@Xeon4f145d96s1 Just putting it out there... Why not just put the pertinent information to that day's consultation into your new note? Everywhere I go now everyone is copy pasting streams of summary every day - you only need a summary copy pasted and updated once a week.

Simply not feasible in the NHS. In FY1 one particularly bad day I was rounding on the *entire ward* by myself. No SHO, no SpR, consultant available over the phone from clinic. 26 COTE patients. Give me 15 mins per patient and I’ll re-type everything from scratch.

Reading a medical chart. Same errors repeated over and over again by people relying on copy/paste. Yes it's fast and yes it's easy. But it's lazy, obvious, and it makes for a shitty note. Please stop doing this. I said what I said.

Wait—@BertrandTOMBAL, are you referring to CTCAE grading? If so, with all due respect, the notion that 10% of patients require daily pads for fecal incontinence doesn’t reflect modern RT outcomes. Maybe that was true in the 1980s—or perhaps I’m misunderstanding your post. Would appreciate clarification.

Will the ABR oral board now fail examinees who recommend WPRT for high risk cN0 prostate cancer? @DrSpratticus

@mancunianmedic @iskandarmohamed @timricketts_ @UddinAkhlaque Given the rapidly growing complexity of outpatient oncology (mostly SACT) I think it's a little unrealistic to expect them to be general medics as well. We can get the oncology bits right and accept our gen med will be subpar or we can be mediocre at both. Agree about DNAR tho 💯

long overdue next? they will actually discuss ReSPECT/DNACPR/Advance Planning with own patients so it is not left to the general physician on acute take and learn to do some basic inpatient AIM/GIM so they don't have to outsource it all
The BMJ@bmj_latest

The weekly cancer MDT meeting can cause treatment delays, result in poor quality decisions, and waste clinicians’ time, say @tomroques and colleagues. It’s time for a fresh approach bmj.com/content/391/bm…

@bmj_latest @tomroques Problem now is we have a whole generation of doctors who know nothing beyond discussing everyone in MDT... And stepping away from MDT paralysis will require big cultural shifts. MDTs should only be for controversial cases not catered for by all the algorithms/guidelines we have

@prospectivetACP @D__Melb @cmwilliams99 @drvk_voice It's not about needing the medical degree - these exams are designed for those completing a medical education and pathway. They're meaningless without the preceding medical training and quals- if my cat passed the FRCR doesn't make her a consultant oncologist.

@D__Melb @cmwilliams99 @drvk_voice To pass the part 1 Histopathology exams you don’t need a med degree. As you said it’s non patient facing so no clinical skills needed. A biomedical student could pass that.

It’s astonishing that merely asserting a fundamental truth - that non-doctors are not equivalent to doctors - can provoke such existential distress among consultant-level doctors, as though dissenting were an act of rebellion in North Korea.
Catherine Williams@cathjw

@docib @LittlePersonDoc @KreedKafer @RCEMpresident @gmcuk Hell, I barely feel safe commenting, and am a consultant of far too many years standing, and a TPD with a vested interest in supporting resident doctors/EM consultants of the future. I await my GMC referral 😉😬

@brachyraqi @DrHFRyan Good point, and IMGs /others entering after F2 will have had to have the certificate of foundation equivalence signed (I think it's called CREST now?)

We were late to #RCGPAC because we were getting feedback from our CQC inspection. They've asked about our internal quality assurance process to ensure our GPs are competent in phlebotomy. Any suggestions as to how to tick that box? We both have a medical degree and a CCT in GP.

@Dr_XYZ @parthaskar So we're allowing casual islamophobia from health professionals on social media these days? Would you like it if I painted your entire country or religious affiliation with the same brush? I feel sorry for your Muslim patients.

@parthaskar Arab/Muslim colonialism project and slavery are still ongoing but with no apology or any reparation commitments. They see it as their right. Once a Muslim land, should always be. That's how history works unfortunately. The Muslim occupation/massacres in India were very brutal.

I think if countries stop meddling and destroying other countries? People from those destroyed countries may not have to immigrate to other countries for a better - or in some cases- just to have a life Just a thought. As we blame everything on immigrants.

'If you build it, they will come.' - Field of Dreams. What I hoped would happen is starting to happen - gynaecologists & anaesthetists are contacting me to find out about our pathway for hysteroscopy under sedation. The opening is over, and the end game is in sight! @NHSGIRFT

Ngl the vibe I'm getting from most other residents is that striking for pay is not their priority. They’re more concerned about training numbers + non doctor roles. I’m sure many won’t be happy to hear this but it’s what I’ve noticed from speaking to many other residents.
