Imagine passing some of the hardest medical exams in the world against all odds
Continuing your career. 2 yrs later told you didn’t actually pass
Or
Failing your exam. Your career stalled for years, as you can’t progress without. 2 yrs later told actually passed
1/n 🧵
I’ve finished crying about this and now I’m just full of rage.
How can you do this @MRCPUK? I don’t understand. What do you mean your auditing processes found an error? 1.5 years later?!
A refund and a free booking for a resit is not enough. Show us what went wrong 😩
(n/?)
I’m speaking on a podcast for foundation doctors and residents as part of my role as LTFT chair? What do you want residents to know about LTFT training? If you are a resident what do you want to hear?
That awkward ST8 feeling of arranging “chats” with clinical directors to see if there will be any jobs at the right time for your CCT…
Following the news of the Southport incident as a mother of young girls and paediatrician is harrowing. I know the girls will have the NHS’s finest working to save them, thoughts with all and hoping that psychological support is available for the brave staff looking after them ❤️

I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’.
Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃

This is a crucial step to protect children’s health & reduce pressure on the NHS during winter.
Thank you to the 2,000+ paediatricians & healthcare professionals who signed our open letter & helped make this happen.

Pregnant? Congratulations!
From 1st September, you can protect your baby from the single commonest reason infants are admitted to hospital, which is absolutely tremendous news.
Speak to your midwife or GP about RSV vaccination.

I spoke to the reception teacher at school today about cars with their engines running outside the school gates with the RCPCH Clean Air Charter in mind. Amazing chat and she’s going to email the council to get the zig zag lines extended 👏🏼

Rishi Sunak now permanently has the look of someone psyching themselves up for the next OSCE station knowing full well they failed the last three
Had the privilege of speaking at @RCPCHtweets Educational Supervision Roadshow this afternoon about my ES of 10 years in a talk about Longitudinal Educational Supervision… an overwhelmingly positive experience for us both 🙌🏻
I am absolutely loving my Gen Paeds rotation after the trauma of PICU. With consultancy looming, is this a rebound love or true love? How can I tell? 😂

I can’t say how furious I am. occupational health in our deanery is reached through HR referral, that step makes it feel disciplinary. our GPs are already overstretched and there’s unique needs for medical professionals seeking mental health support that PHP just “get”
Me as an ST11 Paeds reg 😂

Wow amazing work by my friend and colleague @LaurenDhugga. Rather raises the question with the intensity of work, is the 48 hour “full time” week outdated?

You may have seen healthcare staff in the UK wearing this yellow badge with their name on it.
But do you know the story behind this?
Dr Kate Granger MB was an NHS doctor who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011.
During a hospital stay in August 2013 with post-operative sepsis, she made the stark observation that many staff looking after her did not introduce themselves before delivering care.
It felt incredibly wrong that such a basic step in communication was missing.
She decided to start a campaign, primarily using social media initially, to encourage and remind healthcare staff about the importance of introductions in healthcare.
Introductions are about making a human connection between one human being who is suffering and vulnerable and another human being who wishes to help.
Dr. Kate Granger passed away in 2016, but the message she left is still going strong.
Remember, this isn't about wearing a yellow badge. This is to remind ourselves the importance of introductions & developing therapeutic relationships with our patients.

There’s nothing wrong with wellness interventions for your team (yoga,pizza,massages) but they must be the ‘cherry on top’ of your hard work getting the basics right:
Timely rotas
Timely annual/study leave managemnt
Inductions
Teaching
Culture of respect
Etc
The yoga comes last
#medtwitter any left handed paeds / PICU / NICU people have tips for nasal intubation. Could not grab the tube with the forceps no matter how hard I tried.
