The same also applies to the Dame Sheila Sherlock Prize Lecture. Please don’t be a victim of imposter syndrome. You have to be in it to win it! I would also like to encourage my fellow female hepatologists to apply. I wish I had found the courage to apply. It’s a big regret.

Good to see @basl_events advertise the #AndyBurroughs award 2026 The no. of applications has reduced in recent years which will be related to imposter syndrome rather than a lack of young UK research talent Reasons to apply: - Why not - Platform to present - Legacy is important

“It’s not like I’m a bad drinker.” A new study reveals how the stigma of being seen as an “alcoholic” deters people with liver cirrhosis from accepting life-saving support. Read our blog by Dr Christopher Oldroyd (@CKOWork) to find out more. ias.org.uk/2025/06/18/double…

PFI vs PF Eye? Our research shows that outsourced NHS eye care services leaks the same amount of profit in one year as all 100 NHS PFI schemes. From a public finance scandal it is bigger than PFI. Find out how much leaks out in your local area here: chpi.org.uk/the-outsourcing-…

We share concerns from the @CHPIthinktank report that profit margins appear to be driving prioritisation in outsourcing NHS cataract care to the private sector. Read our response in full: ow.ly/PVzb50VGe4Z

Just seen this - unacceptable @MRCPUK that this error occurring in 2023 has (a) happened at all and (b) was only flagged up in 2025. No wonder our trainees are in so much despair. This is a another kick in the teeth. I hope the federation fix this shambles ASAP. thefederation.uk/news/mrcpuk…

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/?)

The idea that using the private sector adds genuine additional capacity to support the NHS is "utter nonsense" says our Director. The private sector is entirely reliant on NHS doctors to do any operations. Without them it would collapse overnight theguardian.com/society/2025…

Collective action is unfortunately the only thing trusts/ employers like @uhbtrust listen to Strong resolve from doctors 💪🏾 An important message to employers who adopt cheap tactics And reminder to doctors to organise and negotiate EC rates to actually match workload
🚨 UHB locum rate cuts U TURN 🚨 @uhbtrust have reversed all cuts to doctors extra contractual work rates. @TheBMA have suspended the dispute. We have shown trusts up and down the country the power of our collective action as doctors. What a WIN for our members ‼️

How did we get to a situation in England where one in four individuals who need a hip replacement must now pay for it? David Rowland our Director explains at our event in Birmingham last month. Watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=yBt09x…

Do we? Or do those we serve raise valid objections to lack of values, consistency etc? Leadership is also about the ability to be able to be challenged publicly.
