A grim plane disaster in India yesterday, the wider 🇮🇳 community in the UK will be deeply affected by this as the stories about the victims start to emerge, they are always heartbreaking and my thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected

“International Medical Graduates get more referral to @gmcuk due to lack of knowledge” Incorrect 😊 As part of my role initially with @NHSE_WTE and then in @gmcuk - along with @RaoMala & leadership from @tcgannon et al? We have looked into this and issues have been lack of induction, bias, cultural issues & of course #Racism And we have worked on that Resulting in the referral rate between UK and non-UK graduates, dropping by 62%, compared to data set of 2016-2020 So ..rhetoric is one thing Facts? Different altogether @wesstreeting @DrHNaqvi

It's simple to get #HIVtested  Free test kit? ✔️ Plain packaging? ✔️ And you can do it yourself? ✔️ Dr Ruby is a GP from Kingston & GP HIV champion. Listen to her podcast on simplifying #HIV Testing open.spotify.com/episode/3ur… @NHSEnglandLDN @THTorguk @hivpreventionengland @SWLNHS

Had a chat with a @SWLNHS colleague this morning who talked about how access to CGM had transformed his ability to live and thrive with Type 1 diabetes. I told him I would thank @parthaskar and his dream team mates who have made this happen

A few thoughts on this Holocaust Memorial Day My Granny told me that she first realised that something was wrong when someone in her local grocers ordered “A kilo of potatoes, Heil Hitler” and no one laughed.  My Grandpa - a doctor in Berlin - recalled the letter from a patient who said that he hoped Dr Rosenberg would understand that he could no longer be seen coming through the front door of his surgery but he would now come in through the back where he couldn’t be seen. What he didn’t say - of course he didn’t - was that he was quite prepared to allow a Jew to treat him and potentially keep him alive but he was not prepared to put himself out to protect a Jew.  The year was 1933.
