Today, we’re joining 50+ cancer charities with #OneCancerVoice, calling on the UK Government to fully fund the National Cancer Plan and improve care for those affected by cancer and brain tumours.

@drsgrier @bennoivory @elfyn_thomas As the consultant on call I just need to know if you as a trainee are phoning me for advice or for me to come in, that is what I was taught a long while back, that’s it.

@bennoivory @elfyn_thomas Agree entirely. I say to trainees: ‘consultants are paid to be on call, we’re paid to be bothered, if you’re at all worried, need advice or are uncertain, call me - that’s what I’m there for. And if I can’t help over the phone I’ll come in.’

Can I come in with something positive? As an ICU SHO I was told ‘you’re not paid to worry, I am. If you’re worried call me’ by consultant @elfyn_thomas It’s a phrase I use now I’m a consultant and has always stayed with me

@RetrieveSW @_retrieval meanwhile other members of your fantastic team where doing an amazing job - thank you !

@doctorhelgi @gaslad @Mossbourne6th Reassuringly I absolutely love my job….if you feel truely passionate about becoming a doctor and wanting to help others this will come through during an interview. In order to deliver good pt care you have to care about them. I was lucky enough to meet inspiring role models too

That’s fine, understood. But can you let other people (like me) keep some of my positivity and allow us to encourage others into medicine? The vast majority of my trainee and consultant colleagues fundamentally love their job so I’m not in a massive minority. What are you personally doing to improve the lot of doctors? (Negative posts on here don’t count)… happy to take this arguments into DMs if there’s stuff you don’t want to talk about here.

Good morning Twitterx Today we have our annual pre-medical school interview course for the @Mossbourne6th students hoping to become doctors. What are your top tips for the interview?

Another remarkable year for @RetrieveSW and Adult Critical Care Transfer Services. I am really proud of what our team have achieved and how we've helped change the landscape in the South West. Lots more to do and to come in the next year including 24/7 operating.

@EM_RESUS Listen carefully to patients and families of paediatric patients

If you could share one medical fact with the entire world that you believe would save lives, what would it be?

Well done everyone for getting this to launch. Huge thanks to you all.

A difficult story to read ⤵️ Intensive Care is an incredibly rewarding but sometimes gruelling specialty even in ‘normal’ times. The psychological impact of the pandemic on health care professionals must not be underestimated @ICS_updates @SteveBarclay thetimes.co.uk/article/82cd71…

🕺💃The first set of 'BedDances' to get patients moving in hospital ahead of their discharge have taken place. ‘BedDances’ aim to improve patients' mobility and prevent deconditioning in hospital through creative dance-based exercise sessions accompanied by uplifting music.

@Damian_Roland @BBCBreakfast Very helpful leaflet to aid parents in seeking the right level of support.

The @BristolUni have published this wonderful tribute to our project lead, Dr Amber Young, who very sadly passed away last month. All of us in the project miss her very much and are very proud of what we have achieved so far. bristol.ac.uk/news/2022/octo…

@burnspriorities Amber was a true ambassador for setting standards of meticulous care for burns children and to continuously strive to improve upon them. It was an absolute privilege to work alongside Amber and to be her friend.

It's with great sadness that we learned this week of the passing of our project lead Prof Amber Young. Amber was a remarkable, passionate and kind person who never stopped working to improve burns care for patients and survivors all over the world. We will miss her immensely.

@LeylsTurk most definately
