@Rosiemillard Wonderful - after an elective at Jane Furse, I worked for your father in 1985 and again in 1989. Fond memories of him jumping up+down on ashtrays in the corridor outside ward 5 at the old St James Hospital, Balham.

@DrSteveTaylor Please appoint best applicants!

Not sure how this is an ‘olive branch’ to the BMA as this was already in the 10year plan BMA represents all Doctors including international medical graduates who are members A joined up approach to training is vital for the NHS which is under-doctored compared to peer nations

@ThePosieParker @mariacaulfield Shocking

Look at this man. Look at him. His name is Erfan Soltani. They will kill him by hanging. This is the Iranian Regime.

@sarahraviani @mariacaulfield Shocking 😮

Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours. He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death. Reports now warn the regime is preparing public hangings to terrorize the population. More than 10,000 protesters have been arrested since the start of the 2026 uprising. Many could face the same fate. The only thing this regime fears is global scrutiny. Be their voice. Share their names. Expose these crimes. Silence is a death sentence.

@doctor_oxford @mancunianmedic Failed peerage punt?

Yes, Nadhim Zahawi, there is absolutely something sick with Britain – and it’s the sheer brass neck of corrupt individuals like you who fleece the country for millions in unpaid tax, then lie through your teeth about your tax fraud. Let’s not forget that in 2024 Zahawi – who had previously denied paying £5 million to HMRC to settle his unpaid tax - claimed he was being “smeared” by the journalists who exposed him. It was, he said airily, just a “careless mistake”. Well. Which of us hasn’t stuffed £5 million down the back of the sofa and forgotten it was there until the dog found it? It could happen to the best of us. Really, the man is such a perfect match for Nigel Farage’s bunch of avaricious charlatans. Just another multi-millionaire with the morals of the gutter. The sickness in Britain lies in those who whip up division and hate, who deride and punch down, who sneer instead of encourage, who tear down instead of build. They aren’t the majority and they certainly don’t represent us. They’re just a hypocritical minority who think different rules apply to them and have no qualms about exploiting others.

@wesstreeting Please appoint the best candidates

Another Tory mess we’re cleaning up. Reducing competition for training posts. Backing homegrown talent.

@TheBMA It won’t fix it Appoint the best applicants please

@Kevin_Fong Ditto! BTW - why did govt order sterile gowns as PPE? An umbrella doesn't need to be sterile to protect you.

Doesn’t feel like 5 years since we had to learn to don PPE, to work in it all day & make it last because supplies were short. People have different opinions about what happened, we all lost so much. I can only say that in 27 years as a doctor it was the worst thing I’ve ever seen

Sterile surgical gowns and gloves protect patients from infection. A raincoat and PPE both protect the wearer from drop-lets - they don't need to be sterile to do their job. Why on earth was the government sourcing expensive sterile gowns as PPE?

“Shoots fired” ??? Come on @BBCNews !

After a week at a Barbados beach resort I have come to inexorable conclusion that I’m at a Hattie Jacques tribute convention

…. that’s better!

It was all going fine until the ventilator tubes weren’t connected. 🙄 #Disclaimer

14,353 days since I set foot on a ward as a newly fledged doctor. Today is my 9,460th and final day as a substantive NHS consultant. Regrets? A few? Sad to leave? Hell no!

BBC ‘Calucation’? Seriously @BBCNews

@DavidPNoble63 Lovely tradition

3 years ago Helen and I had our wedding celebration. We'd got officially married the year before with 2 witnesses during the pandemic, so we have two anniversaries!! Here we are jumping the broom under the encouragement of my sister who officiated the day!

@briticoyemo Keep posting this - appalling

Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei has suffered burns to more than 75% of her body after she was allegedly set on fire by her ex boyfriend. The marathon runner, who competed in the Paris Olympics, is in critical condition. She was attacked at home. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
