Coding tools in 2026 Just starting off a bit of a thread about what coding tools us Clinicians Who Code are using in 2026? I’ll start off with a few of my own. The last year, and the last few months in particular, have s...

I know there are a LOT of 'Clinicians Who Code' out there - but there doesn't seem to be any single place on the web to go and
find them... Does anyone know of 'the' place?

For now I've created a forum section in OpenHealthHub for them - please do share!

How British Queues Got Out of Hand As a way of dealing with high demand, the age-old practice of forming a long, orderly queue has something to be said for it: simplicity, transparency and equal treatment for all. But no matter how …

Any primary care clinicians out there using something like a Stream Deck to trigger shortcuts or clinical workflows? I’m curious if it saves time navigating an EHR! #medsky

Two scientist walk through a lab. One is saying:
"I am a scientist, Martin. My observations must be meticulously documented, rigorously analysed and objectively verified. Haste is the enemy of wisdom!"

The other asks:
"But could you share a preliminary appraisal of your general thinking?"

The first replies:
"Well, if you insist on a crudely reductive answer, then, yes, I had a nice christmas."

Now that Stranger Things has ended, can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing love letter to synthesizers that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein composed for the show?

Their setup included synths like the Prophet-6, Prophet-5, Univox Mini-Korg, Oberheim SEM, Roland SH-2, ARP 2600, and a lot more!
