@DavidGWrigley @TheBMA For the record, I have never described trainee Anaesthetists as 'a burden'.

Trainees are invaluable eyes and ears in a hospital setting - #Francis #Juniors

Something for junior docs to consider from #Francis: "Trainees are invaluable eyes and ears in a hospital setting." #MidStaffs

MT “@markynorth: mentorship is a fundamental part of growing practitioners and not everyone can do it” Agree! Need the best & development

MT “@markynorth: everyone has same quals/testing on entry to professions why are they diff for nurses, drs, paramedics etc” -shouldn’t be!

MT “@ethicsconsult: spent the day with OUH NHST who are introducing value based interviewing. Is VBI answer to Francis” In part - yes

@hee_ian but the structures have a bad habit of reproducing the same people. We keep replicating in our image instead of diversifying

MT “@chebbes: Easy to say,difficult to do.Look at the Uni selection processes for medicine.Not convinced we get it right.” Totally agree!

@RCPLondon 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going' we will all improve quality of pt care together through education & innovation!

RT @ShaunLintern: Nurses should be present on all ward rounds with doctors - feasible? #Francis” - essential!

Francis is right that culture/values are central to solving the issues he outlines. HEE will play its part. #Francis

We need to test for values and behaviours when we recruit into the NHS, not just clinical/technical skills. #Francis

Being a mentor/trainer should be a responsibility and privilege for our very best clinical role models - not another burden for busy staff
