@juliaisobela I used emedica. a bit spenny, but it was their email about msra places going live that meant ik knew about them before the ;official' one and managed to get a local, convenient time sitting
Questions seemed about right.

My F2 ITU job is just constantly feeling dumber than everyone around me :')

@ollyscargill @valhumphreys51 @DrHWazir Iirc, he said it would only happen if BMA agreed last time around. I can thoroughly assume it'll be used as a bargaining chip going forwards
English
@nightflightdan @valhumphreys51 @DrHWazir Wouldn’t bode well for future negotiations if he held off out of spite.

Great news. More doctors applying for roles starting in August will now be able to remain in the UK, rather than moving to Australia.
It makes no sense for us to invest in doctors only for them to have to leave the country else face unemployment.

✅ The Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill has received Royal Assent. 🇬🇧 An essential step towards ending the fierce competition that's stifled UK medical talent. Supporting a sustainable NHS workforce that meets the health needs of patients. More: england.nhs.uk/long-read/medi…
English
@ollyscargill @valhumphreys51 @DrHWazir That Wes hasn't reached an agreement with the BMA entirely suggests that he won't enact it asap.
English
@valhumphreys51 @DrHWazir The bill was fast-tracked through. Needed royal assent today to apply to 2026 intake. Nothing to suggest Wes won’t enact it asap.

@mjsimpsonfilms @toadmeister Except it doesn't ...
"Medical students with disabilities are welcomed and valued by UK medical schools. "

From the medical schools council.

Do try and avoid commenting on things you clearly don't know about.

@toadmeister How are they able to take a medical degree? When you apply for a medical degree, it specifically states that you cannot apply if you have any sort of disability.
English
Junior doctors are claiming to have ADHD and dyslexia to get out of night shifts, NHS leaders have claimed, with one in eight doctors under 35 now classed as disabled, a majority of whom cite mental illness. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/02/doc…

BMA sending out "can we check your details" emails.
I assume the talks aren't going well then?
English
@cmwilliams99 @AnasSarwar Obviously. Doctors are expensive and carry social and political soft-power. If you can oversaturated the market, you can drive down the cost. Cheaper things are less valuable. Drs start squabbling amongst themselves and other NHS staff, and don't trouble the gov.
English
There are currently 1500 medical students starting each year in Scotland, yet only 1100 foundation posts.
How would that work @AnasSarwar - there literally aren't enough jobs for all grads from Scotland to stay in Scotland?
Callum Williams@cmwilliams99
So whilst there are unemployed doctors who want a job but cannot get one, @AnasSarwar @ScottishLabour think the solution is forcing doctors to stay in Scotland. Ridiculous policy showing Labour should be no where near government. ireland-live.ie/news/scotland/…

@cappsperhaps Isn't this what physician associates were for?

The NHS’s pathological opposition to any kind of change is actually comical at this point.
The BMJ@bmj_latest
Doctors and patient groups have raised ethical and safety concerns over plans to nationally roll out an AI tool that writes hospital discharge letters bmj.com/content/392/bm…

Yesterday I was seen by 3 healthcare professionals. None of them introduced themselves or their role to me.
I had to squint to look at their name badge
Is this normal now in the NHS?
English
@dave_dlt E-notes usually means e-prescribing.
The problems are
1. Poor EPR's
2. Being misused by staff to fit how they actually work
3. Poor quality IT infrastructure
4. Low quantity IT infrastructure
5. Stupid networking: STOP STORING USER PROFILES ON INDIVIDUAL MACHINES
English
@dave_dlt Disagree. Computer notes > paper all day long thanks
1. I can easily read what's written
2. I quite like being able to copy paste (as long as it's accurate) it means the most recent note is probably going to have a summary, rather than having to piece it together
English
Question for my hospital colleagues.
To my observation this week, computers have made ward work much worse.
I’m fairly confident people aren’t reading notes before a review, or referral, and this is due to the friction of having to find a terminal.
Is this true?
English
@agemjourney ... what you've taken from it is more important than what you've actually done

@agemjourney Not necessarily. Read the Interview Scoring Guidance #tabThree" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">anro.wm.hee.nhs.uk/ct1#tabThree
Audit/QIP is one option for "commitment to specialty" / "reflective practice" topic, but if you've done teaching, research, other, you could use that here instead ...
English
Is involvement in audit/QIP crucial for getting into anaesthetics? Bc I have been TRYING to get involved in one but can't find one anywhere. #MedTwitter I'm hoping to attend a conference, do taster days, I'm on an anaesthetic rotation now + have teaching experience + PGCert

@DrEilidhMaria NEED the link for the original piece because currently my timeline is just full of ✨ discourse ✨
English
@rojaha58 Could be heterogenous study groups. Maybe doctors have less aptitude and need more input effort and more careful assessment?
English
Interesting perspective! Royal Colleges & medical schools have to explain to Drs why they must train so hard, be so rigorously examined & put up with terrible pay, conditions & debt, when non-medics get to the same place with so very little effort. One way or other must be wrong.
Tim Ricketts@timricketts_
@gushamilton Ultimately, you have to be suspicious of these studies because the question is “can less training equal similar outcomes” So if it leads to better outcomes, the rationale for that is “medical training makes clinicians worse at delivering medical care” which seems ridiculous

@Megsenmumdr @DSNforumUK @JaneEBall @DrLKVaughan @parthaskar @WeNurses @DrAsifQasim @iDrSunny @DrSelvarajah @DrSteveTaylor @UKGastroDr @ShrillaB @Rezaidi @theRCN @alisonleary1 Whilst I completely agree, far too many ward round plans include "refer DSN" when really, it just needs regular cBGL measurement and the corresponding insulin dose changing by 10-20% 👀
English
@DSNforumUK @JaneEBall @DrLKVaughan @parthaskar @WeNurses @DrAsifQasim @iDrSunny @DrSelvarajah @DrSteveTaylor @UKGastroDr @ShrillaB @Rezaidi @theRCN @alisonleary1 Doctors shouldn’t need help to understand ketones, DKA, insulin- they should understand the pathophysiology of it.Our final year med students know it
People who don’t regularly initiate/prescribe Insulin including GPs these days may need support from DSNs, but that’s not same 1/n
English
I completely agree with @JaneEBall
And admire the passion shown by her to ensure Gen Next of Nurses are not undermined by silly policy
As a doctor, I have exactly the same view and passion towards Gen Next of doctors
None of our views are elitist - but about ensuring the public has good safe care.
The voices will continue to grow louder as care continues to slip.
English
@DrEilidhMaria Internal market isn't it. Madness. Take money from pot A to pot B. Pay separate people to manage Pot A and Pot B. Make it Dr C's job to coordinate this transfer, and make it difficult to do to reduce chance of it needing to happen.

@AbbieTBee Something that stuck with me from my F3 ICU job was the 5 R's for an ICU referral
Request?
Reversibility?
Reserve?
Rehab potential?
Respect for patient autonomy

@juliaisobela Cyprus is lovely, though I'd recommend it in late September for reasonable temps and warm seas to get the most from it.
