@DeanEggitt It isn’t perfect but by gosh it definitely is greener+++

UK Doctors.
Before you book your one way ticket to Australia, consider if the grass is really greener...

How bad is the public hospital #health system you ask? Well the cardiologists are refusing outpatient referrals for chest pain, because the department is too busy (overworked / understaffed)... …cardiology...refusing...chest pain... #queensland #bipartisantrainwreck #auspol

@sarah_aslannnn Have done the east coast journey a bunch of times. If you’re close to Euston then train to Waverley is clutch. Fastest is a flight and Lizzie line has made getting to LHR easy so often do that. Flying from LCY is a breeze so also recommend. Bus or tram from EDI into town.

I firmly believe that the whole process of getting study budget approved, then later sending in receipts and loading up forms across multiple systems is designed solely to obstruct and prevent people claiming back.

@jfdwolff @DrLKVaughan @DrSteveTaylor @wesstreeting I never understood this. Somehow it’s not an issue in Australia and patients get medications from community pharmacy but it is in the UK? I don’t buy it.
English
@DrLKVaughan @DrSteveTaylor @wesstreeting Last I saw them, they were locked in the CD cupboard.
The whole idea that secondary care can't issue community prescriptions was bonkers years ago and remains bonkers.
English
A pad of FP10s
Prescriptions for medications are written on them
Drs in hospitals don’t seem to have access to them or electronic versions straight to pharmacy
Providing 1month of a new medication, or enough post-op, saving hrs of patient & GP time
Fix it @wesstreeting simple

@DrLKVaughan @TheSnoozeDoctor When I did my adult ICU time in GC weekends included bread and spread. Consultants brought a variety of bread (award at end of the year for most delicious/bougie) and registrars brought spreads eg Vegemite, biscoff, nice butter etc. Night and day teams enjoyed after handover.

@TheSnoozeDoctor It's my weekend on call.
I alternate between Greggs' doughnuts and a fine selection of internal biscuits from Budgens. For morning MDT meeting.
My consultant 'buddy' (we do WEs together) brings in breakfast - buns and fruit.
A team marches on its stomach!

My flight was 3:40pm. It’s now 8:05pm. Still haven’t left. This incident has caused so much disruption. Worst of all, if our flight hadn’t been late inbound and then also an engineering fault, we’d have left before the security incident happened.

@JoyceSpct Yes, filmed by me. Happy for free use with credit to me. Today 04-Aug-25 at Brisbane Airport between 1740 and 1805.

@CrashCall Hi, I'm with an online news agency, Spectee.
1. Did you take these videos yourself?
2. May we and our media partners use them with credit to you?
3. Also, could you confirm the shooting date/time/location? Thanks!

Massive crowds as Brisbane airport evacuated. Unclear what will happen next and how they plan to re-screen the several thousand passengers here.
English
@sueahearn Good luck! Starting to get people back through security now.
English
@CrashCall Stuck on a Qantas flight, told it will be at least an hour. 20 flights behind us.
English
Confusion everywhere now at Brisbane Airport as re-screening starts: individual flights being called over the loudspeaker to come forward but on arriving at security staff instead giving different information and wishing different flights to screen. Lack of consistency.
English
@CrashCall Hi Craig, I am a reporter with Guardian Australia. Would you be able to follow me back so I can ask a few questions about what's happening on the ground there?
English
All flights grounded at Brisbane domestic due to an airport security breach. Unclear when things will get moving or what will happen next. Stuck on my already delayed flight at the gate. Staff on board lovely while we wait to hear more.
English
Entire Brisbane airport domestic terminal being evacuated. Have just been deplaned to leave and re-screen. Report is that security screening device was used whilst in fault mode and thus some passengers not screened. Now entire place has ground to a fault.

Just finished nights where we had zero catheters in ED, no working MRI, no aciclovir available for my patient, and skeletal nursing and HCA staffing. I had to scour three stores for a blue cannula…
But no… difficult conditions because of the strikes 🤡
#FullPayRestoration
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk
"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.

Imagine someone nicks £40 from your £100.
They give you £20 back, then call you greedy for asking for the rest.
That’s what doctors are facing.
They are being paid 20% less in real terms than they were in 2008.
Full pay restoration is not an unreasonable demand.
English
90% said yes to strike action.
PAs are paid more than doctors.
Sort it out.
Wes Streeting@wesstreeting
After a 28.9% pay rise thanks to a Labour government, patients and the public will be dismayed that the BMA is choosing to strike - and so am I. I have written to the BMA today reaffirming our preference to work together to improve their working lives and rebuild our NHS.
English
@cliffreid Yes. Pros and Cons. Great in right circumstances. I think some seeing it as a catch-all when really it’s good for non-painful or stimulating events e.g. CT in younger children but failing to understand it’s not the right agent other times, and that we expect bradycardia.
English
Anyone using intranasal dexmedetomidine for emergency department pediatric procedural sedation?
