The total lack of thought around jobs vs performative “oh, we will create new med school places” is playing out as predicted
This is not a mistake
These concerns were raised by myself & others *pre-COVID*
I’d ask you to come to your own conclusions about why they are doing this*

Some might remember my proposed education initiative to improve feedback and the general education experience for doctors in acute medicine last year.
Well, I have now been running the ‘feedback clinic’ for a year, and I wanted to share my learning/experiences
Excited to announce the publication of this book volume edited by our own Dr Jenny Clancy and Dr Matt Poyade from the Glasgow School of Art @GSofA Showcasing the amazing work of our Medical Visualisation MSc students🥳👏 @UofGlasgow#Innovation#anatomy

Oh my, this is is brilliant from @RobLaurensonD4P
🚨 Strike action has cost the govt £3bn
🚨 Full pay restoration would have only cost £1.3bn

Today we launch legal action against
@gmcuk over its decision to apply good medical practice equally to PAs & AAs, & the use of “medical professionals” to describe these professions
PAs/AAs are not doctors – blurring the lines can have tragic consequences https://t.co/OtsO5y7yfm
I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

Lisa was a huge influence on my decision to train in emergency medicine. Whilst she was an Editor of the EMJ Supplement she encouraged me to write about public health issues to the wider EM community. She was truly someone who cared for the underserved communities in East London.
This is another favorite because I truly had no understanding of manignant glaucoma aka aqueous misdirection aka ciliary block aka vitreous block before making this. If you don’t understand something, force yourself to learn by teaching it.
