An interesting few days listening in to #EuGMS2023 - plenty of food for thought!

To all young women leaping up and down with 4 A* about to start medicine - congratulations. We see you. We have your back. You have a right to expect your career to be free of sexual harassment and assault. There may be some tough times ahead but these should not add to that.

Sending best wishes to #F1doctors starting medical careers this week.

A hectic last on call to finish a mad but amazing year. Never expected to enjoy this year as much as I have.
Very grateful to @SWBHnhs for being the supportive place it is & @doc_hnaqvi for the constant supply of coffee!

Healthcare without compassion is not a world I want to be a part of.
Maybe instead of focusing on medicine as a 'vocation' vs 'just a job', we can be intentional in maintaining this culture of compassion with ourselves, our colleagues and our patients - now more than ever.
