Streeting says he will soon roll out patient power payments, where patients will decide if the provider should get the full cost of their care based on the quality of care. Starting with women he says this will "kick medical misogyny where it it hurts."

SO EXCITED to be moving to Townsville to serve the community as a Pain Management doctor. :D You and your pain are valid and important and I will do all in my power to learn, listen, and help you.

@timricketts_ You neat potassium, eat a banana! And
Have you drank enough water? Are two of my mums favourites.

You can be a doctor who’s been working for 5 years, hold MRCP and almost be a registrar, but your Mother will still give you advice about minor medical maladies
I assume this will continue if I ever become a consultant

@bambibristol @Jenny19712201 Surely this is a parody?!

@SM314789 honestly the only thing holding me back is that my friends and family are here lmao
English
man i literally did MRCP part 1, have an MSc in immunology from a SCHOLARSHIP THE RCP GAVE ME (which doesn’t count for anything), and a PGCert in MedEd etc etc and got rejected from IMT what’s the point lol

@ishsulin @timricketts_ COME TO AUSTRALIA. seriously.

@timricketts_ LITERALLY LMFAO all i’m asking for is to be a glorified SHO ward donkey for a few more years please

@AriReddy FY2: 80% LTFT
6/12 geris ...no out of hours (they didn't have the money...)
6/12 inpatient psych (long term pts, if ill transferred to hosp)
4/12 Paediatrics (TY Crosshouse for being the only good placement in 3 years)
Did this prepare me for acute medicine? Not. At. All.
English
Most universal healthcare systems train competent doctors in 5–6 years.
Only the NHS stretches “training” to 8–11 years by using juniors to plug rota gaps and cover service work that has nothing to do with learning.
That’s not higher standards — it’s a structural choice that’s now breaking the pipeline.

@juliaisobela is right! 50mg sertraline + 70mg Vyvanse (Lisdexamphetamine) daily here.
How can I ask my patients to overcome their shame if I hold my own? I can't
Fortunately, I have no shame.
What do you do? My best.
Dr Ju@juliaisobela
Today I went to clozapine clinic for my monthly bloods + picking up my meds Clozapine has been instrumental in keeping me mentally well & I’m not ashamed to have to take daily meds for my mental health, even as a doctor myself *nobody* should be ashamed for taking MH meds

I've got an interview for ACCRM!!! It's... 2 hours long :o ! Any insights? Prep? I can't possibly express how badly I want this!
I'm hopeless and awkward and desperate for #ACCRM

@AriReddy Amen.. I'm in Australia now as an SHO studied in Edinburgh. FY in Glasgow. After 3 years I sometimes feel I have the same skills as an Australian intern... And I'm now almost 5 years post exams so forgetting the knowledge after years of service not using it. #byebyenhs

Most people don’t realize how unusual the UK’s doctor-training model is until they compare it internationally.
France, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands — all move doctors to independent practice years faster.
The UK isn’t the norm. It’s the outlier.

@LittlePersonDoc @EMManchester EVERY ONE?! wow... I would sacrifice a goat... As a dyslexic w/ terrible short working memory I begged for a laptop because once I find a computer & login even with my notes I forget things...and of COURSE you can't edit the typed notes...and it'll be deleted if you turn around!
English
@EISSEM @EMManchester Every cubicle here has a computer plus the dreaded COW.
If that’s not the case then dreadfully inefficient.
English
I see half the number of patients I saw before EPR.
Slow, clunky, and poor infrastructure mean I am much much less efficient than I used to be.
Tim Coats@TJCoats
Surprisingly little research on EPRs effects on quality of care and productivity. Probably decreased productivity in ED due to: 1) writing notes on paper while talking to patient then transcribing into EPR after. 2) login time. 3) slow typing 4) searching through ‘too much info’
English
@LittlePersonDoc @EMManchester You can do that if you have your own laptop but if while dept shares 7 computers in the pod... That doesn't work. You're going back and forth, either writing the typing..or missing things if relying only on memory of each history and exam
English
@EMManchester It’s great for chasing up results and requesting further investigations and making referrals. Can do it all from the one spot.
I type as I take the Hx. Not ideal but tried the scribble notes then type after option and it was too inefficient.
English
@kcisc I wasn't doing that independently as an FY2 ... Dodgy. AF. Also...why would a physio WANT to sutures and assess head injuries? That's...not their job. Like why would a hairdresser wanna be a manicurist just cause they notice nails?
English
I took the screenshot on the left from an official NHS website pushing the 'advanced' roles.
A physio (who has many people he disagrees with blocked - hence the quoting) who is staunchly defending expanding roles of physios in primary care, agrees it is out of their scope,

Folks always be queuing to board the plane like there's no assigned seating.

@Oxfordite Yeah Def. Considering my ED work I'm actually rarely ill
English
Got my bloods done today...then called into work for overtime as understaffed. It's no fun being on both sides.
HR 100-130 at rest with palpitations & pressure often for a few hrs at a time . Going on for months. FINALLY got my ass to phleb for baseline bloods. Wtf, body?
GIF
English
@Oxfordite Interesting! I have started taking a multivitamin as my diet is awful wondering if I had any deficiencies but worth checking! I mean I am anxious but it's NHS trauma, I think I heal ok..
I don't damage myself much so not sure haha.
English
@EISSEM Not advice.. but memorable person with such a racing 'baseline'(!) HR was vitamin A deficient..
UK ~only tests gastric surgery patients - maybe Australia is more flexible?
Review your dietary sources and symptom list (night vision, bright light, skin, anxiety, slow to heal..) 🙏
English
I truly wouldn't have made it through the past 5 years without strangers on Twitter and their support. Thankyou
I'm in Australia now, healing slowly. 6 months into a 1 year ED job.
And... I got BOTH jobs I applied for next year :) NT and Sunny Coast Crit Care
