BBC Radio 5 live - You, Me and the Big C: Putting the can in cancer, About Skin Cancers bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08ywhn…
For medics and non medics, this is a very disturbing read
🧵/
This is, I believe, unprecedented in the history of UK medicine.
28 eminent UK doctors have written publicly to @LaylaMoran, the new chair of @CommonsHealth, to report something nothing less than scandalous.
Read their letter here (1/n) 👇

Had a lovely 10k race at #wilmslow @RunnorthwestRun Great vibe. And faster than last year. Thanks to all the marshals and Wilmslow Striders 💙
BREAKING/
This is a scandalous moment in UK medicine.
Over 80 Fellows of @RCPhysicians have just declared their lack of confidence in the College.
Why?
Because they believe its stance on physician associates (PAs) is recklessly failing patients.
Pls read - this matters. 🧵
So important that you keep highlighting the blatant political machinations behind this pay dispute. Happy Holidays @goldstone_tony ! – at North West, England
1/ Another brilliant interview by @_VivekTrivedi on @BBCBreakfast 👇
As you say @scotgov had the courage to continue negotiations when strikes on the table, avoiding the need for ANY strikes in Scotland, & finding a resolution.
Why does @VictoriaAtkins @RishiSunak not do so?
Thank you Harry for this. Just listened after reading your Times article, genuinely moved me to a tear 😢. Hopefully hear a few more @ManUtd victories announced like the good old days 🤞 – at North West, England
Like many, a cherished memory of mine is hearing James Alexander Gordon read the classified football results on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Well, using AI, nearly a decade after he died, his voice has been resurrected for the modern day. My story here @JAGresults

The Prime Minister @10DowningStreet said today "We were making very good progress before industrial action"
Waiting lists are a #PoliticalCHOICE
RT if you think this 👇was NOT "good progress" before IA & govmnt needs to change course #PayRestoration

1/ 🧵I can't keep up with Mr Barclay's claims about consultant's pensions, last month (17th July @thetimes) it was £60,000 pensions, now the claim is "consultants when they retire *now* aged 65 will get a *tax-free* pension of £73,000" ?!
This morning on @bbcr4today the Health Secretary @SteveBarclay said Consultants get a "tax-free pension of £73,000 a year" when they retire.
This is categorically not true, and we expect him to issue an urgent correction. Here's why 🧵 (1/5)

Same complete BS from this government & thanks to @DailyMirror for highlighting PMs lies👇
Indeed had the Mirror gone even further back it’s even more obvious that waiting lists are a #politicalchoice
Not due to strikes, covid, flu or anything but #austerity
#payrestoration
It's gratifying to read that one of the news organisations in the UK are accurate over the NHS consultants strike, shame about @BBCNews @SkyNews and the others. – at North West, England
Thanks @5_News @catherine5news for the credit & excellent report - much more balanced reporting of the figures than Ive seen elsewhere in the media today!
Just after midnight I heard @kayeman voice those famous words again, "You Are An Ironman" Amazing crowd support from the locals, thank you @IRONMANtri – at Basque Country, Spain
Very sad to hear that IM UK Bolton is no longer continuing, it will become a 70.3, and IM Stafford 70.3 is to be dropped totally. These were my first two Ironman events in 2016 and I raced well behind @lucygoss in both of them! @IRONMANtri @IRONMANUK703 – at North West, England

Just One @Ryanair check in desk open at MarcoPolo airport! Will we make the flight?? – at Venice, Veneto
Considering how bad i felt two weeks ago at #llhm this #manchestermarathon2023 course PB was most unexpected! @adidasrunning
Well this is a step in the right direction, but the annual allowance doesn't go far enough.
It is also very difficult to make sensible life decisions when they fiddle with rules every year.
@goldstone_tony Pension pot boost for nearly 2m Britons
thetimes.co.uk/article/dae31…
This seems to be a chink of light and mentions both annual allowance and LTA. If it stops the NHS haemorrhaging senior staff then that would be a good thing but as ever, let's wait and see. @goldstone_tony @gdcuk @Vish_Sharm telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

8/ Government need to urgently change plans regarding the timing of thie and/or put in place full mitigation so noone is forced to make these decisions, and take a cut in their pension by simply staying in work.
They must also immediately #FixNegativePIAs
