In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. They critique a recent paper that has shown that VITT has been around before vaccines against Covid-19. Importantly, they discuss which patients should be tested for spontaneous VITT- and HIT-like syndromes, and discuss a recent case.
The paper is: Schönborn L. et al. Anti-PF4 immunothrombosis without proximate heparin or adenovirus vector vaccine exposure. Blood. 2023 Dec 28;142(26):2305-2314.

20 Haematology in the Wilderness: Caring for Northern Scotland with Jane Rutherford
In this episode, I chat to Jane Rutherford, a haematology speciality doctor in Inverness. As part of a team of 5 consultants, 2 advanced nurse practitioners, and herself, she covers both NHS Highland and NHS Western Isles, an area comprising over 15,000 square miles and a population of over 350,000 people. Life can be a real challenge - from dealing with snow drifts, tidal islands, and small boats, the team manage to provide first class haematology care to patients with acute leukaemias, ITP, haemophilia, and everything else in between. This is a wide ranging chat about the trials and tribulations as a rural haematologist. If you do want to get in touch with Jane about possibly going to work in Inverness, feel free to email her: Jane.Rutherford@NHS.scot
