@dave_dlt Only GP in practice today, pharmacist helping BTS (no other AHPs) but eminently manageable with some lovely and thankful patients!

But back for OOH tomorrow for my sins!

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@KeepGoinEoin I could, but a reasonable amount of time working in ED previously + minor surgery trained.

Would I? No

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@laurevans311 And the ones that are on the list aren't even clear. Most of the ones that land on my desk have hypoparathyroidism ticked (PT has hypothyroidism) or Diabetes insipidus (mellitus) and need amending

@irenep671 @DrSelvarajah @EDHomerton @NHSHomerton This would just add to the number of already disillusioned GPs and people will still leave the UK workforce, until the job is properly supported and remunerated

@christiplady @StuMaitland @parthaskar @KateBurkeNHS It was mostly crash bleeps following Nervecentre introduction, plus paeds didn't get DECT phones for some reason?

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@christiplady @StuMaitland @parthaskar @KateBurkeNHS They still had them as of two years ago at least, on calls for some teams meant carrying DECT phone, Nervecentre phone, and bleep in addition to everything else you normally carry (and in scrub pockets no less!)

@DrLojoRial @SteveBarclay Closed? No they weren't. We're also delivering more appts than pre-pandemic.

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@callum_a2 @MsBethanJ Yep that's wrong, my LET amazingly found the information on my previous non medical employment (2x bank HCA jobs) and automatically adjusted my leave entitlement on next rotation after hitting 5 years FTE. Without my doing anything 🤯

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@brionytheliony @neurosurgerySpR I had an underfilled coag, then overfilled one on same pt in ED (when I REALLY need the result). Sent third request with one adult and two paeds bottles all together, defying them to reject it a third time! 😂

@dr_irfan_malik My eportfolio had over 300 entries by the end of 3 years of training. Who does this help?

@drgandalf52 Wingspan!

"GP to kindly ...." lug a 25kg bag of rock salt around the car park on black ice so rest of team don't break something coming into work!

@DoctorMayJay This is is why doctors are told they can't use ward / office microwave... 🤢

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@jonesmedcardiff @drgandalf52 For those working in urban/suburban environments feel good argument for no meds in own bag. Worked rurally as a reg and practice/reg bag was well stocked as sometimes 40 miles from hosp

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@drgandalf52 Also list of local contacts. DNs, MH services etc as may move between localities when rotating

[Nathan W @NathanMDW]

@drgandalf52 Ideally own stethoscope, then from a practice POV ensure put in a room with thermometer, sphyg, sats probe and oto-/opthalmoscope. Also worth having a reg visit bag. Many now will only start getting own kit towards end of ST3. But tell them about arclight so they can get one!

@bykatewomersley As others have stated we'd prioritise clear and concise information, as may be referred back to in 5-10 years looking for one important thing.

As long as the above is there, add whatever flourishes you like!
