Wow, that Cochrane review on nurse vs doctors is actually REMARKABLY bad. So, it's obviously an interesting question, and I was totally suprised to see there have been 19 RCTs comparing mortality between nurses and doctors (!). And the reported CI is tight RR 1.03 (0.87 to 1.21)+
Wes Streeting has made new offer to resident doctors in England - 4,000 more training places over 3 years and emergency legislation to prioritise UK medical graduates. BMA say it will consult members on whether to call off next weeks strike - online survey till Monday
@ShaunLintern@wesstreeting@cazjwheeler@wesstreeting really is a glutton for punishment 😂 put me on notice!?!? Give me a break. Careerist politician who will be booted out at the next election. I will have my CCT and whilst he signs on I’ll be sunning it up in Aus. That’s your notice, hun.
@DHSCgovuk@wesstreeting Disdain for patients?! The patient whose hand I held whilst they passed away with no-one else at their bedside? The patients who I resuscitated from the brink of death? The patients who I advocate for on a daily basis? @wesstreeting is a bad crank +more incompetent than Liz Truss
Junior/Resident Doctors claim they need a further 29% pay rise to ‘restore’ their pay.
But by using their unusually high RPI measure of inflation, everyone in the country has had a 14.3% pay cut.

@NavinaEvans Dr Evan’s it really is a shame to see you spreading misinformation. Shameful as the fact you’ve not commented on this account about NTNs in >12 months that I could be bothered to scroll but you have almost every other profession??
We are reviewing the current Practitioner Health service that is provided for doctors and senior managers in secondary care, as part of a wider review to ensure that all NHS staff groups have the support they need. 3/x
🔴NEW: Physician associates accused of‘illegally’ prescribing at dozens of NHS trusts and missing life-threatening diagnoses, dossier claims. @TheDA_UK’s survey of 600+ medics comes as @TheBMA says “still time” to stop “dangerous” PA regulation 🧵 https://t.co/XyHfIBpET3
As a former NHS doctor, it makes me sad and angry to see doctors involved in action which I believe to be unethical and unforgivable, given the harm being done to patients and the NHS itself
My uni was 1 year biological science with communication/ clinical skills/ anatomy sessions with CBLs. Placement from the second year with spiral curriculum. So 5 years of clinical education in some form with 5500 hours of clinical time. HEE gaslighting themselves + patients.

The attacks on trans and non-binary people's healthcare from ministers are designed to:
1️⃣ ferment hate & fear
2️⃣ distract from #DoctorsStrike for #PayRestoration and shift discussion away from government #NHS failures, staff crisis and waiting lists
