Best of luck to all the new FY1s starting careers as doctors today.

The next few months will be a very steep learning curve and a rollercoaster of self confidence but you’ve earned the right to be where you are and it will get easier.

[Braydon Dymm, MD @BraydonDymm]

It's official. For acute stroke treatment, Alteplase (tPA) is out, and Tenecteplase (TNK) is in.

But why? And more importantly, why is it called TNK when there’s no “K” in Tenecteplase?? 🧵

A fantastic, thought-provoking and very useful day of learning at the @TICCConference - thank you to the organisers, guest speakers and fellow CTFs for an enjoyable day talking all things medical education! #TICC25

[Hannah @StudentMedLife]

Started the day @TICCConference with an inspiring keynote presentation from Dr Tun, highlighting the importance and our responsibilities as medical educators to inform tomorrow’s doctors about planetary health and sustainable healthcare #TICC25

Saw this in the BMj obituaries today. Not someone I have met but what an amazing and inspirational story. Achieved so much despite much adversity. Truly remarkable. RIP Allison.

Spare a minute for the U.K medical graduate.

-Managed to get onto an incredibly competitive degree.
-5/6 intense years study
-Saddled with crippling student debt
-Randomly allocated jobs at graduation, with no control or agency
-End up separated from support networks

- Never start a procedure or cannula etc with a full bladder.

- Be respectful to all and expect the same level of respect in return.

- Book a holiday asap.

- Don’t stop doing things that make you happy or make you who you are outside of work.

- enjoy!

@KatPaton13 Really have my fingers crossed for you! Can be a challenging time at the moment with speciality applications & the end of FY2 looming. I’m also jobless atm from Aug despite applying for multiple regional FY3 jobs - feedback seems to be too many applicants despite good interview🥲

Completely astonishing that #BREATHTAKING has been the no. 1 trending item on here for the whole of the UK ever since last night - & still is now.

This is the conversation we hoped to start. Confronting the trauma - what patients, families, NHS & care staff all endured 💔

[George Fielding BEM @GeorgeFielding1]

#iwillWeek23 has started - celebrating the 10th birthday of @iwill_movement: a movement I'm increasingly proud of in its drive and style to connect young people across the UK, offer them agency and action. Their beating hearts deconstructing systems in the process.

Twitter is free education for those in medicine...

With #FY1 induction happening everywhere, we thought we would share our data with everyone. We have, anonymously, tracked what clinical documents are most viewed by our users. We hope this info may help guide the key induction topics may be:

Junior doctor *annual leave* entitlement

Many rota co'ordinators assume that CT/ST1/2/3s have <5 years NHS service and are only entitled to 27 days AL per yr.
If you have >5 years service as a result of switching specialties, working LTFT....

Any good resources for looking into post FY2 career options? Trying to find out more about trust grade jobs/FY3. Also SAS as an alternative career route down the line.

Ie. Experience needed, when to apply, the benefits/drawbacks of not applying to a formal training programme.

[Child Bereavement UK @cbukhelp]

No-one expects their child to die before them. The death of a child is devastating, but with help and support, lives can slowly be rebuilt.

If you need bereavement support, contact our Helpline on 0800 02 888 40, 9am – 5pm, Mon to Fri.

Behind the numbers, there are human beings with human stories. Thaer just wanted to save his 4 yr old son who has leukaemia. Thaer was amongst the 750 humans on the boat many of whom tragically died when it capsized in the Mediterranean Sea. Remember his name: Thaer.
