Medicine is difficult! Standing over my 46 years of clinical practice, I couldn't agree more...

This is, I believe, unprecedented in the history of UK medicine.
28 eminent UK doctors have written publicly to @LaylaMoran, the new chair of @CommonsHealth, to report something nothing less than scandalous.
Read their letter here (1/n) 👇

The photos, above and below, show the sheer joy we all experience from the social aspects of 5kYourWay. Look at the smiles, even on those rainy days ❄️🌧🌨
The Chat, Cake & Craic are terrific.

What a coincidence!
Today, on National Grateful Patients Day, @Jake___Wood featured a story about my oncologist, @KLCRFD @BelfastTrust, providing support to me and other cancer patients as part of @cancer5kYourWay initiative. 🙏 to him and all other @5kYWBelfast ambassadors.
Statistics from Parkrun show that Northern Ireland has the highest level of participation when compared to the rest of the UK and the Republic of Ireland. @Queens_parkrun @BelfastRunClub 🌈🏃♀️🏃♀️ bbc.com/news/articles/czdpmj…

Day 5 of asking.
Hello @gmcuk.
Your public consultation on your intended regulation of physician associates closed on 9 May.
Why haven’t the results been shared with the public?
Please do so.
[Day 1 of asking.]

v. informative re furore about Physician Associates, planned decrease of medical posts top to bottom & impact on NHS 'ecosystem'. Scary for us patients. Driving qualified docs out of UK - (or into private health) & hollow out NHS. Will new HMG stop this? newstatesman.com/politics/he…

THREAD: I asked what the point of Public Inquiries is for @bmj_latest
We've spent hundreds of millions of £ on Inquiries over last decades, generating deep understanding of failures & 1000s of recommendations.
But v few recommendations get implemented!
What is going on?

I relied on this lovely Irish Central article from 2016, as a starting point for this thread, and then went through archives to see what I could add to it.
If anyone found this thread interesting, give the article a read to support good journalism 🙂

I'm afraid not Gemma. The population is aging. People are living longer with complex conditions & co-morbidities requiring specialist care. Our politicians have underfunded the health service & failed to workforce plan for the needs of our population. theguardian.com/society/2024…

I’ve spent 6 years at med school, 5 years in general medical training, 2 years in specialist cardiology training and are referred to as “a junior doctor” yet the fact that NHS management thinks a 2 year degree makes a “heart specialist” tells you all you need to know

Why do we need #HoFH Awareness Day?
It’s a rare & severe form of #FH, which affects cardiovascular health, emotional wellbeing & the #QoL very early in childhood.
Yet, it all can be prevented!
