Great news that the FND team at St George’s is expanding in this way! The role will make a huge difference to patient care. These colleagues have taught me so much during my neurology training - an exciting opportunity to join a caring, pioneering team 💙

I was thrown out of Parliament for calling Boris Johnson a liar. Now I feel vindicated. Many are saying I am owed an apology, but this was never about me - it was about exposing lies. But the system needs to change👇🏾 metro.co.uk/2023/06/16/i-w…

I used to feel so proud of the NHS, but it’s heartbreaking to see how it has declined over the last decade. Just hoping that the damage done by chronic underinvestment isn’t irreparable theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Nonsensical false promises. How can we train 60k extra doctors when the NHS doctors who deliver med student teaching are leaving in droves? Hospitals are already beyond capacity for accommodating current numbers of med students. This doesn’t help the real issue - retention.

I did a medical degree in 3 years 7 months. Here's why I think 4 year medical degrees as standard is a truly AWFUL idea.

There are huge regional disparities in FND care in the UK. But it would be really helpful to have more research documenting that If you have FND please help with this research whether you’ve been able to access care or not.

I'm an A&E consultant and I'm tired after a weekend of nights. But this am, I've handed over what I described as a "good department". This was said genuinely and with no hint of irony. We provided great care and have very short waits to see an A&E doctor, but I'd forgotten how

Unconscious bias (which is rubbish anyway) isn't unconscious if you know about it. So here goes... yet again. I've only watched about half an hour of gymnastics so far, but I've clocked "elegant, graceful, elegant and smooth, full of grace, etc." for white gymnasts and...
