Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.

Please retweet for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

There’s a reason it takes weeks to see your GP & years to get your surgery.

The UK is an under-doctored country; yet thousands of doctors are being blocked from progressing to become Consultants & GPs because the Government has artificially capped the number of speciality training posts.

In 2025 alone, there were 20,000 more applicants than there were training spaces. Doctors are ready to care for patients; but they are left waiting, unemployed, or even forced abroad.

We are short of NHS doctors yet we’re still not employing the ones we already have.

This is the result of years of catastrophically bad workforce planning. @wesstreeting’s proposed plan for 1,000 extra speciality training posts over three years barely scratches the surface of the crisis.

If he’s serious about fixing the NHS, he must address this head on. Until then, both doctors and patients will keep paying the price.

In critically ill adults with suspected sepsis, antibiotic regimens were safely reduced when guided by measurement of procalcitonin but not by C-reactive protein.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

This is not sustainable @wesstreeting. It’s also a gross waste of taxpayers money to be training people in the UK for them to have no job. So much for doubling medical student numbers - our brightest 16-18 year olds know to look at a graph like 👇and look elsewhere

@manairport You aren't covering yourselves in glory today. Our 1030 flight has been ready to depart for several hours and no signs of moving yet. Eight hours late and counting.

The NHS was rated one of the best health services in the world when the Conservatives came to power.

And yet some people would have you believe the system is fundamentally flawed.

We should never forget the destruction that happened on their watch.

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Here’s a situation many of us have seen in the ICU or ED: “It looked like there was ST elevation on the monitor but when I took a 12 lead it was gone?!”

A STEMI went MIA? Here’s a #tweetorial all about why ST segments look different on monitors.
