So all the times NCHDs were berated in the media, online, & by whoever felt like it, for emigrating.. we’re now home/not leaving and there’s no jobs for our outgoing interns? But yet there’s 24 hour shifts, hospitals with 6-8 wards per intern on call, & 12 days in a row rosters?
Not far from here, nurses & doctors are working to prepare for the impact of a global pandemic. Everyone is working 24/7. This is an insult to their efforts. There is very clear public health advice. Follow it. All options will be kept under constant review #CoronaVirusUpdates
Okay, kids. Those of you who are starting your intern year tomorrow. Should you not be thinking of hitting the leaba? Every best wish for a successful year.
This evening I gave a lecture to @UCDMedicine Final Meds on Professionalism, as part of @MedCouncilIRL 6 domains.
The same day I found out they will not be paid for their 1 week mandatory induction.
How about some #professionalism from the employer?

The @MedCouncilIRL medical workforce intelligence report launched today makes for very sad reading. We lose a large proportion of new docs each year. One measure that should be immediately implemented is for @SimonHarrisTD to direct the @HSELive to pay interns for induction.
