Great pleasure to present our case report on a successful high risk twin pregnancy in a young patient with ccTGA + VSD + PS. Grateful for your guidance Dr @Ellie_Silson and to the @BritishCardioSo for the opportunity to present at #BCS2026

@DrEilidhMaria @parthaskar You = all of you in leadership roles, not just targeting you!

[JC @jocho1985]

@DrEilidhMaria @parthaskar Makes sense & totally sensible to protect yourself. Hope you can use what you’ve learned in your discussions & what you see here (which is very similar to Reddit, tbh) to develop messaging that’s more constructive & collaborative than blame-y, that’s all.

[JC @jocho1985]

@parthaskar @DrEilidhMaria As much as I agree with the long term focus needed for FPR, it’s difficult to ask people who won’t have a job coming up and need to save to strike for pay. This was similar to the situation many UKG F2s were in these past few years so I don’t think adapting messaging will be hard

[JC @jocho1985]

@parthaskar @DrEilidhMaria Agree with you Prof Kar. Would prob help those running for BMA leadership to take stock of the general sentiments and dialogue so as to target messaging as opposed to the original post here which is frankly a bit dismissive to how some people are (justifiably) feeling.

[JC @jocho1985]

@LNER No problem! Your staff at King’s Cross were very helpful and supportive in finding an alternative route home. Major thanks to all of you for your help during a stressful time!

[JC @jocho1985]

@LNER is there any info about when the trains from King’s Cross to York will resume today?

To my UK friends, if you are watching the US and ICE atrocities, I want you to pay closer attention as to what Reform has in mind for the UK

Farage published this in August 2025, an operation modelled on ICE

@parthaskar @thevirdas It is Prof Kar! I’ve been searching for it myself. Sadly not playing anywhere near me but Vir kindly posted a list of where it’s playing in the UK on his Instagram: https://t.co/3RT8DfdJbj

About the “Medical Prioritisation Bill”

An ask to @NHSE_WTE @NHSEngland @gmcuk @RCPhysicians @rcgp @TheBMA

Poor workforce planning and its consequences should not fall on IMGs already in the system

And if no one else can say it?
I am happy to say so publicly

Thanks

[Dr Mark Dziobon @MDzi]

@parthaskar @NHSE_WTE @NHSEngland @gmcuk @RCPhysicians @rcgp @TheBMA @PaedED @RaoMala @tcgannon @sasbanerjee @sas_sobauk @drpratikc @docwas @DrSelvarajah @jsbamrah @BDChadwick It’s ok to prioritise. It’s not ok to actively recruit doctors from abroad to then actively abandon them leaving them In limbo or trying to get trained.

[JC @jocho1985]

@BMA_James_Steen @Molly2323232323 @TheBMA @BMAResidents @SheffieldHosp There are other hospitals doing this too.

[JC @jocho1985]

@dru_jlh This is me (non doctor) with my doctor husband too 🤣😆

[JC @jocho1985]

@DrLKVaughan We already see a huge discrepancy in opportunity based on region/deanery/location. Anything more “local” is going to be extremely detrimental to ensuring national consistency, strength and confidence in training programs overall and will def result in haves and have nots.

[JC @jocho1985]

@HolyoakeJ14576 @_Sheryl_H Isn’t taxpayer money being used for this NHSE PA program? How many of us members of the public want this?

[JC @jocho1985]

@Ellaj26927542 @parthaskar @DrLKVaughan @ShivaniM_KC @Rezaidi @drphilhammond @doctor_oxford @DrSelvarajah @ShrillaB @iDrSunny @BenAllenGP @TIME_research I’m a patient and I care who I’m seeing.
Also all my letters have specified who they’re from.

[JC @jocho1985]

@1kunalbahl Weren’t they always meant to be a roof over your head and you have all these options for the rest? Why on earth would you expect a hotel to provide you with these extras. This is an absurd take.

[JC @jocho1985]

@Microbedoc2 1000000% this. They’re preventing people from getting reimbursement.

[JC @jocho1985]

@jinnieshinnie I have complex medical needs. I want to be seen by a doctor.

[JC @jocho1985]

@kevinmo73481044 @anaesthetic_spr Kevin, as an individual with specific medical needs I’d rather see a doctor than whoever you’re talking about.
