I love the people I work with. The teamwork makes the dream work. But really. No doctors in the NHS? OUCH!
Today marks the 77th year of the NHS! 💙
Thank you to all our incredible staff across the NHS for your continued hard work.
From clerks to cooks, midwives to nurses, pharmacists to radiographers and many, many more – it’s our people who make us.

It's lovely to meet such passionate and articulate people! I look forward to being part of this team.
Just some of the @EMTAcommittee at the EMTA2025 conference in Bristol.
Lucky to work with such passionate, motivated trainees from across the UK who are committed to improving Emergency Medicine for current doctors and future generations. @RCollEM
I'm not a surgeon. But started my second second trimester miscarriage in the middle of a busy ED night shift.
Pregnancy is such a short time in your career- please look after your pregnant colleagues
EIGHTY TWO percent.
I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage in my first year as a consultant surgeon. It was devastating. She would have been 17 now. It's just awful to think this is such a common experience for women surgeons. 💔💔💔

If @wesstreeting wants growth and more judicious use of current resources then he needs to sack and reform the @gmcuk
They’re not protecting the public by ring fencing standards in medicine. They’re bullying doctors and only doctors whilst refusing to deal with quacks.
If you are worried enough to even think about assessing your own child please take them to someone else for assessment. Same for you.
I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written
I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases).
Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis.
She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved.
The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C.
As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature.
I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias.
Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u…
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

The main problem is long waits prior to admission. These are the sickest people who need the promptest care. These trends are GOING THE WRONG WAY.
And we've had 20 months where they haven't negotiated to a solution?

True, you have been in the room
It’s where you told us you were more afraid of what the daily mail readership would think rather than actually trying to resolve our dispute
Stellar leadership
I do 38 hours a week and am 'Less than Full Time". My husband does 37.5 hours a week in a Full time job. Make that make sense.
Biggest scam we’ve been sold is working 48 hour weeks when every other average working week is 37.5 hours.
We should be paid bonus rates for those extra 10.5 hours each and every week. I’m deadly serious.
