Working in the NHS is just not what it used to be.
Really disheartening. I feel for the juniors. Their training has been shattered by having to cover rota gaps all the time. Their pay has not kept up with inflation. They are having to compete with other healthcare professionals

[KhaldaHalim @kk_here_again]

Fascinating keynote talk from Prof Partha Kar at #RCPUpdate Bournemouth. Amazing how the world of diabetes has changed in the past 20 years!
Note to us in Cardio: Euglycaemic ketoacidosis. Remember that with the next SGLT2i prescription

Open letter to the UK Government and NHS bodies to Stand in Solidarity with Sudan

#KeepEyesOnSudan
@RishiSunak @JamesCleverly @SteveBarclay

We, the undersigned, are writing to you to join the call of the Sudanese Doctors Union (SDU-UK) to stand in solidarity with the innocent unarmed civilians in Sudan. Since the 15th of April 2023, an armed conflict between the military and paramilitary has erupted in the capital Khartoum and other cities in Sudan. The death toll is getting worse, and the number of serious casualties is reported to be in thousands.
As health workers in the national health service in the UK, we are aware that a large number of Sudanese colleagues are following the dire situation in their home country with serious concerns.
Almost 70% of health facilities are out of action in the capital either due to direct air strikes or the inability of the health workers to reach hospitals. Despite announcing temporary periods of ceasefire, this agreement was not implemented, and there are no safe corridors for health workers to reach hospitals or primary health facilities. Direct attacks on hospitals and pre hospital ambulances by security forces are affecting safe access to health. A serious medication shortage is emerging in Sudan.
What is further alarming is the direct bombing of local pharmaceutical factories in Khartoum. There are ongoing calls by the civilians on social media platforms for important lifesaving medication, e.g., insulin. The short and the medium-term impact of the damage of this armed conflict on the screening programs, vaccination programs, antenatal care, malnutrition, and TB care, amongst others, is expected to be really severe.
As civilians flee their home seeking safe shelter, an evolving refugees’ emergency situation is being reported at the northern and eastern borders of Sudan.
We are reaching out to the UK government and NHS bodies, and the relevant agencies to
▪️ stand in solidarity with the civilians in Sudan and those stranded in the borders to ensure their safety and wellbeing
▪️ support diplomatic efforts for ceasefire and to ensure safe passage and corridors to and from Khartoum to access health and basic needs
▪️ facilitate medical deployment to the borders to avoid a humanitarian crisis in collaboration with British partners on the ground
▪️ provide wellness services to Sudanese health workers in NHS in such critical times

In our latest Off Script, @dr_benoy_n_shah argues in support of the UK #JuniorDoctorsStrikes. "The fact that salaries from April 2003 and April 2023, for the same job, are even remotely comparable is truly staggering," he says.

Madeleine Albright said there's a special place in hell for women that don't help other women

I feel similarly about the retired or soon-to-retire senior medics, who did extremely well from medicine, writing into national papers punching down on the generation below

For shame

[Benoy Shah MD @dr_benoy_n_shah]

This will hopefully be of interest & educational value to all the valve enthusiasts out there. Our previous 2 webinars were very well received, so we hope you can join us on December 2nd!
