#bbcqt given that only 52% voted for Brexit and we now have nothing like what was voted for, how can it really be democratic to leave? Why oh why wasn’t the referendum framed so that more than a simple majority had to be recorded for such a massive and irreversible decision?

@DrPeterOKane @danmckenzie73 Congratulations Peter, safe hands!!

@Dr_Stig Looks good Stig. Made it home after my own 0430 foray into the cath lab. Hoping for tea and toast in bed…

@tblho @lornawilko @BlanshardC Long live the King!!

@Dr_Stig Unusual not to see you in the water Stig - you must have been tempted to dive in!!

[Graeme Kirkwood @GraemeKCrm]

@mmamas1973 @ShivaniM_KC @RCPhysicians Likewise. I expect if you tweet the process then the migration will begin and may have some impact

The Gov, despite opposition from doctors, is pressing ahead with regulating PAs & AAs under the GMC. @Jeremy_Hunt, as my MP, please oppose the draft Anaesthesia Associates and Physician Associates Order 2024 to protect patient safety

Congratulations to @CharlesCumming for another fab read. I had to deliberately eke it out to extend the enjoyment - until I gave up and read the second half in the last 24 hours.

[💙 Matthew Faircloth 💙 @mefaircloth]

Just finished reading Kennedy 35 by @CharlesCumming Wow what a read - another fabulous book and great to follow the characters from the previous two books. I really hope there is another instalment - much to follow up.
If you haven’t read CC’s books, you have a treat ahead!

@Dr_Stig Also, trying to work out if the psychiatry textbook was opened once or never - looks less well used than the others…

@Dr_Stig Looking at some of these brought me out in a cold sweat - as if we had a test in the morning.

@PMccoubrie As long as the AI says to correlate with clinical findings - like a good radiologist, it’s covered - like a “good radiologist”

More an issue with the penetrance of radial seen in the UK and elsewhere, then where it is 50%.
We do need to ensure that current trainers can still use fem - otherwise its risks will ⬆️

@101dnarg @QurocSUP @Renmakesmusic Looks beautiful!

[💙 Matthew Faircloth 💙 @mefaircloth]

@Dr_Stig @ucl Brilliant stuff and many congratulations to Annabelle
BTW - you’re not fooling anyone with 24 years Stig 🤣 - it’s a rather frightening 34 years since we lit up St George’s!

We cannot allow the ongoing issues around staffing gaps and poor morale to continue. Government breath holding like a toddler is unfair on patients. The DDRB needs putting back the way it was and a plan to fix pay.

[Henry Moeran @henrymoeranBBC]

The players will walk off at 6.43 this evening with at least 30 minutes of light where they could play.

Tomorrow will be a washout, as might Sunday.

Does cricket need to be less stubborn with timings?

(I say this not as an England supporter, but as a cricket lover.)

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

Can someone explain something to me?

WHY are doctors themselves having to fight for patients to have a properly staffed NHS

Instead of the government doing everything they can to staff their healthcare like other countries which offer higher wages, visas and other incentives?
