@drwillpearson@TomHCalver@thetimes@drwillpearson you beat me to it. If you look at the general state of health (BMI, fitness, increasing age, alcohol, tobacco and other substance use - but mainly obesity) to try and keep these people healthy long term is going to be extraordinarily expensive.
@talaminidoc@Neil_J_Smart My experience thus far has not demonstrated a big difference in adenoma detection but certainly helps with decision making regarding removing adenoma vs leaving metaplastic polyps. Our UK pathology colleagues are overworked already!
@rbarbosa91 When you have tried and used the Valley Lab (Covidien Force TriVerse) -has cut/blend/coag with 5 power settings all on the same finger switch you will never look back -at least for ANY open surgery. I have absolutely no affiliation or financial interest - just v happy user 4 yrs
@TheDA_UK I’m still puzzled why educated/informed docs think that widening the base of the career pyramid will be helpful when career training posts are in short supply - and ultimately Cons posts. Given recent pay rises there is unlikely to be funding for qualified GPs. Doc unemployment?
@MovetheWorld9@Delilah15707758@LucyGoBag I straddle both sectors. No there is no private A&E Private sector relies on nhs for emergencies and really sick patients for ITU. Comparisons are apples and oranges. It would be too expensive for private sector to cover this territory and make insurance unaffordable for most.
@Azeem_Majeed They pledge to and sometimes build new hospitals but forget to tell you that they’ve reduced bed capacity. Our lovely little community hospitals have closed and in the result loosing wards full of beds. Privatising elderly care has compounded this issue too!
@Dubai_allergy@WestSuffolkNHS@MattHancock No, it is actually a new build. Smaller than requested (ask the last govt ) and smaller than existing. I predict A/E corridor ‘escalation bays’ will still be regular feature. Sad as it could have been fantastic.
@HakunaMatata26C I think you will find this was pretty much agreed under the Tory government, all this talk of sovereign land and being ‘ours’ is a bit odd these islands are in the middle of the Indian Ocean and we evicted all the occupants, not really ours were they?
@HakunaMatata26C Mark Francois is an MP for the Conservative Party, who initiated this deal.
Why didn’t he ask James Cleverly in 2022, when he introduced this initiative?
@drChrisSyn@JMPSimor Not sure that was the implication. Jenrick inferred that Ben Wallace had said that special forces were under orders to kill alleged terrorists vs take prisoners to avoid ECHR prosecution. Wallace has not said that on record. Does Jenrick know more? If so his sources?
@drChrisSyn@JMPSimor Did you read what Jenrick said? Did you listen to him on R4 this am? C’mon admit it he is a bit dim to say these things to justify his views on ÉCHR.
Why are some people more interested in Keir's donated suit ( declared properly)
and are not interested in Jenrick being given
£75 000 from a company that is based on a tax-haven island and has no employees.
I find that quite odd.
Immagine if it had been the other way round
@RachelA1892 Because in general terms they have done relatively well over the past few years. At present we are loading huge debt on young people who will actually be paying for todays pensioners income going forwards.
@alisonleary1 @DaveParaACCP_AA The tragedy, and absurdity, of this is the fact that PAs are already well established in clinical practice and providing a safe and effective contribution to the MDT delivery of healthcare.
What next? An aggressive SoMe campaign against ANPs, ACCPs, PHE paramedics🤔
@rbarbosa91@javlatif I thought fishes were now in museum! I used them 30yrs ago (until someone in world lost one - minus the string+loop so banned!)
Concerned to see sharp pointy needles when most of us using Ethiguard blunt taper or similar nowadays, particularly for trainees.
@UmpsMo @Dr_BellaR Always sounds ridiculously pompous to me (just my opinion). I state my first and second name and what my role is. I introduce my team by Mr X and Dr Y to give deference to their status. I do o not need the authority of my title - I manage.
