@ProfBootyWizard @medicalmodelbri @CityStGeorges @CityStG_Health I had to do 8 in first year, 8 in second year, 6 in third year plus a 4 month research project with dissertation and viva, 4 in fourth year (they were gentle on us for our first full time clinical year), 12 in fifth year, and I think 5 in 6th year

@medicalmodelbri @CityStGeorges @CityStG_Health Hahahahha They have to do 6 whole exams !

Physician associate claims to have attended ‘medical school’ and studied 80% of graduate medicine in 2 yrs EIGHTY PERCENT! Is this what you’re teaching your PA students @CityStGeorges @CityStG_Health ?

@mrthomasjacques @toast36742904 @timricketts_ Isn’t it?

Let’s make an amazing educational 🧵 Share your own ECG, X-Ray, CT Scan, MRI, blood work, or any other medical images below and see if people can guess the diagnosis. Then Repost.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Have you listened to The Podcast “The Wargame” by Deborah Haynes from Sky news where politicians like Ben Wallace react in real time to a simulated Russian attack on the UK? What did you think? It seemed pretty damning of the ability of the UK to respond.

Have any questions for @campbellclaret & @RoryStewartUK? Ask away 👇

@DrEilidhMaria I did 2 surgical blocks and a medical block as an F1 and did zero clerking that year either. It’s a bit ridiculous. Pure ward cover.

@BruvRoy21806 @SvenjaODonnell @gettagripfolks @katebevan This is what I have: oceansignal.com/products/plb1/

@jcollm1 @SvenjaODonnell @gettagripfolks @katebevan What’s it called, if I may ask? Myself and family/friends hike frequently so this would be very useful.

oh gosh, this must be so difficult for his friends and family. But men, seriously, stop going off on solo walks, especially when it's hot. You're not invincible.

@acweyand What units are you guys using for creatinine I don’t think I’ve ever seen single digits in my life

@talthegooner @wesstreeting I do also get a £5000/year meal allowance, and I actually leave on time, and it feels like management want to help me rather than rinse me for everything I’m worth. So there’s that.

@talthegooner @wesstreeting Dunno where these numbers come from, as a PGY3 in NZ I get paid roughly £65-70k equivalent. More than I would in the UK but not the same as the figures above. Locums would get me £85-110 an hour depending on time.

"Just 12,100 teenagers applied to study medicine at university this year" Can this number in the Telegraph be right? Are we approaching a situation where everyone who wants to study Medicine will get a place, because the job at the other end is so underpaid and undesirable???

@EddCarlton “Afforded time” lol

@derick___f @JDF_Keswick @NHSEngland Yes

I’m a pharmacist in primary care with special interest in hypertension and I would love to know whether this is a “system/process” issue or an individual issue. I’ve seen people with 200systolic bp referred by duty drs sent back to primary care with a ccb as they were asymptomatic

3 patients this week sent from pharmacies with “high blood pressure” to ED. All went in to buy something totally unrelated and offered free-check. Completely asymptomatic. Highest reading between them 165/95. All sent straight to A&E. one offered an ambulance 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ @NHSEngland

@Neil_J_Smart @EightyNine79599 @DrJSherrington @Derriford_Hosp By contrast in the hospital I work in in New Zealand parking costs $12.60 (about £6-7) per week, there’s basically always space. And there’s a separate consultant car park too. Hearing about stuff like this does make me think twice about coming back…

@EightyNine79599 @DrJSherrington @Derriford_Hosp Highly unlikely

@psirides @RobJimFleming @IanSeppelt @iceman_ex @CICMANZ On my medical firm at the moment only the consultant is from NZ. I’m from Glasgow, reg from London, other house officer from Dublin.

@RobJimFleming @IanSeppelt @iceman_ex @CICMANZ mcnz.org.nz/about-us/our-d… NZ thanks your government for their continued contribution to the local health workforce

What Jenna said. Is it worth doing a wee poll with the @CICMANZ and finding out how many Australian intensivists have their primary degree in the U.K. as a starter for 10? And even better- trending that over time? @psirides

@KateAndrs *gasps* #medtwitter #JuniorDoctorsStrikes #juniordoctors #Doctors (yes. This is a joke. 🙄)

People need to understand about derogations that hospitals have been abusing the word "emergency" to force doctors to work for years. Rota gaps known about months in advance and unfilled because of poor rates are declared "emergencies" rather than offering more money. 1/2

@ollyp3 @EmergMedDr I moved to New Zealand. Now the UK has one less doctor. Happy?

@EmergMedDr I’ve always moved when I was unhappy with my earnings (or worked hard for promotion). It sickens me to watch newly graduated without experience feeling they unlike a qualified developer or coder should not get experience related pay. You clearly lack vocation.

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 The highest locum hourly rate I got in the UK was probably about £58. For a night shift in an extremely busy and short staffed A+E as an SHO (more senior than an F1). I’ve now moved to New Zealand and get $140 (£70)/hour for a 9-5 house officer (same as F1) locum as standard.

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 These are what the BMA say the NHS should pay. This is certainly not what the NHS pays by an extremely long way.

I’m a medical registrar. I’ve been a qualified doctor for 10 years, in training for 16. Out of hours, I’m the most senior physician on site caring for acutely unwell patients. I recently returned from paternity to work 60% as it’s the only way we could make childcare work. (1/4)

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63

@Personoftalent @zackferguson @5012Carm @righty63 You can do extra shifts, but these are EXTRA and the hours are already pretty unsociable. If you can find me a bank F1 shift paying £62/hour I’d love to see it. In Glasgow it would be ~£19 if the extra shift was 9-5, slightly more ooh, a lot less than £62
