Need help remembering how to compute a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score?
A thread:
How to quickly and reliably compute GCS without having to look it up every time 😎👇🧵🧠

You have voted to reject the NHS pay offer for nursing staff in England.
Next steps:
- Seek urgent talks with UK govt
- 48-hour strike from 8pm 30 April, without derogations
- England-wide statutory ballot to extend current strike mandate

BREAKING: @NHSEngland finally reveals true scale of A&E delays after years of publishing data underplaying extent of 12 hour delays in A&E. New data shows 125,505 patients faced waits over 12 hrs in A&E - 10% of total 1.2m attendees- far higher than record under old metric of 55k
Looks like this says
“these numbers are nothing to do with basic salary and represent poor pay for *extra* valuable work done”
When your basic salary hasn’t shifted since 2008, you learn to read the small print

@oli_m_sims@DailyMailUK@Telegraph I asked 4 months in advance for time off for my 70.3 ironman I am training for. After no reply for 1/12 - told I was put on call & had to arrange own swaps. Physically impossible to swap with any colleagues so then told if I ‘volunteered’ for Easter weekend I could get my AL.
There’s a lot of confusion about junior doctors at the moment. Who are they? How much are they paid? Why are they striking? I’m a junior doctor, and thought I’d do a thread on the topic, so that people can link to it when someone spouts misinformation

@RCSnews@thetimes@mortensen_neil Thank you @RCSnews
The article is not just about sexual harassment - it is also about the way the surgical training system is designed disadvantages women and mothers. There is very clear evidence of this from the IFS. What immediate steps will you take to change the system?
We remain willing to have meaningful discussions about #PayRestoration with @SteveBarclay. However, he has still not brought a credible offer to the table.
This is our message to him, ahead of our second round of strikes 👇

@IRONMANtri@TheRMBF Any support is appreciated and/or music/podcast recommendations for all the training.
And if anyone needs someone to speak to I’m here.
In 2009 I was paid £15/hr as a pool lifeguard.
In 2023 I have a BSc, a masters, a medical degree, surgical postgrad exams and teach junior doctors.
They pay me £19.10/hr before tax.
Many operations don't take the full hour to complete.
