the lecture material is available here on Dundeechest if you want to get off to a flying start for tomorrow……
Apologies that you all did not get the pharmacology lecture due at 12.00 today. I am in the process of finding out why not, and what we can do about it. I appreciate that this was the first in a series of three lectures and will see how we can cover the material for you. More to follow when I know more……..
Dr McKinlay delivered her Asthma and COPD revision lecture this morning, and has asked me to put it somewhere useful for you! I’m in Englandshire at a conference, but by the wonder of the interwebs, here it is:
I’ll see you all tomorrow. I have to do a Trans-Bronchial Biopsy tomorrow morning before the lecture, so I might be a wee bit late. I shouldn’t be more than about 15 minutes late, if at all.
Remember to come to the revision lecture armed with questions to discuss. We’ll be talking about acid base balance, oxygenation, how to do EMI questions; and whatever else you want to talk about.
