It seems an appropriate moment to share my absolute favourite Fred Elliott moment of all time, which I still quote to my niece, even though technically she no longer qualifies… RIP John Savident
Wishing all NHS staff a Happy New Year! In my opinion *ALL* undervalued, worst of all our junior doctors & the future of UK medicine- look at NYDs disgraceful rates of pay👇
RT if like me, you want govmnt's NY resolution to return to negs THEY abandoned to make a credible offer
The Shephard Cup - a CCF competition involving a number of skills for cadets to be tested on: drill, command tasks, military quiz and first aid. On another wet and wild day, delighted to report that Epsom won! 👍💪👏

They strike tomorrow
This letter is incredible

National Medical Director of NHS England: "No, its not part of the plan"
1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists.
