@WonPeople @IsabelOakeshott It’s just one of the back alleys around where I used to live as a student in Woodhouse! To be fair it was kinda rough. Once a random kid tried to climb in through my window while I was sat at my desk! 😂

@IsabelOakeshott Just looks like Leeds?

‼️I spent the day in Leeds, in the area where the riots kicked off. The absolute state of our country ☢️ ⚠️ 😢

@JonathanPieNews @susiebear78 Fair summary! 😂

Election Special 4: The Conservatives.

@itseieio Literally clickbait 😂

I made a website. it's called "one million checkboxes dot com". it has one million checkboxes on it. checking a box checks it for everyone. that's it. have fun!

Here are all the nuggets Elon just dropped about the new Tesla Roadster tonight on 𝕏 👀 1/ Tesla radically increased the design goals of this product 2/ There will NEVER be another car like it, if you could even call it a car 3/ 0-60mph <1 second, the least interesting part 4/ It may fly a little 5/ Tesla & SpaceX will collaborate 6/ Production design is complete 7/ It will be unveiled end of this year 8/ Aiming to ship it next year 9/ It will be a rocket on wheels 10/ It has a shot at being the most mind-blowing demo of all time

Hit the wall? Didn't hit the wall? It's the podium that matters, @LandoNorris 😜 #SingaporeGP #F1

@TharushaGunawa4 @RoyalPapworth Got this to look forward to, drive 1.5hrs to remote location and cycle the rest 🥺

We have to recognise the REASON the paramedics in replies are excited. One spelled it out “great to know there are chances to advance my career”. That’s important! But the way it’s being done now, it’s *at the expense* of training doctors & fundamentally changes hosp structure.

@RoshanaMN @theJeremyVine 7 consultant paediatricians: there’s a murderer on the loose! Management: shush now! AI: there’s a murderer on the loose! Management: AI has spoken

The consultants DID catch this @theJeremyVine They have just been so bullied and disenfranchised in NHS culture that they are threatened and disbelieved instead of listened to No need for AI

@dr_irfan_malik @Parody_RCGP Would then still need surgery for bowel obstruction! 😂

@Parody_RCGP Not anymore. There is no connection between upper & lower GI

Pt has anaemia and abnormal FIT. Referred under 2WW. Seen by Surgeons. CT virtual colonoscopy normal. Discharged. Shouldn't they carry on looking for the cause of the blood loss? Or is this for General Practice to keep tabs on these patients and then follow them up?

@SamGoodhand If anything an opportunity to remember the forgotten name of someone who you’ve been working with for a while and now too embarrassed to ask! 😂

How often do you hear this during the WHO surgical brief? “Team introductions? Na I think we all know each other, let’s move on”. 👀 Half the time we don’t, and it’s worth doing properly.

@timricketts_ Couldn’t we pay current medical students to do this? 🤔

In my opinion, university is the best place to learn the anatomy, physiology etc that is required to be a doctor. Want to improve access to medicine? Improve funding for those studying undergraduate/postgraduate medical degrees. Apprenticeships aren’t a good fit for medicine

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention. At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem. Let’s dig deeper:

Don’t worry guys we’ve done yours too @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak

@DocTimLindsay @RoshanaMN @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay So did I work this out correctly - £22/hr for a first year intern upto £42/hr just before consultant? 😯

@RoshanaMN @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay *Based on a 38 hr week, with double pay for every hr past 40. Then there’s the tax benefits! I took home more in 2011 as an Intern in Aus than I do in London as an SpR in 2023, including Ldn and PhD bonuses. There is a fundamental difference in how Aus respects and values Drs

Salaries for Australian ‘junior’ Doctors WITHOUT oncall pay Embarrassed much @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay ?

There has been debate from all sides about recent @NHS strikes by @TheBMA @BMA_JuniorDocs @theRCN vS @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay The government has a duty to the tax payers to spend in the best way possible for the country. Here is how a 20% rise in wages ACROSS the NHS impacts 🧵

@mmamas1973 @LastBlairite We don’t seem to be capable of comparing pay with other professions without offending them, even if we didn’t intend to say they are not worth their pay (see baristas, plumbers etc). Some may not even accept the true worth of doctors either. MPs are perhaps fair targets though?

1. Please show me exactly where I have attacked anyone in the plumbing profession? (Rather than your interpretation of my post). To be clear tradespeople deserve every penny thst they are paid. The current government is trying to undermine public health sector workers and make the system fail. ➡️

1) Don’t want to pay it? Unblock it yourself 2) Yes we should pay Doctors more 3) Attacking self employed small trades people is wrong and totally misguided 4) There is a level of real snobbishness about this way of thinking that’s deeply unpleasant.

@B_G_Gruff @brionytheliony @JamesTitcombe You’re right in implying that striking is only effective if those in charge actually care about the service being affected. Months of trying to negotiate before now failed for the same reason. I worry we’re at the precipice of losing the NHS unless there’s a change of leadership.

@choupolo @brionytheliony @JamesTitcombe But all that has been achieved is reduced safety on inpatient areas, cancellations and increased burden on colleagues. There are no talks ongoing. Perhaps a more effective negotiation strategy could have avoided both

Have avoided commenting on the strike action so far, but for what it’s worth, I think junior doctors are right to demand better pay & conditions. People using the NHS want the people caring for them to be paid inline with the responsibility & professionalism the role demands. Hoping that a fair resolution can be found asap - both the short and long term consequences of getting this wrong is a serious & unnecessary risk to patient safety.

@B_G_Gruff @brionytheliony @JamesTitcombe Consultants are covering urgent care, so the main impact will be on elective waiting lists. Issue is we have been accepting pay cuts for the greater good for years. Now that we risk losing free healthcare altogether due to retention reaching crisis, something had to be done.

@brionytheliony @JamesTitcombe 1. With respect, we don't know that (see images). I have asked if anyone can show me a study that does prove it, but I'm yet to see one. 2. It's also in the BMA's power to stop the strikes. The strikes are not required to campaign for more pay. Why risk harm to patients?

@ShaunLintern If they want ‘in line with other sectors’, instead of 35% most probably would be happy to price match MP salaries.

New in from Downing Street on #JuniorDoctorsStrike - no talks unless BMA drop 35% pay rise ask. Ok, but where is the counter offer from Govt?
