I was told there are hundreds of people waiting in my region alone for uplifts and yet nothing is being done! How much longer am I expected to wait?

@officialcalor I have an LPG bulk tank blocking access to a section of my garden that I asked to be removed IN NOVEMBER. I've called your team fortnightly since only to be told the uplift trucks haven't been on the road since October (>5 MONTHS?!) How do I get my tank removed?

This new research is a sad indictment of NHS bodies and the Government, who collaborated in a headlong rush to expand the roles of physician and anaesthesia associates without first amassing the evidence that the role was safe. Our press response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Issue one - competition ratios When my cohort started medical school, the average competition ratio was 1.8/1, last year it was 4.7/1. We do not know the full scale of the damage this year. However, these are the specialties we have number of applications data for. 2/16.

@thewelshmedic @NWSSP

@thewelshmedic My understanding is that NWSSP is responsible for managing our employment contract as a Single Lead Employer for all trainees, Velindre NHS Trust is our employing organisation, and HEIW manages the Foundation Programme... I've put NWSSP and used the SLE address 🤷🏼‍♂️

Welsh doctors applying for specialty training - what are you putting as "employer name" for your foundation jobs on the employment history section? Your health board or HEIW or NWSSP? Not sure which to put and can't find any guidance 🤔

@dralirobb @RCPath @ACP_Pathologist Thanks @dralirobb - hope all is well with you too!

@JacobCFoster @RCPath @ACP_Pathologist I remember this well Jacob! Hope all is going well for you and thanks for the recommendation 👍

Would highly recommend the #PathToSuccess event for anyone interested in laboratory specialties! Here's a sneaky peek at what went on last year, from ACP news #P2S24 @RCPath @ACP_Pathologist

▶️ Attitudes of UK pathologists and judicial officers towards medicolegal view and grant examinations ▶️Discover how these perspectives influence decision-making in forensic pathology and the implications for future policies @JacobCFoster @SamTaylor475 bit.ly/3VslUil

The SHAPES study is open to any UK medical student or foundation doctor and measures their perceptions of medical specialists' personality traits using a 5-minute online survey. The survey can be accessed via this link: bit.ly/shapes-study.

Thank you also to @ACP_Pathologist for recognising this project with their 2024 Incentive Prize for Junior Doctors - if you're a doctor pre-specialty training and interested in pathology then I'd really recommend this: pathologists.org.uk/awards/acp-inc…

We propose that findings can be understood using the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and that this can be used to model decision-making in forensic pathology 🧵 6/7

Our research on the attitudes of UK pathologists and judicial officers towards view and grants is available in JCP, demonstrating how social psychology can interface with forensic pathology to understand decision-making by death investigators: doi.org/10.1136/jcp-20… 🧵 1/7
