Winston Howard could barely walk when he finally sought help. #Immigration policy’s effect on the #NHS will only create more situations like his

My piece in @IndyVoices highlights this unecessary fear mongering

Deeply sorry for yours and your family’s loss @matt_theknife
Dr Vaughan’s impact was keenly felt through her patients, colleagues, juniors as well as the large number of doctors she helped through @TheDA_UK

[Jenny Vaughan | Just Culture for all in healthcare @DrJennyVaughan]

It is with a heavy heart to share that the amazing inspirational legend @DrJennyVaughan peacefully passed away yesterday, Easter Sunday, surrounded by family. (@matt_theknife)

@rob_aldridge @IHME_UW Congrats Rob - Seattle’s a great place to live - hope you and the family enjoy it there!

Many have warned of this. A slow grind deterioration of standards may lead to easier headlines but worsened patient care. Politicians of all stripes need to put patients not media startegy first

As ever a must read from @ShaunLintern

Glioblastoma multiforme is a brain cancer nicknamed "The Terminator" because its so deadly. The Sunday Times talks to @shitscaredmum about her new fight launching this week for improved NHS care for the cancer that took her daughter's life 1/4

For anyone who would like a genuine answer to question 1 rather than the usual uninformed hyperbole that raise the usual zombie arguments on #NHS

https://t.co/UE6te4wssR

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

1. Who copied the NHS?
2. Despite recent reforms it is still a massive top-down, centralised structure. Just look at latest manpower planning.
3. How much of the £182bn public funds allocated to health in current financial year is temporary, Covid-related?

[Dolin Bhagawati @Grumpybraindoc]

“What are your plans to retain staff in the #NHS?”
“Why should they stay and not leave?”

The most pertinent questions to ask a health secretary / govt minister on NHS staffing. Ones that Steve Barclay doesn’t get asked

I lost my dad to covid whilst I was working in ITU. Are there other Healthcare workers who lost loved ones during the pandemic due to covid out there? Also keen to connect with those who lost loved ones who were healthcare workers due to covid. #hcwcovidloss

Unfortunately there are so many like Dr ‘Max’ - either stuck in asylum or prevented from taking #NHS jobs due to Home office delays.

Some doctors even ended in immigration detention as one anon doctors tells their story 👇🏽

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

‘Max’ called my show @LBC. He’s a doctor who previously worked in the NHS. His home county fell apart. He’s been stuck in the broken asylum system Suella Braverman won’t fix for 2 yrs. We need him but he’s barred from working. He feels demonised by this Govt & considered suicide

MPs are demanding action to make brain tumour research a "critical priority", after a landmark report showed child survival rates have remained unchanged for decades https://t.co/f4WjcQrfpR

On #OverseasNHSWorkersDay fixing these visa issues is a simple way for the govt to help the #NHSCrisis and make these doctors lives easier

There simply isnt a downside so why is it so hard to fix?

[Dolin Bhagawati @Grumpybraindoc]

Today is #OverseasNHSWorkersDay

Doctors on non permanent visas are a vital part of the #NHS workforce. Without then hospitals and GP practices would not function

Yet the way they are treated often doesnt show appreciation, here is one harrowing story

Below are reputable organisations currently working to help those in Turkey. There are thousands still trapped and thousands in need of food, blankets, clothing etc. £1 = 22.5 Turkish Lira. Small donations can go a long way. Anything you can spare is greatly appreciated:

[Dolin Bhagawati @Grumpybraindoc]

When there is a report about “millions towards #NHS or #socialcare” the reality is that it doesnt get to where it is supposed to

Talking “reform/bureaucracy” without addressing this regular profiteering is empy rhetoric
