@timruss2 Humans are the exact opposite of ants: individually intelligent but collectively stupid!

This is why we are stuck with Trump.

Busy slides don’t make you look clever. They make your message harder to follow. Here’s how to say more — with less: 🔗 speakhuman.kit.com/posts/say-less… #PublicSpeaking #PresentationTips

@PKalambettu This is indeed disappointing @BAPM_Official. I expected better from an @RCPCHtweets affiliated SIG! Show this: rcpch.ac.uk/resources/sas-… to your conference secretariat and rectify accordingly to save me from having to discuss exclusion by omission at SAS Committee yet again!

Are the SAS group welcome to attend. Cannot see them in your list

@thomasforth Forgive me if it’s been mentioned already and I just haven’t sent it. IMO, your thesis lacks consideration of socio-historical factors that have prevented this from happening organically. E.g. rivalries like Manchester vs Liverpool and Lancashire vs Yorkshire etc.

England has two potential megacity urban areas. Both about 20 million people. Both 200km across. We've already built the blue circle, centred on London, a very strong economy. We could built the red one if we wanted. Currently it's a very weak economy.

What is the best opening theme to a TV show?

@NiallHarbison Dogs’ ability to utterly convince us they’ve never before been fed using only their eyes, is the only proof I’ve ever needed that our species’ co-developed!

One of the smartest boys you’ll ever come across. Bubba the actor. Fully deserves an Oscar 🥰🙏😂 (7/7)

This is Bubba a street dog I have fed every day for over 2 years. He is one of the biggest con artists you have ever met. This is the story of how Bubba deserves an Oscar (1/7) 🧵

@TheSpaceshipper There is a time jump in the story. Perhaps they’re simply waiting for the players to age sufficiently?

The Expanse started 9 years ago today on Syfy! It will soon be three years since the TV series ended, and I haven't given up hope that the last three books will ever be adapted. Far from it 😌

@DrRJWebb @Xeon4f145d96s1 That’s one of my favourites too. I also enjoy wearily asking if they actually meant pneumonia or pyelonephritis (whichever applies).

@Xeon4f145d96s1 “Which organ is dysfunctioning in a life threatening manner?” Is a question I have asked at many handovers.

i hate how normalised ?sepsis (chest vs urine) has become

@NICU_Musings Babies do indeed do the very best underwhelmed looks! Same goes for joy, but they pale in comparison to their unimpressed looks!

Newborn rises to social media fame from their “unimpressed appearance” Too young to be an influencer? #neotwitter

@Barrister79 I like stollen too! I must seem deeply weird to you! I care not!!

As a result of my earlier tweet, I have now established that there are at least 4 offending Christmas items which need to be resigned to history: 1. Christmas Pudding. 2. Mince Pies (with the exception of those that have icing on the top) 3. Stollen 4. Mulled wine. 🤢🤢

@Barrister79 @LittlePersonDoc Imagine a cross between Fred Flinstone and Homer Simpson and you won’t be far off! Another time, he presented me with porridge for breakfast that was in a cake mixing bowl and must’ve consisted of a whole box of oats and a half gallon of milk!

@PJRose83 @LittlePersonDoc Ah your Dad is clearly a legend.

Do you think it’s time we all admitted that Christmas Pudding is pretty horrible ? 🤢

@LittlePersonDoc @Barrister79 I am the only one in my entire family who likes it. My Dad said one year that he’d make me one. I imagined a 👊-sized individual one. Nope. It was twice the size of my head and on 🔥! I felt like Bruce Bogtrotter and his chocolate cake in Matilda!

@Barrister79 Haha. Have long since said this. My in-laws do fried Christmas pudding as part of a Boxing Day breakfast fry 🤮

@sas_sobauk 70 members, 200-odd NHS Trusts in England so short 130+. It looks like we still have a long way to travel…

We have more than 70 members of the SAS advocate network. These lovely people were just the curry fans who stayed behind for a Balti.

The SAS Advocate role was introduced in 2021 to amplify SAS voices, combat bullying, and serve as visible SAS contacts in trusts. Yesterday, the SAS Advocate Network of England met in Birmingham. Advocates are enhancing SAS lives—does your trust have one? If not, ask why!

@leannehdu @gmcuk

@gmcuk And the number of SAS doctors, despite the new specialist contracts, has not grown greatly? Why are trusts not taking advantage of sas contracts to develop local stable expert medical workforce? #sasbychoice #abilitynotgrade

We're pleased to share the second in our annual series of #StateOfMed reports – Workforce. This focuses on the changing shape of the medical workforce across the UK. This year’s report shows that the medical register continues to grow, as does the diversity of the doctors on it. Doctors’ career paths are also changing, with more doctors than ever before choosing locally employed (LE) roles, working outside of formal postgraduate training pathways and with local contracts. In England and Wales, where data is currently available to us, the number of LE doctors grew by 75% between 2019 and 2023 – this makes this the fastest growing cohort on the register. As we look to the next decade, it’s critical that all doctors have the infrastructure, support and resources they need to achieve their ambitions. That’s in the interests of doctors, as well as the interests of a growing and ageing population. Discover more insights and key statistics by reading the report on our website gmc-uk.org/-/media/docume…

I wonder how many are ‘choosing’ to be employed on local contracts? Many possibly are, as training programmes are inherently inflexible. Most are probably victims of training bottlenecks because of arbitrary restrictions on NTN’s. Lots more I could say but nuance isn’t for X!

@LittlePersonDoc @gmcuk Prescribing is a responsibility, not a right.

@gmcuk I suspect that most would rather keep their money and await the outcome of the review. No point paying for regulation if the role is restricted to that of an assistant, is there? Those prescribing rights and ionising radiation requests seem far off right now.

Over the coming weeks, we’re reminding all physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) that registration will open on 16 December 2024. PAs and AAs on the voluntary registers will be invited to apply for registration by the end of January 2025. We're encouraging PAs and AAs not on the voluntary registers to apply as soon as they can from 16 December 2024. You can find all the latest information on how we’re preparing to regulate PAs and AAs on our 'Getting ready for regulation' webpages gmc-uk.org/pa-and-aa-regu…

@2manypeople4me @iDrSunny For some reason my 🧠 went here…

@iDrSunny Advert seems to have been pulled already, even though closing date was 3rd Dec. Wonder if that means the job is pulled, too?

After all this - we have a PA in vascular advertised at London NW Trust 37.5 hours Normal hours Pay around £55k Tell me why we have doctors without jobs or speciality training again?

@Doc_IonaCollins Apparently so. AI in the form of LLM’s is thick as 🐷 💩! I saw a 🧵 a while ago proving I t’s made computers bad at maths! As funny as that was, I still think this is my favourite mistranslation:

@PJRose83 Fantastic. So, editing a Wikipedia article can mislead AI. I've learned today. Thank you/ diolch :)

@parthaskar @lauradonnlee @Telegraph @doctor_oxford @DrAsifQasim @mmamas1973 @ShivaniM_KC @DrLKVaughan @UKGastroDr @RowanHarwood @COPDdoc @respirologist @kidneydoc101 We really have to simplify and standardise job titles. Speaking as a former LED & current SAS doctor, the myriad confusing titles is especially detrimental to my tribe! Yet another thing that traces back to MMC!
