We are devastated that a COVID hoax conspiracy is gaining prominence. These pictures of ambulances queuing outside of hospitals are very very real. NHS staff need our support more than ever. If you stand with them please RT 💙

To those that say who cares #COVID only affects those w/ underlying health conditions, I say;

⬆️BP. Diabetes. CKD. All relatively silent. You could have one of them. You could be high risk &not even know.

I’m 40, single parent to 2 kids. My life matters just as much.

Think.

@KathrynBanfill @jojo_radebe Loved this thread! And even more excited that we finally appear in something!

[Kathryn Banfill 💙 @KathrynBanfill]

Finally, clinical oncology features in one of these "medical specialities as popular icons" threads. I'll settle for @jojo_radebe!

Can we warn viewers that much of what @BorisJohnson says at PMQ’s is fiction too?

[Fay Tough @FayTough1]

@DrNicolaDavis Also find a buddy! Set a timetable to discuss each tumour type every week.spend some time going over real patients you come across, imaging, palliative and radical options. Get a structure for presenting cases, set up imaging volumes beam arrangement, dose/#, Verification.

@DrNicolaDavis Try and get a day where you can get extra childcare. We put my son into nursery on my day off for 6mo the beforehand. I structured my revision notes for each tumour type. Background, path, staging, curative, non curative, and within that subheadings for chemo, surg and RT.

We have welcomed the wellbeing and retention focus of today's new People Plan instalment from @NHSEngland, but stressed that the aims of the #NHSLongTermPlan will not be achieved without more funding for IT, equipment and staff.

The NHS is understaffed by 207 WTE clinical oncologists - 19%. The gap will increase over the next 5 years unless we invest in training numbers and in better working conditions to avoid early retirement. Find out more: https://t.co/CpPPHFn6i4

This is completely disingenuous, dexamethaone has been licensed for decades on the #NHS . We’re all glad it improves outcomes in some patients but please it’s nowt to do with DofH approving it 🤷‍♂️
