@JaneParshally @Hatzola Also, if you live in an area covered by their service it’s pretty unlikely you’re unaware of it

[CT @clairetrayers]

@JaneParshally @Hatzola About 5 seconds more googling gives you their 0303 number which is listed as the emergency number. I’m not posting in incase muppets decide to phone to check it out, but if you can post here you can find it

@JaneParshally @Hatzola Literally right there at the top of the page on Google…….

🚨 Today's antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzolah Northwest ambulances in Golders Green (treated as a hate crime by the Met Police) damages emergency services for everyone in North London, not just the Jewish community.

Hatzolah operates in a fixed 2.5-mile radius covering mixed neighbourhoods. Their explicit policy: respond to “any call for help, Jewish or not” and “help anyone who contacts our service, regardless of race, creed or colour.”

CQC inspections and annual reports confirm they serve the general public, local communities and diverse populations, working alongside the NHS and London Ambulance Service to ease the burden for all.

Golders Green is ~50% Jewish per census data, so their coverage includes thousands of non-Jewish locals, tourists and surrounding streets.

Key stats for the Golders Green chapter alone:

- 6,245 calls responded to in the last 12 months

- Average response time: 6 minutes (as fast as 4.2 minutes for life-threatening cardiac arrests)

- 61 fully qualified volunteer medics/paramedics + 21 dispatchers, running 24/7/365 with 5 ambulances & fast-response cars

- Patient satisfaction: 4.96 out of 5

Broader London Hatzolah: 10,702 lives impacted in one year through responses, support and training.

These are unpaid volunteers. Torching four ambulances means delayed life-saving care across the entire area for heart attacks, accidents and emergencies affecting all residents.

This isn't victimless, it weakens community emergency services everyone relies on.

@kaya99365253 @Hatzola Because they set up a charity, staffed by volunteers, to serve their local communities. And they don’t have their own police - security like a neighbourhood watch thing yes (Shomrim, again volunteers), police nope.

@JaneParshally @Hatzola Depends where in London you are - Google has all the options very clearly listed 👍🏻

[CT @clairetrayers]

@_Matt3r @Rehiana1980 If you can post on here presumably you’re also capable of just googling the phone number 🤷‍♀️

[CT @clairetrayers]

@_VeronicaNMB @TheNRMP Congratulations - it’s a great speciality!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the best histopathology report in the history of the world. End of discussion.

@PaulRKnight1 @goldstone_tony In this day and age how on earth is it not all just online and you can log in and check it whenever 🤷‍♀️

NEW, IMPORTANT (shocking, but sadly not suprising):

Confirmation only 12 days before the SA deadline that NHSBSA are not sending any more PSS out and you are expected to "estimate and file" and "HMRC won't penalise you for filing an estimate, provided it's a genuine attempt. You can amend your return later when you have exact figures."

Pls share widely/RT

@Neuro_Matt @Microbedoc2 They used to make me do paeds/neonatal resus because my job title had paediatric in it (followed by pathologist…)🙄🙄

@Path4People Go home. Talk a walk. Swap digital for microscope. Tbh my brain is usually frazzled before my eyes

[CT @clairetrayers]

@doctoriaindarcy I’ve done none of these things today. Where do I hand in my ovaries?

[CT @clairetrayers]

@DrHuw As a pathologist I’m intrigued as to what I would have to do to level up to top tier, cos FRCpath part 2 isn’t exactly a piece of piss

@AlisonGeorge10 @Dr_Done_ I’m still waiting on overtime pay from Sept 23 😭

@EmmaSzewczak I work in Cambridge, live a short train ride away due to the house prices - two adults no kid household. Surprised how little there seems to be going on in Cambridge if you’re not involved in the Uni. It’s a strange, dull little city overall I have found.

@DrNeilStone Best one I’ve seen is a local place that offers an “express” upgrade for the busy professional - extra charge for a 500ml vs 1000ml bag of fluids 🤡

@DrEilidhMaria My speciality, plus almost all of those I work with most frequently are all female > male consultants. Same for the AHP staff too. Must vary by speciality, but that does include surgery 🤷‍♀️
