Welcome to our monthly round-up of articles and content that caught our eye in April. As always, a little humour never goes amiss, and here are a few tweets that made us smile:
From cross-purpose communication https://twitter.com/LadyInterlocks/status/1379402257981181952?s=20 to the interesting issue of coding of patients https://twitter.com/Phil_Bessant/status/1382334901844905990
And when you think you’ve seen that scan somewhere before… https://twitter.com/Retlouping/status/1382343686411808772
Don’t forget – if you would like us to highlight an event or conference, or there’s an article or piece of research you think that members would be interested in, please do send us the details.
