Doctors need clear and precise guidance from the @gmcuk on what to do if we arrive for a shift and find it understaffed.

Do we take on extra responsibility and the now evident risk attached? Or do we refuse to take on the work and risk being struck off that way instead?

Yes we were up at 5am this is commitment #Eurovision2021 #Eurovision from Australia

Having a ball watching @extremeexpo from all the way down in Tasmania! Never been to a conference I can enjoy while in the bath. A delight, and so much to take on board!

@bedfordmusic @OJMilton they must mean us right?!

We've been using dex for years Matt. It's good for inflammatory respiratory diseases. This is not news.

[Matt Hancock @MattHancock]

Today, we've approved Dexamethasone for immediate use across our NHS.

This life-saving discovery was made in Britain and is a testament to the brilliant work of scientists & the national effort to save lives & protect our NHS.

I don't think there's a right answer here...

I have struggled to articulate my feelings r.e the BLM protests during the middle of a giant pandemic. I wholeheartedly support BLM and anti-racist movements around the world. In any other circumstance, I would be out there protesting.

[Ben @ben___bob]

This feels like a watershed moment for the BLM movement, and that is thrilling. Unfortunately, that makes it even more difficult to express my uneasiness around these protests lest I be considered a crusty white person.

@PJ_PappaJoe @CarpentineRich @Ali79596850 @GerardBattenUK @ClarkeMicah While you're at it Rich, prove that God doesn't exist and unicorns are real. @PJ_pappajoe - claims tend to need to be supported by evidence or they're just bullshit. Burden of proof is on you old chap xoxo

@allisonpearson Hello Allison, emergency doctor here, this is really selfish (and also very stupid). Tell your friends that they're arseholes for us, thanks!

[Ben @ben___bob]

I'm experiencing this thing where I'm extremely happy to be in Australia at the moment but overwhelmingly sad for my friends and colleagues in the UK and what they're having to deal with. My decision to move has turned out to be asking timing and I feel very guilty about it...

Wondering whether Michael Gove has decided to trust the experts this time...

Can't wait for Gwyneth Paltrow to tell us that sticking an egg up your vagina will prevent corona virus 👌

@Peston Robert, with all due respect, please stop reporting this bollocks.

[Ben @ben___bob]

@JamesLark Gosh, this is horrifyingly accurate

Lolllllllllllllllll 😂

Absolutely disgusting service at Schiphol airport. 55 minutes we have been stood in the immigration queue. This isn’t the Brexit I voted for.

@Triviumtrivium @AlwaysGazeboed Hi Steve, just to confirm, you think this sentence makes sense, right? "Festering pustule of density" 😂

[Ben @ben___bob]

@AlwaysGazeboed Ignore these people. They troll and antagonise in hope of generating a response. Alas, it turns out Steve is probably too stupid to understand.
