Huge thanks to Doctors’ Association UK for inviting me to give the closing keynote of the Jenny Vaughan Memorial Conference. I spoke on a subject dear to my heart - the insidious "kindwashing" of UK medicine. Is it really a doctor's formal duty - as the now GMC insists - to be "kind"? 🧵


Doctors’ Association UK I want to say this as unequivocally as possible. The job of a doctor is not, necessarily or absolutely, to be kind or popular or fluffy or liked. It is to do and to say the right thing for your patients. However difficult it may be to do so. However tough you may find it.

The Royal College of Anaesthetists is consulting on updates to the draft AA curriculum to align it with the interim Scope of Practice and HEI teaching. We support the changes and urge College members to complete the survey - check your inbox! Deadline: 23 May 2025
