@DrEilidhMaria How do you fit your leave into that??

[Aileen Helps @AileenHelps]

@MichaelOkun @Trisha_the_doc Very interesting. What is the change in absolute risk?

A concise and very fair analysis by ⁦@goldstone_tony⁩ regarding the reduction in pay of nurses, junior doctors and consultants. Our amazing NHS needs to train and retain its brilliant staff by pay what they are worth https://t.co/FUvcHucLti

I heard this week that the potentially most labour saving breakthrough in Medicine is nearly upon us. Software that can record a doctor-patient conversation and turn this into a clinical note.

So NO need for a doc to record a note ever again.

Horrifying! Here is why. 🪡

After the coma
I was in a geriatric ward.
Some of the agency night nurses
seemed irritated.
One wouldn't let me have the buzzer.
One got cross
when I fell out of bed.
I was lonely and called home.
Emma couldn't come in.
At least you, Boris
were having parties though.
That's good

1/18 THOUGHT for the #Coronation W/E:

Our NHS is a "jewel in the crown" of UK. But pay in the NHS has been #RoyallyScrewed 👇

If you want to understand why nurses, junior doctors (& potentially consultants) are striking, start with this graph
Short🧵 pls read to end & share/RT

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/29 We need to talk about these graphs 👇

We have nurses & junior doctors on strike & consultants potentially joining them very soon. Lets talk about inflation & pay. How to fix this car crash (& perhaps more importantly, how NOT to). Please read full 🧵 to end and share / RT

@stepsurg @timricketts_ We both know they will end up in medicine though!

@marcie_hatter @BadVaccineTakes You can pay for it privately and get it done in Superdrug

@clhubes I drew on my sister with biro when she was a baby. She is 2 years younger than me. We get on OK now

"Many in this government want public services in a permanent state of collapse because it matches their privatisation agenda.. Clapping doesn't pay the bills."

This 4 minute takedown of the Conservative party by Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb is a must watch.

@lachristensen I’m so sorry this has happened to you.

[Aileen Helps @AileenHelps]

@drpaddymark @sullivanmk8 @UofGSCMH @FrancesMair @BhauteshJani @The_MRC @AlastairLeyland Congratulations @sullivanmk8!

@theKingofBen @sh_abbers I quite often want my phone to use when I have down time rather than leaving it next to the baby. Now that he is older, it is on all night in his room to help mask other noises too.

[Aileen Helps @AileenHelps]

@sh_abbers I’d recommend you look up Lyndsey Hookway on Instagram for a realistic view of baby sleep and development and consider a white noise machine. I also wish I had harvested colostrum in advance to take some pressure off those early days.

For future reference this is how I want all maths explained to me.

.@wesstreeting message to NHS staff is "the cavalry is coming".

Thank you again today saying you have called for "months to fix the perverse incentives in doctors’ pensions that are forcing them into early retirement" - GREAT

RT if you want to hear @UKLabour plans to fix this

[Aileen Helps @AileenHelps]

@zoecousland Glorious!

[Aileen Helps @AileenHelps]

@sadneurons Have you listened to the @CCriadoPerez @Visible_Women podcast on this subject?
