@doctorcaldwell @DrLKVaughan @DrGrumble @AndrewElder @somersetwyvern Thank you for writing a letter like this. By contrast my Educational Supervisor told me I was an excellent doctor but nobody looking to employ me will care about that, they'll want to see publications, presentations etc. She told me I was unemployable. (I have my MCRPCH.)

Remember when Senior Doctors in the UK were allowed to write honest professional references? By serendipity, I was in contact today, 22y later, and all I wrote has proved to be true. @DrLKVaughan @DrGrumble @AndrewElder @somersetwyvern

@AshleyyC90 @veggieequallife Sorry but we don’t get paid rest breaks. We are working as per PA in job plans but breaks are our own time, not paid but most of us work throughout our breaks, doing admin whilst eating my lunch on the go, so NHS gets at least an extra 5hrs for free out of each of us……..🤔

@veggieequallife Also doctors get paid rest breaks. Those on afc pay scales have unpaid breaks. A nurse working FT will be paid for 37.5 hours work but will be at work an additional 3 hours it’s just unpaid time. Just different terms of employment

Why is it that... 1️⃣ NHS doctors are contracted full time as 40 hrs/week while most others work 37.5 hrs/week as full time 2️⃣ Yet NHS doctors get the same annual leave days as everyone else So we work more hours for the same leave entitlement? But if you go LTFT down to 80% or less then your annual leave also is reduced pro rota? Genuinely confused

@paediabricks @dr_irfan_malik Agree, same here, get these type of calls from lab regularly. Bloods in primary care of pt not known to me/us but results abnormal. We then have to sort out. Contact family, take history and if needed ask to attend for treatment or prescription etc Maybe we are paeds suckers?

@dr_irfan_malik And in secondary care we not infrequently get calls from labs out of hours about bloods done in primary care, and act to ensure patient safety. I'm not entirely sure what the point of this tweet is.

@PhilipsSonicare can you let me know which usb travel charging case will work with my new Diamondclean 9000 series HX9911/84 as mine sadly only came with standard case 😢. I’m struggling to work out which charging case is right one to buy and where. Thanks. Birgit

@StenaLineUK That’s great to hear. As loyal traveller 4x/year for 30years, it’s only second I’ve been able to reach gold so is good to read this extra is still there. Thanks for swift replies as well.

@StenaLineUK have I seen correctly that you’ve removed the lounge upgrade for gold members on the Harwich-Hook of Holland route? Why? What’s the benefit left then to have gold membership. It’s hard enough to even reach it but to find you quietly removed this perk is annoying ++

@StenaLineUK Ok, thank you. Good to know. You might need to adjust the info on your website then as it only lists UK-Ireland routes for this advantage to be valid for……..hence my surprise. Glad to know it’s still there 👍🏼👍🏼 (PS also valid if cabin for day boat booked?)

@bvm1612 Have you got outsiders pitching up to do WLI work? or is that just emergency locum cover?

There’s a company called Litmus who are doing the rounds of NHS trusts. Allegedly the modus operandi appears to be recommendation to slash the rates for existing staff and use of locums instead. interesting who the CFO also is CFO for… let me know if they turn up at yours!

@trentconsultant Yes, happened at Mid & South Essex (worst financially performing trust). Trust cut all doctor bank rates with immediate effect. Consultants were reduced by £20/hr and resident doctors by £5-10. Guess what…..…now lots of shifts unfilled & no bank cover 🤬
