Today we celebrated #NHS75 with colleagues from across the Welsh healthcare sector at The people who care event at the Senedd. Our Wales board member Asmaa Al-allak joined us, speaking with MSs, including Health Minister Eluned Morgan. Thanks to our sponsors.

The term ‘junior doctors’ does doctors-in-training a disservice. Great news that BMA is dropping the term. I hope others do too.

Couldn’t agree more. Being referred to as “junior” having been qualified for best part of 13 years is unhelpful. Another reason I lament the loss of titles such as senior SHO and senior registrar as these reflected progression.

Celebrating #NHS75birthday. A time of reflection. In our 30th year of supporting our trainees, we are thinking of Brian Rees OBE. He saw a need for training in innovative technique to support the NHS in Wales. Voila WIMAT! Miss him everyday. We'd love to hear your memories of BIR
