Did you know?

BME doctors were TWICE as likely to receive a complaint or be referred to the GMC compared to their white colleagues.

That difference more pronounced when from EMPLOYER aka NHS- than the public.

Let's be clear how biased that data looks

And not make excuses

An important reminder to all in the @NHSuk when under pressure to do extra, that your family, friends and self are first priority in your life. Your clinical role is replaceable. #retention #recruitment @BMA_Consultants

"living with" these levels of infections - even for only a few weeks - is incredibly disruptive for all industries and downright dangerous in ones like healthcare.

You cannot legislate for people to not feel ill and nor can you legislate away how long they are infectious for.

Illustrating a story about terrifyingly hot weather with happy people swimming is so 2021.

@redneeraj Have you got a good biriyani recipe?

“myths that legitimize inequity include the concept of a meritocracy — the idea that success is based primarily on a person’s abilities, which ignores the effects of structural racism on opportunities”

I frequently go round in circles when talking about this

THANK YOU mystery book-giver for this gem! This one is interesting because in it's attempt to convice the reader, it highlights the logical fallacies (1955) that are STILL the bedrock of UFO/UAP advocates. Here's a few (thread):

Last night I watched #DontLookUp. It was like seeing my adult life flash past me.
Even down to the morning TV show where I totally lost it while trying, for the 1000th time, to explain what climate breakdown would do.
All the anger, the frustration, the desperation: I feel it.

@AfzaliBehdad Congratulations Ben! Very well deserved!

A stark reminder that the struggle doesn’t end for those who are clean. Thank you for writing this.

@benthebray Ooh. Could be. However I don’t remember her sloping off to see it at the cinema.

And then I wonder if it’s closer to the Flukeman from Season 2 of the X Files…

7 year old daughter drew this picture of “Santa” yesterday.

Seriously hoping this freak didn’t emerge from anyone’s fireplace this Christmas morning to… you know… feast on people.

Thread summarising all of today’s Omicron severity data:

Story from me, @mroliverbarnes and @rmilneNordic, running through new data from South Africa, Denmark, England & Scotland https://t.co/6axp4zau9G

Top-line: share of Omicron cases requiring hospital is lower than for Delta

@safetynurse999 @KingsCollegeNHS Woop woop! Let me know if you’re about one Monday for a coffee and patient safety chat!

Any writer who claims 'UK models always overestimate COVID numbers' is either lazy or trying to mislead their readers. A few illustrations... 1/

Got the classic "rare disease" line of questioning at my gyno today. Please for the love of God stop asking chronically ill patients who coordinates our care. No one does. No one. They just splice up our bodies piecemeal and send us to the next specialist. 1/4
