@LizzieWortley I did - although I’m too good at it for my budget - I’m getting through my expensive 18+ Lego flowers too quickly 🤣

@RobJimFleming @doc_bipolar @RCObsGyn @RCPhysicians @RCoANews @RCPCHtweets have you looked at supporting this campaign?

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@pepemac27 @rcpch_trainees I often logged each course / workshop / lecture / conference session as a “1-2 hour teaching session” and tagged separately to each.

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@dr_emmacoombe @rcpch_trainees Do you know if this will become enforced like it is for foundation programme trainees?

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@Dr_AlexDavidson I am just finishing my final (20th) junior doctor job - 13 different hospitals, 3 countries, over 16 years. Constantly making and breaking relationships (or potentially not bothering to make/invest as too tiring) doesn’t seem the ideal way to train doctors….

@AliJaneMoore @oxforddoc Also each LTFT doctor needs to have their rota individually checked and the proportion of weekends / how much out of hours work they do and their part time % will change pay. This will vary even for docs of same % as their exact shift distribution won’t be identical.

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@AliJaneMoore @oxforddoc Some senior registrars are paid on the 2002 contract terms and conditions (incl myself) - those who were ST4 in 2016. (Easily possible on a 7-8 year programme if you have several children, work 50-60% of full time, do a PhD, take time out of training for other reasons).

@LTFT_LSP @BMA_JuniorDocs @docrobberts @dominicarr @FlexNHS @LondonPaeds Great work!

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@Matt_Bodell From the perspective of a junior doctor who rotates every 4-12 months, with little choice of where they go, for anything up to 10-15 years it’s awful as you have to fight for a permit each time and sometime never make it to the top of the waiting list!

@DrNickTwit @DrRJWebb @rcpch_trainees My googling can’t find anything on the roll out to all levels / specialities. Please share if you get it. I have the rcpch “guidance”. Seems harder to achieve in DGH world from my personal ST6-8 experience.

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@DrNickTwit @DrRJWebb @rcpch_trainees I hope so. My experience has been it’s aspirational if minimum staffing but rarely minimum staffing so doesn’t happen. Will need to be ringfenced like it is for ED trainees / IMT / F1/2 to happen as there’s always more clinical need.

@GNeelakshi @StGeorgesTrust @Paedsoftlanding @EmmaMDyer @nickprince How do you get the book? @GNeelakshi ?

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@DrSdeG @doc_bipolar A hugh chunk of GP workload is 0-18s, many with acute presentations. Isn’t there a lot of overlap with paediatricians working in PED/general paeds outpatients. In many countries children see “their paediatrician” for everything they see a GP for here. Interested to hear views

[Rachel Jones @DrRachelJones]

@DrSdeG @doc_bipolar Just a question - I often think of middle grade paeds doctors who leave training / non training grades. Why couldn’t a paeds reg equivalent doctor see children in a GP setting? Clearly would need supervision and training in referral pathways, community services etc. just curious!
