#medtwitter have you seen this chart before? If any of your colleagues haven’t please show them.

We feel underpaid because we are. We need to take a stand & demand #PayRestoration 1/5

[Louella Vaughan @DrLKVaughan]

Why we should we wary of medical workforce guidance that use 'tiers'.

@mancunianmedic and I look at yet another way workforce substitution is being let in via the back door.

At school, I learnt that maternal mortality rates were a reliable indicator of a country’s level of socioeconomic development & the effectiveness of their health system.

It is truly shocking that the UK’s maternity deaths have increased by 50% over the past decade.

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4

Dr Elaine is the UK’s first deaf/blind doctor. She is under multiple specialists in London. She is on 24 hour LTOT.

Her request to be pre-allocated to London was declined and was allocated Dorset.

This is a catastrophic failure by the @UKFPO, who simply isn’t hated enough.

@mbga_uk I have 2 GSDs, I ask anyone entering the house if they're ok with dogs. If not, I get the dogs aout the way. That's being a responsible owner.

Your behavour is disgusting. There's no entitlement to care if staff feel abused or unsafe. Do you care about your mum?

Today I am celebrating 17 years of working as an Emergency Medicine Consultant in the busiest ED in the UK, while living with #Parkinsons for nearly 10 years of them.
At diagnosis this was just a pipe dream.

Strange how you don’t seem to care so strongly for the 1000s of patients suffering and dying outside of any strike action due to routine failures of managing healthcare.

Doctors are the canaries in the coal mines. We’re crying out for a fix to the daily danger of poor workforce planning and losing all of the taxpayer funded medical students to Australia.

Time for you to stop scapegoating doctors and show some leadership.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

16/16 IMHO Mr. Crossley & Quliter should apologize and retract the previously supplied figures; and the Times should retract the article in full. Pure propaganda with little grounding in truth nor reality.

Poor modelling & poor jounralism. RT if you agree

[Peter Brennan @BrennanSurgeon]

Shocked to read this article in the Times newspaper

Orthopaedics - like the other 9 UK surgical specialties- requires extensive training, skill, expertise, judgement & good team working

It goes against inclusivity & everything we champion in British surgery

Absolutely appalled

[Tom Dolphin🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @thomasdolphin]

This motion defending the rights of trans and intersex people and condemning the Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman was passed at Saturday's @BMAResidents Conference - thank you to these residents. The EHRC guidance arising from this ruling is deeply problematic.

2 nights ago, a 13 yr old boy & his grandma were ordered to evacuate from Gaza city by the IDF. As they were driving south, their car was minced by 2 Apache helicopter gun ships, killing the grandma instantly. He lost both legs and right arm. His crime: being a Palestinian

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

The 16 Ambulance crew members that had gone missing 4 days ago?

Their bodies were found yesterday buried near Israeli military barracks. Israeli forces had EXECUTED every single one

WHY IS WESTERN MEDIA STILL
SILENT?!

WHY IS THE UK STILL CONTRIBUTING TO THIS GENOCIDE?!

ENOUGH

[J Barclay @JBarclay89]

@TTeulu @MichelePaduano There are clearly institutional issues at play here & so an Article 2 inquest is appropriate. In that context I also don't understand why it wasn't admissible. Was it ever appealed?

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

BREAKING: UK @BMA_Consultants vote MASSIVELY in favour to "take Industrial Action" if there is *any deviation* from the agreement reached on pay reform with the last government.

All eyes on @PayReviewBodies and target to #PayRestoration

[J Barclay @JBarclay89]

@DrAndrewGreen @thomasdolphin I taught anatomy to both PAs & Med students. There was a huge difference in both breadth & depth. Also recall being surprised that I'd freq need to advise med students to avoid going into too much detail on some topics, whereas PAs barely even asked Qs.

[Andrea James @HealthRegLawyer]

We've received three new sets of formal #FitnessToPractise allegations today (1 x GMC, 2 x HCPC), all with the usual 28-day deadline notwithstanding the Christmas period. I just feel "Did you REALLY need to send those out less than 2 weeks before Christmas?". The GMC case relates to an incident in Spring 2023, the HCPC ones date back to Winter 2020 and Autumn 2022. Why is it necessary to destroy a healthcare professional's Christmas on top of them already enduring the FtP process for years? And when Christmas is already well-known to be a mental health risk point?

We are seeing huge increase in ‘That’s So Gay’ used as an insult, especially in primary schools.

I’m in a primary school in Cardiff today working with all of KS2 to develop understanding of what gay means, through the lens of family, to raise empathy & stop its use as an insult.

[J Barclay @JBarclay89]

Major accident M1 south. 100+ vehicles decided to go into closed lane blocking emergency service access. I hope you all get prosecuted. Imagine if your loved ones were in that accident.

Some people are so insanely selfish

[J Barclay @JBarclay89]

Maybe @TheBMA could take note? @DrLatifaPatel @ERunswickBMA @DrPhilBanfield @pickersgill1

Thank you to everyone at #BOAAC24 who met my son today and was so kind and welcoming ❤️

I have some reflections 🧵🛠️

Tomorrow is a big day for him and he’s scared. He wanted to be with me and I wanted to be with him.
