I don’t want to hear talk tonight in our Parliament about a pretend plane that is never going to take off. I want to hear talk tonight about an actual tiny little boy’s body found curled up against his dead father in the SIXTH RICHEST NATION IN THE WORLD 😔

🔥🔥🔥 “If I do a history degree and I end up working in a shop, does that make my history degree worthless? Or does that make working in a shop worthless?” That's got to be one of the most brutally unanswerable questions @susannareid100 has ever asked. Almost felt sorry for him.

Prof Sally Curtis sharing the stage with medical students, bringing qualitative research findings about the experience of widening participation students to life … engaging and powerful #ASME2023

[Laura Knight @DrLauraKnight1]

Great discussion at #ASME2023 session on embedding EDI in research - it was incrEDIble 😉 my takeaway was to start with the end in sight when designing research - with special attention paid to approaches of dissemination @StephBull7 @AmayaEllawala @NabilahMayat @MichalTombskatz

[Laura Knight @DrLauraKnight1]

Brilliant plenary from @DuncanShrew this afternoon. Lots to think about re: inclusive practices and integrating diversity into the curriculum #ASME2023

[Laura Knight @DrLauraKnight1]

Had a great day learning and networking at the @NMS_WP_Forum summer meeting. Lots to think about re: the impact the systemic destruction of the NHS has on widening participation efforts.

@kathwoolf @astamedis @UCLMS @ucl Congratulations Asta!! 🥳

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.

At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.
