If you are a medical graduate who HAS NOT yet come to the UK- and have done your medical degree abroad eg: India, Pakistan, Nigeria etc ?

Then I would seriously advise about thinking whether to pay @gmcuk your money for PLAB

If you do- please do so with clear understanding of what comes next.

Your chance of getting a speciality post is pretty low.

You may have to work for 2- maybe 5 years- (yet to be decided) when you are ready

That work will be doing what others don't want to do-in general- with low to nil opportunities of training and progression.

Anyone else suggesting so is mostly- lying.

I would ask @RCPhysicians @rcgp @AoMRC @gmcuk to clearly advertise that- rather than exploit for money

If you want to come to the UK for work as a doctor?
Do so fully informed.

NB:

The above is not the fault of local graduates- but squarely down to @NHSE_WTE making a mess of training and enough places- along with GMC for keeping PLAB running at full tilt- while also supporting lesser trained professionals doing roles & jobs of doctors.

The focus has been to reduce dependence of foreigners - yet doing so on the cheap- both financially and training wise- the impact of which falls on the population.

With Pharmacy First, there is an opportunity-cost question. Could the same investment in general practices be more cost-effective for the NHS and deliver greater benefits by enabling practices to employ more staff and offer more appointments? https://t.co/TJMkhzxn3c

@andyhersh @andyburnham Such a simple idea, so hard to understand. @andyburnham

[Dr Andy Hershon @andyhersh]

@andyburnham .. alternatively, fund General Practice properly..

@Azeem_Majeed @Parody_RCGP During the pandemic, we opened access in Conwy 24/7. We discovered that access is all about relationships: building them and sustaining them. Along the way, we learned a few things about how to sustain both access and relationships.

I agree @mgtmccartney the @guardian is contributing to the demise of public health science and evidence when it publishes this nonsense... lots of it around sadly

Fucking NHS. I woke up this morning with some trouble in my eye. Called the optician. Had tests. Sent straight to hospital with a torn retina.

They insisted on giving me laser surgery there and then to fix it. Didn't want any money for the job. Now I'm home again.

How inconsiderate. Joking aside. Remember there are people out there who want to dismantle the NHS.

@MyUnveiledTruth @istt22CV well prehaps they should accuse you of being lazy, as you needed to respin a story from 2014, as new here in 2026 to try to underpin your story

[Amit Singh @amitns]

Ha!

@rorysutherland @timricketts_ @DrLKVaughan This Freudianesque typo could be "dealt with" or "death with". And, yes.

The sky walked ahead of them,
carrying what neither had spoken,
the shape neither had imagined.
Llanddwyn, a tidal island,
sometimes reachable,
sometimes not.
Stay there long enough,
the tide explains itself.

A striking display of temporal defamiliarisation to represent inequality by @kikumbhar making legible what numbers alone cannot - the stunning final paragraph

[Kiran Kumbhar @kikumbhar]

For more than 200 yrs, thousands of books & articles have been written about the history of the peopling of India, esp on the Harappan ppl & Aryan migrations. Here comes yet another super-long article.

But I hope this one finds a few readers. I wrote it.

small enough to be anyone,

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

I must say...I am yet to understand what is the difference between a 'Neighbourhood Health Centre' or the need to have it.

Rather than resource GP surgery adequately and do things that way.

Unless this is just simply about 'We just dislike GPs' and want anyone else to lead it.

@pash22 The paper says too much knowledge, too little understanding. Yet, understanding comes from not destroying the conditions in which it can form.

Knowledge accumulates. Understanding condenses.
Condensation requires stillness. We have removed the stillness.

@RichardLehman1 From Conwy estuary to triage desks - hospitality, story, and data can coexist in primary care. What was humane wasn’t inefficient, we need to make that case again, with data and story. 🙏

@Foreman1David @sib313 @anish_k_patel Conwy data with 24x7 online access shows seasonality, interannual stability, and a predictable winter crest and April dip. The problem is structural alignment, and distress is often about variance under high utilisation, not infinity.
