❌“If I call 999 I am guaranteed to be sent an ambulance” ❌“If I call 999 and an ambulance comes, they’ll definitely take me in to hospital” ❌“Going in to hospital by ambulance always means being seen quicker in A&E” Why this won't always be the case and how we'll help ⬇

Weekend thought: Now's a great time to check in on team's new F1s. Glossiness of the new job has lost its sheen as the maze of admin/logistics/politics seems impenetrable. These are not reflections of one's ability to be a doctor. Kind words of encouragement=always valued!

@Aleexxies This! I’ve never understood the difference between docs and nursing staff in the UK when it comes to skill acquisition. So many more barriers and rigid structures for nurses, yet both in the same system!

Me: *butchers cannulas* Nurse: *can cannulate blindfolded by the scent of blood alone* But. They haven’t done internal course, e learning module, 50 sign offs with hands-free technique. Can we stop gatekeeping valuable skills?! #MedTwitter #FY1
