@Xeon4f145d96s1 @Gerogrios Once you get the UKGs back, yes. Go on. Can't beat lack of intellience except by non-engagement. Adios!

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

@Xeon4f145d96s1 Hold UKGs in. Why send them out? Exit comes first. That'll leave the other countries for IMGs. UK can make certain amount of service mandatory- why not try that first? Double standards as always.

@parthaskar @adrianoise True... but we will always have a few who choose to resist.

If an A&E clinician needs to rely on a GP letter to make a correct diagnosis in a child with acute abdominal pain….

they are NOT qualified to manage undifferentiated patients in A&E.

It is that simple.

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

@IamToyinRoberts @Adejibo Is it possible that IMGs have different communication patterns than which SCA expects? Just wondering. Any data on this?

I was talking to an ortho surgeon about propranolol masking hypo attacks post op and he said 'Riiiiiiight' 🙃

Hi @gmcuk

You didn’t think I’d let you off the hook did you?

So. Why has this “Doctor” - and child killer- not been struck off from practicing in the UK?

WHY IS A CHILD KILLER TREATING BRITISH CHILDREN?

I’ll check in with you later if I don’t receive a response.

HE PROTECTED 54,000 DOCTORS. THE @NHS PROTECTED ITSELF.

In January 2014, Dr Chris Day (@drcmday) was working overnight in the intensive care unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. Two locum doctors didn't show up. The unit was running at double the patient load the national guidelines allow. He raised the alarm. He reported unsafe staffing. He linked the situation to two patient deaths.

That's what the NHS calls a whistleblower.

What followed was eight years of litigation, a legal battle all the way to the Court of Appeal, and over £700,000 of public money spent by Health Education England (@NHSE_WTE) and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (@LG_NHS) trying to stop his case being heard at all.

Here's the really elegant bit. HEE's opening legal argument wasn't that they'd done nothing wrong. It was that whistleblowing law simply didn't apply to them, because they didn't directly employ junior doctors. They were just the organisation that controlled the career progression of every single one of England's 54,000 junior doctors. Totally different thing.

Dr Day fought that argument to the Court of Appeal and won. The law was clarified. All 54,000 junior doctors below consultant grade in England now have statutory whistleblowing protection. One man, crowdfunding against three QCs, changed employment law for an entire profession.

No formal apology from the NHS. No reinstatement. No path back to a consultant career. He has worked as a locum A&E doctor ever since, doing overnight shifts while his opponents collected salaries, pensions, and the occasional glowing tribute to NHS transparency.

During the 2022 tribunal hearing, the communications director at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust deleted up to 90,000 emails. The director whose entire NHS email archive was also deleted during live litigation happened to be the instructing legal client in the case. The tribunal described the conduct as extraordinary. Nobody was prosecuted. The trust issued a partial apology about a press release.

The system did exactly what it always does. It absorbed the cost, deflected accountability, and waited for the man it destroyed to run out of money or energy.

He hasn't.

The next day, I felt a bit under the weather.... educational coordinator warned me about rabies. 🫡

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

Got bitten by a patient... er... wasn't her fault tbh, she thought I was doing a bite assessment and did tell me she didn't do all that... I reassured her (testing grip strength). I didn't know how to react after... 🫣

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

@IamToyinRoberts @rcgp @wesstreeting If you are aware of more data regarding this, please let me know.

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

@IamToyinRoberts @rcgp @wesstreeting I have a more doable idea that needs less effort- make it easy for all PCNs to employ visa needing GPs- automated, one step thing.

@parthaskar @lengreview @DHSCgovuk @DrLKVaughan @DrAsifQasim @DrSelvarajah @doctor_katie @DrSteveTaylor @doctor_oxford @COPDdoc @drpatrickholmes @respirologist @iDrSunny GPs do a lot in short time slots and are at the top of the decision making rung. If things don't work it quickly becomes a vicious cycle, hence they have no option other than to strong arm things into sense.

[Gloriosa Superba @GSuperba]

@parthaskar @lengreview @DHSCgovuk @DrLKVaughan @DrAsifQasim @DrSelvarajah @doctor_katie @DrSteveTaylor @doctor_oxford @COPDdoc @drpatrickholmes @respirologist @iDrSunny I think one of the main reasons would be surgeries are mostly owned by GP partners and PCNs have the ability to quickly change rules that don't work for them. And really quickly. General Practice has 8% of the total NHS budget and offers 30 million appointments a day...

I see a lot of people specially females with anemia and low mcv being treated as iron deficiency anemia without looking at the RBC count. What do they miss is a "" Thal Minor "" or " intermedia " 🤔🤔🤔🤔
