Jumping on the bandwagon and joining the #xodus to @bluesky. See you on the other side. @lukeausten.bsky.social
Proud moment after 18 months or so working on it with @JohnCattEd Small Numbers, Big Ideas - published on Friday 22nd November We hope it will be helpful for school leaders, teachers, TAs and parents. Thank you to everyone who read it in advance and gave such kind reviews!
Resident doctors are overwhelmed with requests for help with research, audits, QIPs, teaching med students...the list continues. All for free, on top of full-time work. How To Say No, on @HiddenBrain @mindthebleep #tipsfornewdocs #MedTwitter hiddenbrain.org/podcast/you-2-…
"And, since then, when I've had to have surgeries, I always remember her there, by my side." I thought this 4.5 mins short podcast was a great reminder of why anaesthesia is a special specialty to do. hiddenbrain.org/unsunghero/sam… @HiddenBrain @ShankarVedantam @RCoANews
Thanks Sam @prepacespodcast for having Josh and I back to chat about Decision Fatigue, surviving the night shift and medical rules for life! shows.acast.com/the-pre-paces-…
"There's a lot of areas in medicine where something is done, and the person making the decision actually never learns of the consequence of the decision" @DavidEpstein and @StevenBartlett on Kind vs Wicked learning environments, and why medicine is a wicked one (48:05 to 51:52)

*SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN SURGERY* One of these brave doctors is a friend. I know some of the turmoil they have been through Please read this and sign the open letter to insist on greater sanctions for surgeon James Gilbert @wesstreeting @gmcuk ➡️ forms.gle/bvWrjeJA82HFPR…
August weekends are absolutely critical for recruitment of future physicians. Support an FY1 on call for medicine this weekend and they’ll be the med reg four years from now. Ignore, berate, abuse or bully them and they’ll (rightly) go elsewhere. Be the right kind of kind please.
Welcome to all the newly qualified Doctors who will be taking on their first FY1 posts this week. Good luck! Plenty of #TipsForNewDocs out there - I still stand by this one ⤵️
