@KailashChandOBE influenced everyone he came in contact with, a guiding light, will certainly be missed by the healthcare community & beyond..... his extended family, who will now collectively grieve for him. Without question, one of the giants of British healthcare RIP

A very sad piece to write, on the death of long-term @pulsetoday contributor and hugely-respected GP @KailashChandOBE. Kailash lived a life of such generosity, kindness and enthusiasm. If you'd like to offer any further tributes, please do send them to me https://t.co/1VIaBFRgQ6

@DrAseemMalhotra He influenced everyone he came in contact with He will certainly be missed by one and all within the healthcare community & beyond....his extended family, who will now collectively grieve for him. He was without question, one of the giants of British healthcare. @TheBMA

@DrAseemMalhotra We join you in your grief. Kailash was an inspiring personality who influenced everyone he came in contact with. He has certainly been my guiding light @TheBMA We will miss his wise counsel. Do take care of yourself Aseem.

This will be the longest train journey of my life. On route to Manchester to say goodbye to the most wonderful, kind loving father in the world. I’m in total shock.

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@DrAseemMalhotra @KailashChandOBE Praying for his recovery. We need him and his wise counsel.

The NHS has had a multicultural workforce since its inception without which it wouldn't exist today. Nearly 87k Drs in the NHS are from overseas. The cost of replacing them with UK-trained Drs will cost ~£42b as below -regardless of fact that NHS is so enriched by diversity

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@KailashChandOBE How true. A sage reminder for everyone in politics.

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@KailashChandOBE Unless you want to see the NHS collapse and be privatised.

@PeaPeaspot @didoharding @gmcuk @TheBMA @CNagpaul @BMA_BAMEForum @DrOKaneAgain @KailashChandOBE @NHSE_Paul Let @didoharding be realistic and acknowledge that without IMGs the NHS would collapse, unless of course her real intent is to ensure that the service fails and is then privatised. @TheBMA @CNagpaul @BMA_BAMEForum @KailashChandOBE

Is it not time SAS doctors were Recognised, or are they to remain the NHS’s most openly exploited ‘Secret Army of Specialists’

Will this monolithic institution ever wake up. Needs major review of its strategy and direction to remain relevant to its membership and our healthcare workforce.

Following repeated calls for ethnic and gender parity - can RCSEng adapt? Or is it simply a ‘phylogenetic remnant of a bygone age which spectacularly fails to reflect the needs, or embrace the diversity of its membership’. Read the Annals Editorial https://t.co/4oWBaPzlos

They are indeed the forgotten tribe seeking Recognition, Opportunity and appropriate Reward.

@KalindiKrishna @TheBMA @BMA_GP @BMA_JuniorDocs @bmawomen @BMA_Consultants @aakochhar @dhanvantari @CNagpaul Yes you're right- I set up the @BMA_Consultants one so sure you should have a SASG one @TheBMA

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

How true. Time to re-evaluate the environmental impact of the human race.

[Harsh Mariwala @hcmariwala]

Pure air, but no way to enjoy it. A pretty heavy price to pay!

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@ed_son I wait to see HMG’s response. There appears to be no acknowledgement or appropriate protective action for the affected who see themselves as cannon fodder.

@HodgsonAcademy No sea sickness I hope. Enjoy. Be safe

Hello @borisjohnson @jeremycorbyn @LibDems @MattHancock @TheBMA @JamieRobITV What is your party’s deterrent for perpetrators and incentive for @NHSUK employers to mandatorily create a work environment free from racist abuse, harassment, bullying and violence. No rhetoric please

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@ravmattu Yes of course Ravi.

[Radhakrishna Shanbhag @dhanvantari]

@MattHancock After week of strategic silence, reassured by your kind words & resolute adoption of Zero-tolerance policy on racism in NHS; 1st step on long path to challenging disparaging behaviour to eradicate the scourge on our ‘multi-cultural’ society. Thank you. I Am with you
