Working as an A&E registrar during the pandemic vs playing ‘Jake’ in #Breathtaking. Watch it tonight at 9pm on @itv and @itvxofficial. Written and produced by the brilliant @doctor_oxford, @jed_mercurio and Prasanna Puwanarajah, and starring the wonderful @JoFroggatt. #NHS

Appropriate.
NHS staff are desperate and patients have experienced untold disruption, but the Government refuses to lift a finger to negotiate a compromise to stop further chaos. This is a Government that’s clocked off for Christmas, leaving NHS staff picking up the pieces. Disgraceful.

Day 51 of asking.
Hello @gmcuk. Your public consultation on your intended regulation of physician associates closed on 9 May. Why haven’t the results been shared with the public? Please do so. [Day 1 of asking.] gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive…

Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it None of us gained a thing except the super rich Inequality through the roof. #UKRiots

Meet Declan Heaton from Stoke. He's the one behind the camera laughing and saying, " You know full well that if we can't get them, we're having the shops and kebab houses." After he left school doing little cute dances, he joined the army for one year.

@RoyalAirForce states that people with #Autism Spectrum Disorder are ‘normally unfit’ to join and people with #ADHD have to be ‘symptom and treatment free for 1 year’. This is not only discriminatory, but shows a total lack of understanding of the conditions. #RAF #MedTwitter

For starters, #Autism and #ADHD aren’t ‘Psychiatric Disorders’. Secondly, some people who are #Neurodiverse actually excel in these environments. #ASD, by definition, exists on a spectrum, so saying that people are ‘normally unfit’ is a gross overgeneralisation.

If someone has #ADHD, they don’t just become ‘symptom free’. Saying that a person should be ‘treatment free’ for 1 year is adding to the stigma associated with the condition and discouraging people from seeking a diagnosis.

🧵 There is a national shortage of doctors, particularly senior ones - consultants & GPs. Yet that shortage has been government manufactured, as the data below demonstrate. Training numbers for NHS medical specialty training have not risen at all for the past 8 years ⬇️
Internal Medicine Training (IMT) programme. Yesterday, the IMT ranking came out & the August 2024 statistics are: 6174 applicants 3682 interviews 1603 posts Below is the data from previous years. imtrecruitment.org.uk/docume…

Nearly 5M viewers in the UK have watched #Breathtaking in one week, and the number is still rising. So many people are finally seeing for themselves the untold sacrifices of #NHS staff in the first year of the Covid pandemic. All three episodes are now streaming ⁦@ITVX.⁩

David Harewood: “My wife went to the theatre the other day, it cost her nearly £200 - who could afford that? We all need to start talking about it and protecting it because if we’re not, if we’re not careful it will vanish.”

I have no agenda. I don’t do & have never done private work. I’m just a nobody grass roots GP who’s deeply concerned about the state of the NHS. I’m also a patient with young children & aging parents & I’m scared that the NHS won’t be there when we need it. That’s it.
