Today is Parental Mental Health Day- check out my blog for You Okay Doc on balancing being a Dr and Mum !

What are your funny/creative ideas for placards and slogans for the upcoming junior doctor strikes? So far I like: “Pay so bad, even the introverts are here” “First came the claps, now come the slaps” “Doctors: 30% off” “My outrage can’t fit on this sign”

Consultants who are covering the strike. Firstly, thanks. Secondly, pretend you're a new rotational trainee. Look where you can put your bag, park, eat. Don't use your office, use only the chairs and space you are given. What consultant-lvl decisions are you making? Would the f1?

"You knew the pay when you applied" - and it's been cut by 26% "You knew what you were getting into" - and it's been severely underfunded "If you don't like it, then leave." - they are "Why can't I get an appointment?!" - they left. #PayRestoration #RightToStrike #NHSStrikes

Super proud to be working with such an inspirational group of women this year to bring change and support to the NHS 🌟

Government scraps advice on working from home. No news yet on drinking at work.

@PJZolfaghari @QMULWHRI @accpLDN Congrats ! Amazing achievement 🎉

@gillgluck @PJZolfaghari @QMUL Congrats !!! X

Done it! Vaccinated MSc Graduates. Thank you @PJZolfaghari @QMUL

If there was a piss-up at No 10 last Christmas it’s very unlikely Boris organised it. Because, well, you know.

If you are a surgical FY1 and you haven't had a cry about work yet, you are either incredibly good at stress management or emotionally unavailable. There is no in between.

Potentially controversial thought: has the “NHS heroes” narrative contributed to abuse of front line staff? We’ve encouraged the public to think of healthcare workers as infallible heroes, rather than hardworking ordinary people doing their best with absurdly limited resources.

@HartrickOlivia @aspiringsurg @RCSnews @JCST_Surgery Congrats 🎉🎉🎉

Passed MRCS part A exam! What a relief. Next step past B and cst! @aspiringsurg @RCSnews @JCST_Surgery

Given what is now happening with hospital staffing I can’t help thinking the NHS should have vaccinated all patient facing staff as an urgent priority

@zackferguson Hey ! Exeter mess here- food +++ with weekend takeaways for all working. Summer gardening competition. Increased sports equipment budget and talking about doing giving out vouchers to members to buy drinks etc !

Curious to see how doctors’ mess money is being spent now socials are off the cards. Any creative morale boosting endeavours out there? I ask because hospital camaraderie and work banter isn’t why I became a doctor but it is why I stay one

@SomayyehM @RDEhospitals @SurgeryRde @Mcfark @bottomdoc @Neil_J_Smart @robbethune Good luck with everything (not that you need it being so fantastic!!) X

Have had a fantastic year @RDEhospitals @SurgeryRde and am so grateful to everyone for their amazing support. Going to miss you all. @Mcfark @bottomdoc @Neil_J_Smart @robbethune and all those not on Twitter. 🤩🙏🏻 Absolutely love this sketch! 🙌

Junior doc doing extra shifts as a contact tracer gets in touch. ‘I’m paid more to sit at home phoning people to talk from a set script than to wear hot, sweaty PPE for upto 6 hrs at a time looking after covid patients’ Contact tracer £17.35 p/h Jun doc £13.50 p/h for 40 hr wk

I think this will be how we’ll be doing our exit viewing now our landlord is kicking us out @TGraber1 ... still pandemic house move has been nothing but interesting !
