Heighington and Aycliffe railway station in County Durham, which dates from 1826 and is considered the oldest in the world, is on Historic England’s heritage at risk list. Empty since 2017, now derelict. https://t.co/87qng8deTs
This is brilliant news for Doctors, and the @TheBMA should be commended.
It should be noted that Bank pay for those of us on AfC has been cut right back, too.
🚨 UHB locum rate cuts U TURN 🚨
@uhbtrust have reversed all cuts to doctors extra contractual work rates.
@TheBMA have suspended the dispute.
We have shown trusts up and down the country the power of our collective action as doctors.
What a WIN for our members ‼️
@oldenoughtosay I don't have children, but I 100% support anyone (especially women) who wish to bring their children to more 'professional' environments like this.
This could become a very damaging dispute for a key trust. While it has to save money, the rates proposed are so low it is hard to see many docs accepting them: an F1 with a student loan would take home under £10 an hour for doing a shift on top of 48hrs normal working week.
If I have learnt anything in my life, it is how important it is for a child to be wanted.
Why does anyone think that forcing women to have children they don't want, is a good idea?
We have an abortion problem in the UK.
1 in 3 women (!!) will have an abortion in their lifetime.
Yet NO little girl grows up wanting to have an abortion.
So what’s going wrong?
Aiden Rasa raped me on the night of october 7, 2023 at a birthday party i attended for somebody that i thought was my friend. since we are electing rapists to be the leader of our country, let’s elect Aiden next. he knew i was a lesbian and had never been with a man and forced himself onto me. my “friend” Tayler Reynolds, did absolutely nothing as he chased me into her room while i hyperventilated and cried. las vegas metro has been useless and so is this entire country.
@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed • not all scanners are created equal
• not all buildings are the same (and will need to be up to standard eg. floor reenforcement, Faraday cages etc.
The scanner cost is not the only thing to be taken into consideration.
🚨 FAO all @TheBMA members working at @uhbtrust 🚨
You will have received a ‘Survey - Pay rates for extra-contractual work’ email this evening
It contains an update, chronology of events since Monday last week and a survey that will take ~1 minute to complete - please do so
@sillyoldjen@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed I get the impression you've had a terrible experience with the NHS and my colleagues, for which I am sorry.
I hope that one day you find the answers you are looking for.
I'm going to bow out now as I'm heading to bed.
@sillyoldjen@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed I mean 'bariatric', as in people who can't fit into a 70cm bore.
Some people are so claustrophobic that even w/ their head out, they can't manage so larger bores will go some way to helping with that.
@sillyoldjen@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed In the UK you are entitled to a copy of your images if you want them, and you can get a second opinion?
MRI scanner tables do shake...that's normal, especially for certain sequences, like SWIs and DWIs.
@sillyoldjen@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed c) we've been scanning clinically since the late 1980s/early 1990s, and we haven't come across anything yet, which I'd say was a positive?
@sillyoldjen@IanStockport@Azeem_Majeed Well...
a) there are risks, which is why we do a safety questionnaire before we scan you
b) we don't know if MRI is "safe" in the way that I think you're getting at, because you cannot prove a negative...
that being said...
