Doctors received offers for Radiology training posts at around 3-4pm. They were able to accept these offers on Oriel and received confirmation of acceptance. Offers then began to disappear on Oriel. At 6:30pm they received this email. Simply unacceptable.

I have joined a Facebook group called ‘Rate My Hospital Plate’. It is truly shocking what some hospitals in the NHS deem healthy nutritious food. Nutrition is such an important part of health and vital to ‘getting better’.. @jamieoliver @wesstreeting

@gmcuk “…with more doctors than ever before choosing locally employed (LE) roles” When there are ~29k applicants for ~9k core training posts, doctors are not *choosing* LE roles They have no other option

Forever a pleasure to go to these conferences, #VSASM2024 was great! A pleasure to present and meet up with @tricia_tay123, @PPJSucharitkul and @chandini_pc

Up to 82% of pregnant surgeons experience miscarriage, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. Occupational hazards, including prolonged standing, physical exertion, overnight shifts, and teratogenic exposure, contribute to these risks. ja.ma/4eUXVQn

As final year med students preference jobs, a reminder that #Excel is a powerful tool that you can use to help automate the ranking process. Instead of doing all of the work, get Excel to do 90%, and you do the remaining 10%. Here I ranked my partner's jobs in under an hour🧵

@Nawaz_ZS Congratulations Nawaz 🎉

To all consultants who have PAs/MAPs working in your dept If your PAs are doing the same work as your Foundation doctors, then 1 of the following must be true 1. Your PAs are working out of scope at the level of a doctor 2. You are not using your FYs appropriately

Be kind to Medical Students Day UK FPO Allocations out today First year these have been RANDOMLY allocated A lot of young talent being sent places for their first job they’ve never been, worked or chosen This is terribly unfair #MedTwitter

@UKFPO seems to conduct unevidenced practices whilst ignoring consultations of relevant stakeholders starting with the story of the flawed SJT to removal of intercalation points to now the randomisation of entire foundation process including SFP. Randomisation offers nothing and does not remove inequalities whilst the system does not uplift those from poorer backgrounds to say, intercalate and publish through more bursaries/less predatory loans etc. It disincentivises those who work hard for deciles, intercalation, papers and other points. The hard working student will now be demotivated whilst the poorer student will not be uplifted all whilst being forced to move to a random part of the country. Nobody wins. @BMAstudents @BMA_JuniorDocs

Disappointing… removing opportunities for clinicians to engage in research, medical education and leadership is not the way forward

@SarahSillito Congratulations Sarah!

A pitiful 3hrs sleep between night shifts, but woke up to find I had been offered the Vascular ACF post in the NE! Looking forward to working with @SandipNandhra and team over the next few years!

@StanimirrS @imperialcollege @ImperialNHS @LNWH_NHS Congratulations Stan!! 🥳 Very happy for you!!

It hasn’t sunk in yet (and probably won’t for a while) but I’ve been offered a specialised foundation programme at @imperialcollege / @ImperialNHS (with F1 at @LNWH_NHS). Thanks to all those who supported me through the process for giving up your time, it’s hugely appreciated!

Competition for both training posts and locally employed SHO posts seems to be rapidly climbing, and locum market is dead. Are we at the point where doctors might start becoming unemployed?

Our next #DoctorsStrike action in England starts tomorrow at 7am. Junior doctors should not attend any shifts starting after 6.59am tomorrow up until shifts starting after 6.59am on Tuesday. Read the full guidance 👇 bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…
