I’m disgusted by the number of F1s and other Drs I’ve seen on my timeline not being paid this month. NHS Payroll is one THE worst thing in this toxic excuse of an organisation. People will be unable to pay their bills/mortgage etc. It’s unacceptable. #MedTwitter

Are you a resident doctor struggling to find a job in the current NHS employment crisis? I’m writing a piece (for The Financial Times) on this issue and would like to hear your experience! Get in touch: [email protected] #journorequest #nhs #residentdoctors

FINALLY- Decision @RCPhysicians investigation Removal from the Council of an elected member Barring standing for elections 12 months By a panel which is unknown - with zero right to reply. (To be ratified by Council on 15/7) For exposing chicanery around PAs by senior…

Overworked, underpaid, and subjected to unnecessary hostility. An NHS doctor was prevented from accessing the ward kitchen for a simple glass of tap water. It’s no surprise so many doctors are leaving for countries where they’re valued, respected, and treated with basic dignity.

We have published a report compiling the shocking testimonies of doctors who have witnessed unsafe practice by PAs and AAs. Patients are being let down by the repeated failures of NHS leaders to keep them safe. Read the full report here: bma.org.uk/media/p13leadh…

With every passing day as a doctor the following realisations become a little bit stronger: ▪️ Medicine is an industry dominated and run by para-medical individuals with a 10-tonne chip on their shoulder. ▪️Tribalism is rife, amongst every healthcare profession except doctors.…

It's my honour to stand for election as President of the @RCPhysicians - at a critical time for the RCP that may determine how physicians practise medicine for decades to come I will fight for the excellence in medicine + the highest standards in training and education…

Confirming our position that there is no role for Physician Associates in general practice – our Chair @KamilaRCGP submits letter to the Leng Review. rcgp.org.uk/getmedia/273f7… #LengReview

Thanks for the shoutout @thetimes But let’s just clarify - I’ve QT’d my original post for reference PA Berkay actually identified himself as the account owner, posting his name and face in the thread. Of course he has now deleted that. And no, he wasn’t mocked. He was…

Recording from a video made by an IMG outlining applications for training in the UK; - never worked in the UK - no NHS experience - no GMC registration (at time of exam) - CREST form signed off by a consultant who hasn’t worked in the UK - apply multiple times.

If you want to support prioritisation of home graduates for specialty training posts, as per recent UKRDC policy. Please get in touch with me directly, I am currently working on something.

Doctors SHOULD have a monopoly over medicine Just as dentists have a monopoly over dentistry Just as pilots have a monopoly over aviation Just as teachers have a monopoly over teaching It is simply undergoing the correct training for the job.

The efforts to replace doctors with other staff; hoping public won’t notice …couched in words such as “trained in medical model”, using the term “physician” wrapped with #BeKind .. Good plans-yet..deception can last only so long And now a lot of #NHS ‘leaders’ have a problem

I really feel for the vulnerable rotating resident doctors who have been bullied & sidelined Forced to do scutt work & told to suck it up, while others with less knowledge & expertise were prioritised That's toxic The attempt to reverse victimhood is spectacular gaslighting

Why the fuck are you not all more up in arms about the fact that General Practice will be obliterated if the National Insurance alterations go ahead? You think your unemployment situation will get better by just sitting on your hands? For fucks sake! bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

So I have received a reply from the clinical director of the specialty service - and I am afraid it is a pile patronising boo-boo. 1/

There is nothing I hate more than the hypocrisy of the old guard of medtwitter Here's one chastising an F1, contributing to them locking their account… Yet 18months earlier was doing the exact same thing Lots of signalling, not much virtue @Medic_Russell

Removing paid breaks is not a wellbeing initiative, it's a cost-cutting measure @MFTnhs   We are amazed that you are trying to impose this change after BMA reps objected. The Junior Doctor Contract you claim to want to mirror mandates paid breaks. Our LNC is on the case.

I'm telling you there's some weird obsessions with humbling doctors in the UK. Since when has introducing yourself as the Doctor that you are been a bad thing???

🚨 This ARRS bullsh!t is seriously getting out of hand. 🩺 Saw a 67F lady with suspected scabies - itchy rash “crawling under skin” w/ typical appearance of burrows on arms. All started after staying in outdoor lodge on holiday. For Pemethrin etc. All seem straightforward?…
