Lovely to pop in to see Team ED @UHP_UEC @UHP_NHS to wish the wonderful Liz happy retirement … been a nurse since 1978 and at Derriford for over 25 years and clearly loved and respected by her colleagues. Wishing you well Liz xx

@RobJimFleming @iDrSunny For a little bit of money and love they could bring a lot more value. It makes maximum financial sense to retain them rather than create newer layers of PA or AA. The time is ripe for SAS to get structured and organised and push their case forward.

@AMU_Tavy @Acute_Medicine @DerrifordNurses @UHP_NHS Even saw you doing portering! Thank so much for helping out.

@jburnmurdoch @FT @NHSDigital @NuffieldTrust @ONS @bankofengland @OBR_UK @theRCN @unitetheunion @SCoRMembers 29/29 Our NHS is on its knees (left). Our 7m+ waiting lists and rising avoidable deaths are not due to striking NHS workers, or (just) covid, but due to political choices. RT if you want government to make the choice to fix this mess now & properly #payrestoration #fixDDRB

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Couldn’t agree more with the strong messaging from @RCEM_VP @RCEMpresident about our inability to deliver the care we want to in the current situation!

I hope that you find the latest #gppaedstips post both useful and timely. As the UK seems to have all but run out of oral antibiotics, what is the deal with group A strep in children at the moment? gppaedstips.blogspot.com/2022/12/group-… #FOAMed

My take on high sensitive troponin. I’m sure @richardbody @barbrabackus and @louiseacullen will be along to correct me if I’m not 100% on it. 1/12 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…
