Our last summer in Bristol and treated to a wonderful hot air balloon ascent at @bristolballoon. The 4am wake up was worth it!

Excited to be at the @CLUSTER_Tweet Celebration Event at @UCLchildhealth to hear about the successes in JIA and JIA uveitis over the past five years

[Sarah Clarke @Dr_SLNC]

@JamesFasham Fantastic! Massive congratulations

[Sarah Clarke @Dr_SLNC]

@paedsdr I was told that the prospective GMC approval to move CCT date only allowed me to accredit the time against competencies at my current training level. Because I did my PhD as ST3-4 I couldn't count the experience against subspecialty training so there wasn't much point.

[Sarah Clarke @Dr_SLNC]

Fascinating read. A reminder that public health interventions have the potential for much broader impacts than perhaps originally anticipated

🚨Paper Alert🚨 ~ 2 years after the UK Soft drinks Industry Levy (sugar tax) was enforced we find a 21% reduction in incidence rates of NHS hospital admissions for asthma in children, aged 5-18y.

Unwelcome changes to the Specialised Foundation Programme recruitment

Clinical academia is already a tough road... Making it a lottery right at the start is only going to disincentive trainees and compound the ongoing challenge of recruitment and retention of clinical academics.

[BMA Students @BMAstudents]

We fundamentally disagree with the decision by the UK Health bodies to move the Specialised Foundation Programme into the PIA system from 2025 and will fight for students by resisting this change in any way that we can.

1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: So we need to talk about NHS pay. NEW shocking [post DDRB] data just in 4/1/24 👇 (SPOILER: Not "fair & reasonable")

We need to fix pay/retention to fix waiting lists- increasingly clear next GE will won/lost on NHS

Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT

An important article highlighting the current landscape for clinical academics

[Michael Makris @ProfMakris]

Intresting short article in @NatureMedicine discussing the decline in clinical academics in the UK and US. Another issue, not discussed, is the failure to recognise all the components of the job equally, clinical/research/teaching. The interests of Universities and the NHS are not the same and clinical academics suffer as a result. @StephenORahilly

[Nature Medicine @NatureMedicine]

Academic clinician–scientists risk becoming an endangered species.

@gibb_jonathan @gushamilton @clifford0584 @RCollEM @EMTAcommittee @KatherineChin18 We don't just need more academic trainees... We also need to retain them, particularly as they become more senior.
