Overjoyed to share that I have a PEM grid training job in Nottingham starting in August. The culmination of a decade of work towards this goal, so thank you to those who helped me along the way. You know who you are ♥️ @UHDBChildrensED @nottmhospitals

🚨 Alder Hey Children's Hospital inappropriately used a physician associate to conduct child protection medicals and forensic examinations of abused children over a 4-year period
New FOI responses and a case study written by the PA reveal shocking details 👇👇

The first time I saw @HewittSusie was during a first year med school lecture. Little did I know then she would go on to be a teacher, colleague, mentor and friend. Always an inspiration, I can’t thank you enough for all your guidance and love. “A cheery wave” goodbye ♥️
Suddenly it’s Happy Birthday and a VERY happy retirement to @HewittSusie. To say she will be missed @UHDBTrust ED & @UHDBChildrensED is an understatement.
An amazing mentor, colleague and friend, to everyone in emergency medicine.
We’ll “crack on and see some patients” now.X

I’m an oncologist and I love my job. But I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing our patients with cancer and I’m striking because I know first-hand that the NHS is failing its workforce. lucygossage.com/my-reasons-f… #ConsultantsStrike

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay
They strike tomorrow
This letter is incredible
I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it
Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting

Dear 🇬🇧,
As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.
#SOSNHS #NHS75
ALT A chart from the Commonwealth Fund 2014 "Mirror Mirror" report ranking healthcare systems among wealthy nations. The UK ranked 1 in nearly every category, including overall ranking. It delivered the best care for the least amount of money, beating every other wealthy nation. We don't need a new healthcare system. We need a new government that will care about it.
Gutted to not be at #Neptune23 today but enjoying everyone’s tweets. Hopefully next year!

Consultants in England have voted a resounding YES to taking industrial action this July.
✅Turnout: 71.08%
✅Yes votes: 20,741 – 86.08%
Together we can #FixConsultantPay now and for the future. Read more: bma.org.uk/consultantspay
ALT A graphic with the word Yes next to a tick box marked with an X. Then a sentence which reads: BMA consultants in England have voted for industrial action on 20 and 21 July. #FixConsultantPay

An absolute disgrace from @Telegraph 👇which shows their shambolic understanding of basic numeracy (just read their public sector pensions coverage for more examples)
“Because if you’ve lost a sum of money, it’s ridiculous to ask for ALL of it back. If we catch a burglar as he’s leaving our house, we don’t ask for EVERYTHING back, that’s “ridiculous”.” 😂😂

11-15 April will be the next round of Junior Doctors strike action in England.
The Government is still refusing to make a credible offer - or any offer at all - to resolve our dispute. Read more: bma.org.uk/juniorspay
ALT A photograph of junior doctors campaigning for pay restoration with placards and banners. The image caption says: Second round of strike action. 96 hour walkout. 11-15 April
Accidentally crossed the picket and spent some time on the other side today. Everyone on AMRA @nottmhospitals was amazing. Thankfully home now - just slightly more irradiated than before 😂
It’s been 2.5 years, 1 wedding, 1 PGCert and 1.5 babies… 😂 I have loved this OOPT so much, except maybe all the night shifts! Will miss everyone, especially all in @UHDBChildrensED ♥️

Hi @wesstreeting - about direct access to specialists, I have questions ... thread 🧵
You have a lump in the back of your head, you want to see a dermatologist. Why not a surgeon?
What if the lump was in your neck. Is it a gland swelling, a lipoma, cancer? Who do you see now?

I’ve never dreading going into work before this winter. Children’s ED is my happy place and at the moment it’s anything but sometimes

Have you ever wondered what the collapse of the NHS would actually look like? It's in the small things - my latest @Independent newsletter: link.e.independent.co.uk/vie…

When people ask what a collapse of the NHS would look like, it's this, it's already here.
It's not going to be bricked up hospitals and no one answering 999, it's going to be lowering standards and rationing care. Acknowledging we can no longer help everyone who calls.
