Leonardo da Vinci invented the self supporting bridge in the 1400s. Here’s how it works:

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/2 POLL: Did you already know that 1995 scheme pension payments are NOT be backdated if taken beyond normal pension age (60 for most, 55 for "MHO status')?

Put another way, every day you work beyond your NPA age, you give up that pension you paid for back to the government

It's official - my brown envelope (RPSS) has finally arrived today! BUT I'm not going to open it until Sunday 13th @ 6pm so I can do a "live opening", and talk you through it & answer these 5 questions 👇

Please spread the word/RT

Rishi Sunak is right to raise that experts have warned of a “staff exodus” under Labour’s pensions tax for doctors.

Don’t let them.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

I genuinly think its about education, understanding and choice of the relative value of pension vs lump sum. Take NHS benefit statements (TRS) - the scheme is happy to point out max lump options, but nowhere does it show what poor value this is. Lots will tick the max lump sum box without understanding what they have given up (the same is true of opting out).

So many areas where the public sector schemes fall short on education. Another example - retirement after NPA in legacy schemes. Where is the education pointing out that this is BURNING pension. So simple for them to build tools which explain CLEARLY to people what they are giving up 👇

[Breast Cancer Now @BreastCancerNow]

It’s important to keep checking your breasts regularly between mammograms, even if you’ve had one recently - and go to your GP if you notice any unusual changes.

Very happy for all my patients to use vaginal oestrogen after breast cancer for relief of Genito-urinary symptoms.
