@TheSnoozeDoctor @NuffieldHealth I guess it depends where base is. If there’s a significant emergency workload that can really impact on beds and elective productivity. The private hospitals have none of that to contend with.

Yay! It’s #DogsAtPollingStations day!

Let’s woofing do this 🐾

#DogsAtPollingStations

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

Celebrating annual leave (and apparently 20 years in the nhs this year) by bagging some more trigs

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@TJCoats @RCEMevents Suspect this is person specific and there would need to be room for individual adjustment (disability discrimination act). Need to consider the same for apps as more becomes mobile. Phones are terrible for readability blue light and seem to be pushed as a cheap alternative

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@Neuro_Matt Go out with a bang. Enjoy and good luck! It get better from here

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

It’s Ed Shear-ram!

@cpeedell @pjcboro @UKLabour This isn’t about deals. Either additional training places are required (they absolutely are), or they aren’t. It’s not about deals, it’s about need and ensuring that we have enough doctors to deliver healthcare using properly qualified staff - not doctor alternatives.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@NickJ_UK @AnnabelDenham1 But we either need training places or we don’t. It shouldn’t be a bargaining chip.
Bad behaviour on both sides, but two wrongs don’t make a right.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@NickJ_UK @AnnabelDenham1 Will watch with interest and will step in to support safety, but bma are not reading the room. Easter, a war, many colleagues off and unable to cover.
A bad time for the country economically with a ridiculous ask.

@mancunianmedic @iceman_ex I do like the scrimshankers and occasional esoteric language. Part of me would love to see if that got through an nhs job advert these days!

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@mancunianmedic @iceman_ex Different times. Agree wholeheartedly with the work ethic and the ethos that you get out what you put in to a placement. Less so with the male pronouns scattered through - admittedly fewer female surgeons back then but that’s not exactly an inclusive job description.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@ShaunLintern Unsure how taking money away from areas where problems are perceived will allow them to improve.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@ShaunLintern Terrible idea. We aren’t selling goods in a supermarket. Sometimes we have to do the right thing, which sometimes causes conflict. It’s not about a popularity contest or competing for patients’ affections. Slippery slope to privatisation.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

Bloomin’ tired. And realised I’d intended to book annual leave in my diary and never actually booked it. Oops, but explains why an evening with a book is needed!

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

Always a pleasure to teach! Thanks to the rest of the faculty and the candidates for making it fun! (Even if we do look like we are staring at a blank flip chart)

[Harjeet Rayt @harjrayt]

And we’re back…day 1 of the Leicester CCrISP course with the new and exciting 5th Edition. @Greg_S_McMahon @chebbes @RCSnews @UHL_ClinEd

@JacquiDeevoy1 Just wondering what your qualifications are to mislead and misinform. Bacterial meningitis is contagious. To inform otherwise is harmful.

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@ross_prager Mirroring. I’m fairly sure I watched a colleague at some point in the past agree that “it’s shit and I’m sorry”. Because sometimes life is shit and there aren’t other words that will do. (But be careful of this one)

[Chris Hebbes @chebbes]

@ross_prager They will have a rapport and will be able to help give courage for questions families don’t want to ask of “the doctor”
