@LucyMcCabe14 @BSMSMedSchool @bsmsalumni Thanks Lucy - great to see you!

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@TPP_MD @drgarethroberts This is a really good point. Differentiated doctors are always saying what they don’t think is necessary based on their own focus and generalists usually object to things covered in detail and depth!

@Meghpai @RoshanaMN @wesstreeting Very true in most medical schools up to 75% of students are working to earn while they learn. This proposal could impact disproportionally those students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@TomasBONeill @RoshanaMN @JNShabz @wesstreeting We also hear that we need to prepare students for more complicated challenges due to increasing frailty, comorbidities and poly pharmacy and it is hard to see how this fits with a shorter course?

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@RoshanaMN @JNShabz @wesstreeting These are all really valid points - lots of graduate entry students have degrees which are not directly relevant but it is also true that they have developed adult learning skills.

@BSUH_icu Congratulations Owen - fantastic career and great support for BSMS!!

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@BreastSurgeon Brilliant! Congratulations Jenna👏👏

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

@goldstone_tony @DrOKaneAgain @TheBMA Thanks, Tony. People are quite right to raise retention, but it’s an ‘and’ not an ‘or’ alongside recruitment.

Key to retention in Labour’s view:
- Resolving pay dispute
- Fixing the pensions issue

Talking to professions about other steps we/NHS employers can take.

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@TrishikaSuji @wesstreeting Clearly we need to take steps to retain medics as an urgent priority but this is not an either/or situation. Successive governments have failed to address the totally insufficient number of medical school places for decades - we need more students and improved retention.

@chantelle_rizan @robdlillywhite @BSMSMedSchool @UHSussex @SusHealthcare @RCSnews @NHS_HealthEdEng Congratulations Chantelle! You were a fantastic student and I learnt a lot!! 😊🥂

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@bethanldavies21 Fantastic - congratulations!

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

There's no other way to say it.

The NHS is falling apart.

Almost all the latest Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are bad.

Most of them are getting worse.

Surely things can't go on like this?

@trishgreenhalgh A fantastic IMG taught me how to operate in my first SHO surgery post - massive appreciation at the time and after.

@ollieburtonmed Check out Virtual Work Experience on Med Schhols Council Website

@BreastSurgeon Not everyone can go to Australia!!

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@BreastSurgeon Totally agree with Clare - after 30 years as a consultant - always aware that things can and do go wrong. Gradually learned to adapt to this reality and how to react. I know you treat all colleagues with respect and you are consistent in approach - this will ensure their support

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@ESHTNHS @BSMSMedSchool @scarlettmcnally Totally deserved - thank you Scarlett!!

[Malcolm Reed @MalcolmReedBSMS]

@9Nylon Visit Brighton and Sussex Medical School Virtual Work Experience - tens of thousands of potential applicants have done so with great feedback!

[Prof Colin R Melville @drcolinm]

'Soon' may be a little optimistic but @ukmedschools are working with others to develop an alternative way of allocating applicants to foundation school places.
