Reports from Financial Times show 6k+ applicants for just 1700 training posts last year. Doctors are being left in limbo, without posts and unable to progress in their career. In an understaffed NHS this is a scandal. Government must urgently increase training posts. ft.com/content/ddb51e…

boneandjoint.org.uk/article/10.130… via Bone & Joint 360 Prevention very much better than cure - one idea I've had is targeted falls prevention in the community. Large-scale identification of at risk patients using AI and GP records would allow focused intervention IMO

It does not make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do. You have to be run by ideas not hierarchy. The best ideas have to win, otherwise good people do not stay.  —Steve Jobs

Hi folks, I am building a long-term project to promote joint health and awareness (joint-well.com). I have made an attempt at building a website with predictable results - it looks amateurish! What tools/resources are you using to help build attractive websites?

A step in the right direction! More common sense policies on procurement and innovation please
