Resilience training for burnout is like mindfulness for trauma. It sure helps to get through the trauma a little better, but without trauma management, it’s ineffective.

Resilience training is a personal solution to a systemic problem. Treat the associated causative system too.

When you insert a nasogastric tube, a nasotracheal tube or a nasopharyngeal airway, go low and go slow in the nose. Do not aim up. Aim down and backwards. Follow the flat floor of the nose. I’ve met many traumatised middle turbinates. #ENTpearls #ENTsurgery

Today I have resigned as Chairman of @KingsCollegeNHS. I do not do this lightly as I love King's but believe the Govt & regulator are unrealistic about the scale of the challenge facing the NHS & the Trust. I want to pay tribute to the staff & their excellent patient care.

I'm tired of Tories praising firefighters, police, NHS medics, council staff and other emergency workers then cutting their pay and jobs
