We are Dr Nishat Siddiqi & Dr Freya Lodge @drfreyalodge the new co-training programme directors for cardiology in Wales.

@theipaper All very admirable until you realise that medical students
1. graduate with avg £60K debt with compound interest.
2. have poor terms, conditions & wage cuts compared to similar countries.
4. insufficient specialist training posts.

@jamie_wallis @drlukeevans @DrJoFranklin Ok, in my practice (wales, secondary care cardiology), if I reject a referral, I write a letter to the dr explaining why. Most colleagues also do this. This should be standard practice IMHO. Nishat.

@ryangrim Hello- I remember learning lots of random syphilis-related facts at medical school and yes, you can get ocular syphilis and rarely it does cause blindness

@Bitcoin_Teddy This is utter drivel and would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous

@KarlTurnerMP @MrDanPerry @AlderHey I hope your daughter makes a swift recovery and wish you all the best. Nishat

Thanks Nishat

@BenKentish @isitsleepytime Over three years at 6-8% each year.

I can tell you another fact- resident drs are leaving the UK in droves because of poor pay and conditions. NS

[TPDWales @TpdWales]

@DAaronovitch @MichaelRosenYes These are some reasons why resident drs are leaving the UK- we have poor working conditions, lack of training jobs, pitifully inadequate study leave and budgets (frozen since 2004!!) and increasing demands on the NHS due to an ageing population. NS

[TPDWales @TpdWales]

@AaronBastani Prior to training in hospital medicine and eventually cardiology, I applied to train as a GP but was rejected because I didn’t have a driving licence back then! How things could have been 😂 NS

@RupertLowe10 There is free NHS parking for staff, patients and visitors in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 already.

@parthaskar What nonsense have I just seen? This guy can’t be a practicing Dr… NS

[TPDWales @TpdWales]

@Frances_Coppola @History__Speaks Dear Frances, we are only responsible for what we do ourselves. He’s lucky to have you as a sister. All the best, Nishat x

@BangGoesSparks @BBCNews It’s being denied because it’s a load of nonsense https://t.co/ecX1tb0YzZ

[TPDWales @TpdWales]

Outrageous that this question is posed by any serious news outlet. There is so much medical misinformation being peddled by ignorant politicians. Paracetamol is generally safe for mild to moderate pain relief in pregnancy

@DrNeilStone @campbellclaret Don’t wory, it’s only 45 minutes long (if you get that reference you’re officially old like me- Nishat).

@thatbloodyMikey Hope you recover quickly Mikey. Nishat x
