@rosieICM We are all issued phones by the trust - so we get work emails/messages on them. There is also an app for Locum shifts and they usually get filled pretty quickly from that.
@DrAbouzaid @BMA_JuniorDocs @TheBMA This is not from the BMA, itโs from the University and College Union, but a good starting point for reading on the law around it. Would be worth confirming with the BMA.

@AlexBThomson@bykatewomersley@thedoctorkhan@RCPsychScot@rcpsych 2/2 hybrid for locality teaching , because a lot of us to appreciate the peer support and more intangible benefits of in person teaching, especially as most of us are the only trainee in our clinical teams.
@AlexBThomson@bykatewomersley@thedoctorkhan@RCPsychScot@rcpsych 1/2 We are trying to push for hybrid. In our scheme for 1/4 trainees at any one time its 42-47 miles each way in the work day, and for regional teaching often 65-68 miles each way. There are financial, well-being and climate considerations.
@jabberwock951 @Not4Twos @TheBMA Do they not have to go on courses? My dad works as a trade union studies lecturer - basically educating trade union reps (not BMA ) about different aspects of employment law and industrial relations. Lots of the reps do several week long courses a year.
@DrNickTwit 2. Being treated as an adult learner. I would like to be able to decide whether to attend locality teaching or use the time as private study and not have my attendance monitored.
@PiksTube @Sectioned_ I wouldnโt expect a GP to decide and start medication for severe mental illness any more than I would expect a GP to decide and start chemotherapy- both need specialist input.
What I would expect is for a CMHT to accept the referral and offer medication advice to the GP.
@SonjaCowling@laurevans311@sadiestrong@t I feel like this is something that needs national standards and action rather than being dealt with on a trust to trust basis. Iโve worked in 4 trusts and itโs the same more or less everywhere.
@RTimoclea@cb8_er Either: both mental health problems and substance misuse or both significant medical and physical health problems (e.g epilepsy and functional neurological disorder and mental illness)
@HanaStev@DrGolfShirt Teenage girls who identify as lesbian have a higher pregnancy rate than teenage girls who identify as straight( in the uk). Asking if you could be pregnant isnโt assuming sexuality.
