We can confirm that the Trust has declared a major incident. Our Emergency Department is currently extremely busy and we would also ask parents to only bring their children to the Department if it is urgent.

I love Sangita for saying what many are not willing to say

The double standards in the UK against migrants of colour has never been clearer. It cannot be denied @SangitaMyska

Regardless of race and background, these migrants are human beings and deserve the same treatment and fairness that Ukrainians have rightly received.

Best clinical guideline ever…?
Our doctors in training are awesome.

We want more people from deprived backgrounds doing medicine

‘Fab!
Are you ⬇️ tuition fees?’
No

‘⬆️ bursaries?’
No

‘What is it?’
Apprentices

‘Wait, so they aren’t medical students?’
No

‘So more students but they aren’t …students?”
Exactly

‘Who teaches them?’
Meh-details

A health system which can’t guarantee regular food provision or places to rest?
In a “business” which is 24/7?

Doesn’t know the basics of looking after it’s staff

It’s not complicated

Forget the flashy PowerPoints & hashtags

Get your basics right

Leadership innit #NHS

Dear @SteveBarclay,

There seems to be a lot of interest on UK #MedTwitter (@RoshanaMN) in how enticing Australia is for UK docs. Here are a few examples, from a junior doctor who made the move, of the international market you're competing with.

You should be worried.🧵

@JacquiHM @ITV As a doctor working in the nhs I can 100% relate to the struggles shown in this https://t.co/atelPI13jh husband (not a medic) who watch it with me turned to me and said….’wow your jobs really tough’. I replied ‘you finally get it don’t you!’ 🥲. Shame we won’t get a 2nd series.

Binge watched #Maternal season 1 and loved it. A great portrayal of the struggles of women/ mothers working as doctors in the NHS. @ITV please bring it back! #WomenInMedicine #girlpower

[Jacqui Honess-Martin @JacquiHM]

💔#Maternal We had a lot more to say. The show needed a high number of viewers for @ITV to sell advertising to break even. Maternal didn’t get that number. It hurts that it ends here but I am incredibly proud of the show, grateful and a bit amazed that we got to do it at all.

This dialogue …..👌🏾

@Icynectarine @CP4573t5i543 @hckelso Wow. Big difference between you googling something and the doctor googling. BIG difference.

[Desha Wasala 🇱🇰🇬🇧She/Her @DeshaWasala]

Feeling inspired. Fantastic conference on supporting IMG doctors by HEESW

A fascinating quote from today:

‘Accountability eats strategy and culture for breakfast’

As leaders we should:
1. Check our bias
2. Practice inclusion and
3. Be accountable

Huge thanks to all of you standing up for fair pay on picket lines across England today.

Stick together. Fight together. Win. #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike
