I know how distressing it is for patients to repeat their medical history over and over.
And the effort it takes for NHS staff to get the information they need.
We'll join up this fragmented system, helping clinicians give safer, co-ordinated care.
Excellent post from @mancunianmedic
There is a definite place for non-medical ‘advanced’ clinicians (I personally don’t like the term practitioner- it is meaningless to patients). If you want to cover the medical rotas- go study medicine and become a doctor. Trusts take heed.
I’m humbled and proud to share that I’ve been named as a finalist for the 2026 Royal College of Podiatry Diamond Lifetime Achievement Award. It’s an honour to be recognised alongside so many inspiring colleagues across the profession. https://t.co/1bwf3aLFLj.

BBC News: Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting are trying to bribe doctors to call off next weeks strike, by saying that if they don't extra training places won't be created
Just to be clear, these aren't 'extra' training places, these are training places
And if the general public understood the meaning of this, they would be standing alongside doctors striking
Never thought I'd be as disgusted with Labour as I was disgusted with the Conservatives, but here we are
@anaesthetic_spr I’m saddened by this whole debate. We desperately need more specialist training places for our resident doctors. We need more doctors but there is a place for non- medical practitioners/AHPs within MDTs. A physio ACP is valuable within e.g the MSK MDT. The skill mix is key.
@anaesthetic_spr I follow local guidelines e.g. antimicrobial and hyperkalaemia. I’m as safe as any of us can be. I am not a doctor and don’t claim to be. I have real concerns regarding PAs and ‘fast track ACPs’. Please don’t tar us all with the same brush. Discuss?
@anaesthetic_spr I prescribe for a very limited specialist area based on C&S from deep tissue samples. I request and review bloods and regularly discuss with our MDT and microbiologists. I support our resident doctors with their prescribing decisions and teach on management of DFIs.
@DrPyaricetamoI In defence of my ‘proper’ diabetologist colleagues, they usually only get the opportunity to review their patients once or twice a year. Is it not reasonable to highlight obs of hypertension to GP (who will be the prescriber of anti-hypertensive meds) to monitor and treat?
@silverpebble Found the wee owl and love the way you’ve arranged the colours. Nature can be so uplifting in many different ways! Hope you can find a little bit of light today.
