London has spoken. No to Islamophobia. No to endorsing Trump. No to the torrent of Tory lies. Yes to our brilliant, richly diverse city. Yes to the values of decency and compassion. Yes to Sadiq. #KeepKhanAndCarryOn
Hi @maitlis If voters switch from Labour to Green because we supported a ceasefire in Gaza, that is not a protest vote Choosing a party because of its policies is how democracy works Please don’t patronize Muslim voters
It's almost as though millions of us don't give a shit about faith or colour of the people we vote for, cos we're not pustulent eruptions of idle xenophobia, privilege and stupidity, stuffed into the waxy corpse of an exhumed Regency orphanage-worrier

Patients need doctors Doctors need jobs. The govt will tell you that they have a Workforce Plan, that they are training more doctors, but they don't apparently have a plan to employ them. This is horrible for the doctors involved. What a stupid waste. @NHSEngland

Laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by surgical care practitioners - unregulated, surgical versions of PAs. Fewer than one third of case series of 170 had consultant assisting: 7 had only a CT2. Pretty sure this is not what was intended when SCPs were introduced.
It'll never be proven, because it isn't measurable, but the fall in NHS productivity is at least partly down to the loss of goodwill and discretionary effort from staff. The culture around working when unwell and staying behind (rightly IMO) is night and day from when I started.

If your role can only exist with supervision, then by definition you are not an expert in your area. I'm all for hearing arguments in favour of PAs from organisations. There's no need to bastardise the English language in the process, for example redefining medical professional.

The “Placeholder” F1s-to-be will be so stressed by this ludicrous situation, but there’s something practical that as consultants we can do to help: we can offer up our spare rooms for a few weeks to give our newest colleagues a safety net for accommodation and a warm welcome.

People commending Dr Dan Poulter MP for defecting to @UKLabour ignore the fact he has been a Tory MP for 14 yrs supporting underfunding of the NHS, leading to its current state. It didn’t happen overnight. @UKLabour should not take his advice. @DrRobgalloway is a great option
Consultants: "Actually discharge summaries are a crucial part of training, an opportunity to get to understand the whole patient journey, you learn so much from them...." Also consultants: "Complete one discharge summary every 3 minutes for 3 hours without slowing or pausing"
All very well but @DrDanPoulter was a minister in the DoH at the time of the Lansley reforms which sowed the seeds of the shitshow we have today. And suddenly today he’s had a revelation? Disingenuous is the polite word that springs to mind. At least apologise & own it 🤷🏽♂️😡

The story is more how he, as an NHS psychiatrist, could have possibly considered over at least the past decade that support for the NHS was consistent with being a Conservative MP. Like a deathbed conversion, changing parties in the face of electoral oblivion just looks cynical.

Utter madness. Your role, @gmcuk, was to assess her fitness to practise. Is she a danger to patients? No. Meanwhile, you ignore the grave safety concerns of 1000s of doctors over PAs. Increasingly - & deeply ironically - the danger to patients looks like it’s coming from you 🤷♀️

Still can’t quite take this in but my word East Bristol was ready to turn green. Can’t wait to get to work.
... and congratulations to @cara_films with the second GREEN WIN that turns St George Central Green.
🗳️ NEW: Greens won 57% of the vote in Bristol Central (currently held by Labour's Thangam Debbonaire): 🟢 GRN 57% (+10) 🔴 LAB 30% (+5) 🔵 CON 6% (-7) 🟠 LD 6% (-9) +/- vs 2021 local elections
London has spoken. No to Islamophobia. No to endorsing Trump. No to the torrent of Tory lies. Yes to our brilliant, richly diverse city. Yes to the values of decency and compassion. Yes to Sadiq. #KeepKhanAndCarryOn
Hi @maitlis If voters switch from Labour to Green because we supported a ceasefire in Gaza, that is not a protest vote Choosing a party because of its policies is how democracy works Please don’t patronize Muslim voters
Congratulations to my dear friend SadiqKhan on his unprecedented reelection as Mayor of London for 3rd time in the face of a vicious campaign fuelled by bigotry & misinformation A number of people threatened to leave the country if he was re-elected - Goodbye #LondonMayor
If only all the people coming on Twitter to say they hate #SadiqKhan actually lived in London and could vote against him. Most Londoners who have lived through his last two terms admire his dignity, like his policies and are, by a large majority, very pleased to have him back
It's almost as though millions of us don't give a shit about faith or colour of the people we vote for, cos we're not pustulent eruptions of idle xenophobia, privilege and stupidity, stuffed into the waxy corpse of an exhumed Regency orphanage-worrier
The Mayor of London is a Muslim. The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim. The Mayor of Leeds is Muslim. Mayor of Blackburn - Muslim. The mayor of Sheffield is a Muslim. The mayor of Oxford is a Muslim. The mayor of Luton is a Muslim. The mayor of Oldham is Muslim. The mayor…
For a variety of reasons I never thought it would happen, but today my mum met my boyfriend and it went really well 🥰
I’ve learned a lot about care home life since Dad moved in last December. It turns out that if you visit on a Friday afternoon, you might find him holding court in the sun lounge, with a group of women listening to his stories. There are half empty glasses of fizz on the table.
I’ve lost my headphone charging case. Pray for me. I can no longer go outside.
A nice man from UCL Hospital called this week, to say a scan of me showed the cancer I had has all gone. The treatment worked, the cancer bottled it and ran off, the wimp.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by surgical care practitioners - unregulated, surgical versions of PAs. Fewer than one third of case series of 170 had consultant assisting: 7 had only a CT2. Pretty sure this is not what was intended when SCPs were introduced.
It'll never be proven, because it isn't measurable, but the fall in NHS productivity is at least partly down to the loss of goodwill and discretionary effort from staff. The culture around working when unwell and staying behind (rightly IMO) is night and day from when I started.
Public sector productivity 6.8% down on Q4 2019 is pretty worrying. Huge drop. Consistent with what we know: genuine increases in spending, but struggling public services. E.g. activity in hospitals nowhere near reflecting additional resources.
If your role can only exist with supervision, then by definition you are not an expert in your area. I'm all for hearing arguments in favour of PAs from organisations. There's no need to bastardise the English language in the process, for example redefining medical professional.
There’s a culture of folk feeling comfortable openly mocking or complaining about inclusive policies or efforts. Ones that are trans friendly, anti racist & so on. You do not know who is in that room listening to your prejudice. Unable to speak up. Silent tears.
You do not know who is transgender in that room. Who has transgender children, family, parents, partners or friends. I hear this ‘banter’ or complaints all the time. Esp in NHS. It should stop 🛑#BeAnAlly #ActiveBystander
With regard to comments on people of colour & being overly sensitive about microaggressions. I am amazed that people speak of this in front of me. Do you see my skin colour? EDI training has a long way to go.
This happened! Very excited and a bit bowled over tbh. I'm very lucky to work with amazing colleagues and mentors pushing me to think in new ways @rcgp @sapcacuk
