@jfwong So many giveaways! Glad I was able to buy one of the secret lairs from you!

Had a dream where I was majorly stressed out because I had to give away a Gaea’s Cradle. Let’s give one away in real life instead. Japanese Gaea’s Cradle, up for grabs. I’ll choose one random person who replies to this tweet, retweets it, and follows me by end of today.

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

My perspective on AAs; a 🧵 I was an ANP before medical school and am now a specialty doctor in anaesthetics. I work with 2 qualified AAs who are excellent, I am often asked for my opinion given my background, so here it is a long thread including my own story.

Great comment from Reddit about the truth behind the Imane Khelif situation

OMG 😱 Farage’s party came second in 120 constituencies They got 12.6% of the votes - 3rd highest vote share They got 2 MPs While the winning party only got 36.9% Oh no, wait a sec - that was UKIP in 2015! #GeneralElection2024 1/5

@caffeinemedic Found this quite reassuring earlier

Great day at @Assoc_Anaes trainee conference today! Some really inspiring talks #tc2024

Is everyone seriously going to pretend that all of this isn’t a direct result of Israel bombing an embassy in the capital of another sovereign state?

I've been thinking about this little nugget for a while now and I've realised it's a selling point that has been imported unmodified from the US. 🧵

Very happy for friends and colleagues who have gotten their anaesthetic training jobs. Unfortunately it’ll be reapplication for me next year, didn’t get a job in Scotland.

I can’t believe what I’m reading! The Director of Education & Standards of the GMC states that medical degrees are no longer needed as non-doctors can use smartphones?! Sure, I may check on current guidance, confirm med doses, etc but not medicine itself! WTF IS HAPPENING!!

@Jenny_Pewsey 558 and interview for Scotland here

The bar for anaesthetics CT1 interview this year is obscene. So far the lowest MSRA score I've seen confirmed to have an interview is 571. Someone on Reddit with 559 missed out Give it a few more years and you'll only get an interview if you score 100%

@caffeinemedic What was cut off last year?

@hlnewey Dundee prior to covid had a 4 week surgery, 4 week medicine. We had just an 8 week assistantship, quite varied depending on ward. Mine was on geriatrics which I found super useful!

#MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter More questions, sorry Interested in hearing from students who graduated from/study at a uni that runs an assistantship model (at Keele the entirety of final year is assistantship) Was it beneficial? Could it have been shorter/longer? Inappropriate?

@caffeinemedic Have you been to Maki & Ramen or Nippon Kitchen? Would highly recommend both!

@coollyndz @WoganCoffee do an excellent decaf!

Need to find some decaf coffee beans for my bean to cup. Suggestions please.

@IamNowAMedic For applying for ACCS you’ll need to sit the MSRA, that’s used for shortlisting for interview

If I want to do ACCS EM, which exam do I have to take first & when should I take it?
