Appropriate.

@TabletopSparks @Dr_Done_ You’re talking about speciality training i.e. training to become a specialist. A doctor is a doctor the day that they graduate from medical school. They then need a year of work to receive their full license to practice. A consultant is a specialist.

The comments on this post really show how clueless the public are. It shouldn’t still be surprising, but it is: - They don’t know what resident doctors do - They think we also do private work - They think we’re guaranteed to become Consultants - They don’t believe we pay for our own training - They assume we work with Consultant oversight at all times - They don’t believe Physician Assistants are paid more than Physicians - They are allowed to base their lives around earning money, but you should be happy being paid in bread rolls because you chose a ‘vocation’ These attitudes are why the UK is currently a third world country

Great article. I was only able to go to #LAMDA because I was given a full scholarship from the Carne Trust. Something that I’m forever grateful for. thestage.co.uk/news/lamda-cha…

@AndrewB62743718 @rickymidlands Not between £100,000-£125,000 it isn’t, due to you losing your personal allowance.

@rickymidlands Max is 45% … I know I pay it!

Had a nice little bonus at work 👍 But got taxed at 50% 👎 Jesus Christ there's literally no point earning past the high tax bracket in the UK. They literally just do not want to encourage productive people.

@steve6690 @mindjitsu @rickymidlands It’s actually £60,000 now :)

@mindjitsu @rickymidlands Yes, it's a salary sacrifice pension scheme here. You don't pay tax on the money you pay in, and you can pay up to £40k a year in.

@actingtheparty Haha It was lovely to meet you! ☺️

Day 51 of asking.

@MocapVeteran @RichardDorton @gareth_taylor14 @michaelshelford Amazing man

@DrEilidhMaria 30 mins x 3 for a >12 hour shift. Yeah, right.

Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it None of us gained a thing except the super rich Inequality through the roof. #UKRiots

@timricketts_ Typically inefficient.

Sessions my induction has: Hand washing teaching ✅ How to use a pat slide ✅ An hour on fire safety ✅ Things it doesn’t have: A tour of the hospital ❌ Where we go for handover ❌ How the on call system works ❌ My first shift is weekend ward cover on Sat… fun!

@agemjourney Oh yeah. The whole first year for me!

Is it normal to feel like quitting on your first day of FY1 🥹😭😭😭

Meet Declan Heaton from Stoke. He's the one behind the camera laughing and saying, " You know full well that if we can't get them, we're having the shops and kebab houses." After he left school doing little cute dances, he joined the army for one year.

Can’t share this often enough #Riots

@forster_k Terrifying read.

Yesterday morning I should have been outside No 10 reporting. More importantly, my 2 eldest sons should have arrived home after a 9 week adventure across Southeast Asia. But they didn’t…..(thread)

@walsh_joe Make sure that you’re utilising your tax free childcare hours and 20% top up. That’s per kid. Hope that helps, but I’d imagine that you’re probably already doing that.

Any tips from medic parents on how you make childcare work when you are both back at work? Even with both of us dropping to 80%, it’s already looking like a stressful juggling exercise. I already knew with us doing EM + O&G it wasn’t going to be easy - but reality is biting.

@doctor_dru_ Disgusting.

I’m looking for rehearsal space in London. for Sunday 16 June. Reasonably priced 😩 Any recs appreciated. 🙏🏼

@RobertRhodes160 What the fuck?! Sorry that happened to you pal.

Customer at work asked: "Why I have a customer facing position" When I replied "Well why wouldn't I?" She had no words. I will not hide myself to make you feel comfortable. I DESERVE TO BE SEEN.

@rodbishop15 You don’t. You can turn off.
