When I was a CMT1 I was in a godawful post where I ended up driving to a lake to drown myself after work one late night after finishing.
The Trust's Occupational Health sole suggestion was that I talk to my non existent supervisor "if I was struggling".
📢 STRIKE DATES ANNOUNCEMENT📢 Junior doctors in England to take further #PayRestoration industrial action.
The first strike action will take place from 7am on 20 December to 7am on 23 December. The second will take place from 7am on 3 January until 7am on 9 January.
With yet another failing from our racial segregator (?regulator), @gmcuk, I was genuinely stunned to learn the atrocities they have committed according to the Horsfall Review:
@gmcuk responsible for “more than 10% of the country’s death rate at work”.
@ConkerLover Apologies for this, the site is being worked on behind the scenes and will be relaunched soon, we are aware of these bugs and they will be fixed with the relaunch
Will @gmcuk reflect that their zealous, aggressive, oppressive approaches to regulating doctors might have lead to defensive practice and weaponisation to silence whistle blowers to the detriment of patients?
The public inquiry scope should include regulators.

So disheartening to see this from a consultant in the department I’m currently training in. Thankfully all our other consultants (those actively involved in acute care for our patients, unlike Dr Johnson) have been so supportive of our decision and right to strike.
We unveiled our new #juniordoctors mess at Hull Royal Infirmary today, updated to provide comfortable modern surroundings for doctors in training to rest and relax. As well as seating, dining and kitchen areas, there are also 4 sleeping pods for those on-call/on shifts @PurvaDr
Have had hundreds of notifications to open up twitter this morning
About the latest @gmcuk case
Dr. Pandian
That’s setting some precedent on note keeping & the principle of apologies
@the_mdu@MPS_Medical thoughts welcome
Change in practice needed?

It's happened again. Despite medical notes, GMC decided the patient was telling the truth. I have had many patients tell me mistruths. Why should we believe Patient A here?
I'm a plastics reg but could still do chest/abdo/heart exam & document in 20 mins

Patient accuses doctor of documenting a physical exam that never happened. Doctor maintains innocence - has documented the exam.
@gmcuk finds doctors FtP impaired because the patient could recall the situation better than the doctor, who had to rely on notes.
@BAPIOUK
Second day of the Junior Doctors Strike and the Health Secretary is nowhere to be seen. You there @SteveBarclay ? Getting worried. @TheBMA @BMA_JuniorDocs #JuniorDoctorsStrike
Member of the junior doctor's committee for the British Medical Association, Dr Arjan Singh, says Health Secretary Steve Barclay refuses to negotiate and says the strikes will stop if the pay is raised to £19 an hour.

Right: posters up this week at QEH warning patients of 12 hour waits to be seen, referencing junior doctor strikes. Left: a photo I took in the same A&E department in December with no strikes and normal staffing. The NHS is in crisis every day. We have to hold on to our doctors.
