Did you know the word ‘junior’ in Junior Doctor doesn’t mean young or unqualified

It’s simply the term for any doctor who is not yet a consultant or experienced GP

That includes this 40 year old who’s been a doctor for over 10 years

Please RT if you think everyone should know

I know they have a lot of friends in low and high places right now and they’re all busy looking after their own. But given there is so much below the tip of the corruption iceberg we don’t yet know about I am beginning to wonder whether we might one day see this lying charlatan behind bars …

Our study day has been a success so far! Thank you to all the charities that have some to talk to us about how we can best support care leavers and estranged students at University.

Lucy makes some fantastic points here. We must stress, it is really worth looking @SarahRoseCrook’s work. She can show that society has been worried about a “crisis” in student mental health since the 1950’s or even earlier.
