If I had a penny for every time I sat the primary and came out questioning my life choices... I'd now have 4 pennies

To be clear I do not condone the acute med bashing that drew this comment, all acute specialties have their own challenges and strengths, neither would do the others job as well as the other and the fact clinicians can't see that is really sad

[Pete Robson @PeterRobson29]

Because critically unwell patients just magically survive the 12 hours they wait for a ward bed and no patients ever get turned around between triage and admission 🪄

@Lizardwizarde @HaQ_mAn It’s well know A&E is a glorified triage service in most parts of the UK. To be honest we could improve healthcare by abolishing EM as a specialty and having 5-6 triage nurses at the front door.

Redeploy EM docs to SDEC to actually practice some medicine for once.

Glad to be over a truly crazy set of nights. Having to smash a window and climb out onto the hospital roof was definitely not on my bingo card for the weekend. One hell of a reflection making its way onto the old portfolio.

This Rachel Reeves Budget has absolutely done my head in. It’s like they have sat down in a room and said “How can we make life harder for normal, hard working people?” And then ticked every box.

Freezing income tax and NI thresholds? That’s basically a stealth tax on grafters. You work harder, get a tiny pay rise, and then government grabs it before it even hits ya bank. Then she whacks businesses right in the bollex by gutting the pension salary sacrifice benefit, so companies have to cough up more just to offer staff a basic pension. Punishing you for trying to do the right thing.

They really want people to not work and stay indoors on the system. It’s madness.

The people actually trying to build something…. Like run a cafe, a market stall, a gym, a shop, a small manufacturing firms a builder, a plumber, the black cab drivers and so many more hard working people are being squeezed from every angle. Higher wages, higher taxes, more pension costs, more rules, more pressure… and less support. We should be making it more attractive for businesses. Not scaring them off to move their money abroad.

If Labour actually cared and actually wanted this country to thrive and do well again they would Cut taxes so hardworking people keep more of their own money and support small businesses properly. We gotta make Britain attractive again to invest in. Give stability, Small businesses are the backbone of this country. They’re the people up at the crack of dawn keeping this country going. Making jobs for people. Supporting local economies. Not sitting back waiting for a handout. Why do we get punished to cover the cost of all these poxy handouts!!

It’s about time someone called it all out. In fact that’s just what I’m gonna do. When the small businesses dry up and stop paying their taxes and start losing money. The country will fall apart. Some people don’t realise how important they are!

Bosh❤️

@DrEilidhMaria Honestly, get him to do a Reg Ready course and then see if he gets how much hospitals rely on residents especially out of hours

Incredibly disappointing.

We wanted to plan to work with trusts across the north east to help implement the 10 point plan.

@Gateshead_NHS blocked the opportunity for the region by refusing to let reps take reasonable leave.

Service managers should be reasonable & reconsider.

[Pete Robson @PeterRobson29]

Performed my first RSI today and afterwards the nurse in charge of ITU bought me a cake from the cafe and wrote on the packet "Congratulations on your 1st intubation"

I may not be an ICM convert yet but honestly this team has been so welcoming and encouraging since starting.

[Jack Fletcher @fletchjack]

Delighted to have been elected to carry the torch at such a critical time for residents.

Leading the charge on bottlenecks, doctor unemployment AND restoring pay are the cornerstones of 2025/26.

The committee I lead will not be a single issue committee.

Exciting times ahead!

[Pete Robson @PeterRobson29]

What an actual joke

Northern doctors:

I’m standing for re-election in the BMA with Sheryl + Connor.

Why?

Northern drs are worried about progression, as well as pay.

We’re fighting for:
1️⃣ more jobs
2️⃣ progression (no bottlenecks)
3️⃣ improved conditions
4️⃣ pay

Vote now!
