I am a generalist hospital doctor. I do emergency, general ward and HDU work. I have an MRCP. I have worked in haemato-oncology as a junior doctor. I have just done a diploma in tropical medicine (lots of haematology). I have been doing all this for over 30 years. I would not

A resident doctor’s father was seriously unwell. The doctor hadn’t slept. Exhausted, emotionally drained, grieving in real time. They asked to be taken off their night shift. The NHS rota coordinator told them to come in anyway. This is what doctors are up against. Not just

Open the fucking gates. Shame on every world leader for facilitating the starvation and death of Palestinians. Curse Netanyahu and his right wing govt to hell and beyond. Open the fucking gates and let the food aid in.

Trump pocketing Chelsea’s medal too is absolutely ridiculous! He was asked for it back and he said it was his Tariff! How the hell is this okay. 😡😡😡

DO SOMETHING, then. I was a diplomat, once, there’s plenty we could DO, if we truly cared. Words are cheap. Your sentiments are hollow, if not backed by real, substantive action - not just a few token gestures. Do something.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same. It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.

A few years ago, NHS general practices were unable to recruit GPs - resulting in too many people struggling to book GP appointments. We now have many more GPs being trained but don’t have the funds to employ them. Getting them employed would help patients and the NHS.

Dear General Public, There are thousands of Advanced Clinical Practitioners (physios, paramedics, dieticians) who are already working at registrar level in Emergency Medicine and will become EM consultants soon. This is a large scale replacement of senior doctors in EM.

The reaction to this is comical- why is it madness that an ACP (I.e physio) can bypass 6 years med school, 2 years foundation 3 years SHO, but NOT the final years to be a consultant 🫨 you’ve enabled this

Just saw this, and it’s alarming. This is a clear example of inappropriate behavior by some PAs: 🚨Impersonating a doctor 🚨Intentionally misleading 🚨Operating outside their scope A 2-year course does NOT make someone a doctor! Patients deserve honesty and better care!

Doctors unemployed Whilst patients can’t get appointments with doctors Wait lists still at 7.5 million Whilst doctors are replaced with staff that are less skilled Delivering far worse outcomes Sir Jeremy Hunt MP James Titcombe tagging those who love patient safety and lead

Shortcut Medicine is a Myth 1/ Let’s get real: No modular MSc, or “fast-track” program can replace the depth and breadth of medicine without mastering the foundations.

As a parent of a child who almost became a mortality at 6m old of Chickenpox (Secondary Pneumonia, empyema, sepsis) 8-20 children die of Chickenpox each year No child is a small statistic, it’s genuinely worth vaccinating your children, trust me you don’t want to be a statistic

AnE 12 hour waits are at an all time high Replacing doctors with less skilled workforce … is a key part to that problem Yes I’m looking at you AoMRC Royal College of Emergency Medicine et al

I am not sure where to even begin with this! Resident Dr must ONLY BE SUPERVISED BY A DOCTOR. Anything less is negligent. End of discussion!

Why the hell is a nurse supervising a senior surgeon?

Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.

Imagine going to see your knockoff GP (physician assistant) for a lump on the neck, and she says: “Sorry, I need to Google the anatomy. This wasn’t part of my course.” Then, instead of seeking advice from her senior, she fobs off the patient with suspected cancer by assuming

Hugh Bonneville took advantage of a live TV interview at the premiere for #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale to make a statement about Gaza. Watch the face of ITV News reporter Helen Keenan drop as he *goes there*.

Why is the GMC, a registered charity, holding £51.7m in reserves? What could they possibly even do with that money? Why are we paying £463 a year to the GMC for them to run such a huge surplus?
