NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention. At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem. Let’s dig deeper:

I went outside to top up the chicken feed yesterday afternoon. We’re usually pretty careful about putting the lid on the food bin, but I figured it had been left off by accident. I was about to reach in and grab the scoop, but I looked in the bin first…

How has England’s NHS fared under Conservative governments? Ciaran Jenkins and C4 News FactCheck have been crunching the numbers.

Want to train more resilient doctors? Don't push them, give them autonomy. Athletes who have autonomy-supporting coaches are more resilient. Why? Because they perceive better satisfaction of basic physiological needs.

There is no ‘backstory’ to ending of 2/care NHS Practitioner Health other than (we’re told) - no budget. To remind, it was established following suicide of a psychiatry who also killed her baby and highlighted the barriers doctors have in accessing mental health care.

I have realised the real benefit of the hospital accommodation my generation got wasn't so much that it was free (honestly, some of it wasn't worth paying for!). But that we didn't have to stress about finding somewhere to live at short notice.

I'm seeing healthcare from the other side and realise, I probably don't talk to relatives enough. And I don't understand how we manage this slow process of dying of old age... It feels easier when there is a specific problem and timeframe but that's probably the bias of my job

I don’t use the term acopia myself and agree it doesn’t have a place in modern medicine but I saw this on DNUK (I think) a few years ago and I think it still rings true

One of our IMT docs passed MRCP part 1! I am overjoyed and wanted to share the joy. I know it can feel like no one cares but I will guarantee I'm not the only one who gets excited for their trainee's victories. Congratulations to all who passed, well done!

We need both divergent thinking (generating a wide range of views, ideas or possibilities) & convergent thinking (evaluating, comparing & narrowing down choices) if we want to find better solutions. Too often, we leave out the divergent phase altogether or we don't involve enough

#TipsForNewDocs Don't share pictures of your revision on Facebook.... It will remind you of it years later as if it was a fun party memory

Anyone else thinking we need an ad campaign that says the real experience of cancer is nothing like the movies and that's ok. Sometimes we fight cancer by having a cup of tea, walking around the garden or having a cry and sharing how we feel with someone. It's ok to not be ok

Latest paper looks at why people leave #NHS roles People give multiple reasons for leaving (not just one) We have started to see supervisory burden and taskification emerge as contributory factors. Distress, overwork & understaffing were common rdcu.be/dVtUO

I've not been on twitter for a while but it's my last day working in Gloucester today. I'm sad to be leaving teams of colleagues who I will miss but hopefully I have an exciting new start in Wales around the corner. Any words of wisdom?
