@FPSResidential Can you confirm which classes are on the red coach?

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@mancunianmedic @FHawksworth My benchmark is a dr should be able to afford a 4 bed house in a good area in their 30s - that's not been possible in the s. east w/out parental support for 20 yrs. least we could do for people doing such a hard and important job, who could earn much more.

@sib313 @premnsikka Also a quick Google suggests the 'toxfree' project is a commercial venture to develop new assays, not some neutral party at all.

@DrLKVaughan @DrSdeG I think without knowing the exact sequence of events it is hard to say. But it's important that boards are held to account on such things. It's a pretty extreme situation though to have a CEO having what was probably a psychotic episode.

@cochranereturns @thomasforth @IGMansfield This one is easy - healthcare is a lot more complicated than it was 100 years ago! And it's not as if the British did a good job for its Indian subjects....

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@mancunianmedic @CMichaelGibson Also it's interesting to me that it doesn't mention patients. Surely helping patients is a big part of why clinicians do what they do?

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@rut85826 @MedRegoncall1 This is a fair point and subject of a research study currently: https://t.co/Vmj0IJ5PVo

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@RedPavlova @MedRegoncall1 They're not getting paid anything extra in this case. And in any case, the point is to increase cancer awareness to promote earlier presentation to the GP to help diagnose cancers earlier. Is that not worth spending money on?

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@rut85826 @MedRegoncall1 Lots of people minimise the importance of rectal bleeding. Isn't it a good idea for a health professional to counsel that someone sees their GP for it?

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@rut85826 @MedRegoncall1 So are you arguing for fewer ways to raise awareness of cancer?

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@MariaPalmer1 This is nothing to do with 'role creep'.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@MariaPalmer1 @MedRegoncall1 All they are doing is talking to people about the signs of cancer and recommending referral to a GP if anything is worrying. Lots of research says this is safe and is part of wider efforts to promote cancer awareness and therefore earlier diagnosis.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@MedRegoncall1 @rut85826 Because research has shown that using multiple channels to promote cancer awareness and channel people with relevant symptoms to GPs is good for earlier diagnosis of cancer.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@MedRegoncall1 Seriously, this post does not do what you think it does. This is nothing to do with role replacement, or anything like that. You have misunderstood what is happening. You should delete this.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@JimBethell The nine million refers to the three active cancer screening programmes - bowel, cervical and breast - I'm not sure what you're talking about.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@JimBethell I didn't hear that at all. There are lots of opportunities to diagnose cancers earlier where there is clinical consensus.

[Naser Turabi @naserturabi]

@DrSamuelBHume It's actually from my team at CRUK, pleased you like it!
