We are keen to learn more about challenges for different NHS staff. Please tell us what you think are the KEY challenges for RESIDENT DOCTORS right now. We will let you know what was said and create a poll from the brainstorm. Thanks in advance. RT so this reaches more doctors.

I have cared for 1000s of palliative care patients, Philip, & I find your dismissal of a particular group of people as being 'beyond help' both crude and arrogant. The last months, weeks, hours & even days of life can - and very often do - contain love, wit, tenderness, humour. Only exceptionally rarely is suffering unalloyed, and even in those cases, there is no upper limit to the drugs we can legally provide (in case you were unaware). Plus, there is always something we can do to help our patients - we can provide tender, caring, vital humanity at their bedside, striving to ensure they do not feel abandoned, alone, unvalued and dismissed (as your words, fired off so effortlessly, appear to do). We are all, obviously, 'beyond help' in one sense - being mortal is a terminal condition. But carving up society into two groups, one of which is 'beyond help', is frankly arrogant and borderline offensive. Who, precisely, are you to judge this? And who are you to equate the desire for agency over the timing of one's death with being the 'only' way in which medicine can help a person with a terminal illness? As for your dismissal of @Tanni_GT's view as a "nice rhetorical turn", well, I strongly urge you to seek to understand more about - and opine less to - other people whose opinions may be rooted in experience you don't share. They might - though perhaps this is hard to imagine - be a little more nuanced than yours.

We think both NHS staff and patients should be able to park for free in hospital car parks Please repost if you do too

2 million people signing a petition after the country elected Labour less than 6 months ago: “There must be another election” 6 million people signing a petition to remain in the EU: “How dare they ignore the will of the people” The hypocrisy on Twitter is hilarious 🤣

On reflection it’s bad enough that Elon Musk forces millions of people to see his views on their For You stream, without us encouraging more people to see his nonsense. So previous tweet deleted 👍

This is just a quick shout out to all the security staff across the NHS who do everything they can to keep staff and patients safe. They rarely get a mention, but the NHS wouldn’t work without them.

Healthcare Assistants do amazing things across the NHS every single day but rarely get the credit they deserve. Please spare a repost to say a quick thank you to all of them.

This is the sort of mark up that is added to drugs in America. We must never allow our NHS to be driven by profit.

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Arguably the most awful thing about the behaviour of Captain Tom’s family is that they have no doubt done huge damage to his legacy. The man raised almost £40 million for NHS charities. We really hope everyone doesn’t forgot all of that good because of them.

For the record we think all of the farmers in this country are incredible. Apart from Jeremy Clarkson, obviously, who previously said of striking NHS staff, “frankly, I’d have them all shot.”

Is there wastage and inefficiency in the NHS? Of course Is the NHS more inefficient than other organisations? It’s hard to tell, but existing studies suggest no Will sacking admin staff somehow make it more efficient? You know it won’t So let’s stop this unhelpful nonsense.

Illness is not a business opportunity. Please repost if you agree.

We don’t know who is in charge of communications within the Government, but they need to buck their ideas up, and quick. Trying to turn this into NHS v Farmers doesn’t help anyone.
