2 yrs ago today,
my daughter had open heart surgery.
She was 5.
As a paediatrician, I felt helpless
As a mum, I was terrified.
One thing happened that day, one thing the anaesthetic team did that I will never forget... 👇🧵
"You’re going to die one day, and none of this is going to matter. So enjoy yourself. Do something positive. Project some love. Make someone happy. Laugh a little bit. Appreciate the moment. And do your work."

Fantastic progress on 24/7 staff access to food in NHS Trusts with the publication of these national standards, making it a legal requirement, including hot food 🙌
Also great to see @BMA_JuniorDocs Fatigue & Facilities Charter linked as a useful baseline.

Female IMGs are 3 times more likely to be SAS/LED than consultants, whilst white British males are 2.5 times more likely to be consultants than SAS/LEDs.
This data should trouble us more than it does.
