The research achievements of the clinical oncology community are extraordinary. How do we nurture the next generation of research-active clin oncs to ensure these are sustained? Some thoughts from @katiespencer72 and I out in Clin Onc today. Do you agree?

I guess I didn’t quite grasp this concept ignorantly. Now re-educated!

In light of current racial tensions, documented #BAME health inequalities and raised #COVID19 risk, the RCR wishes to make it clear that #BlackLivesMatter.

We stand with our BAME colleagues and are fully committed to helping to eradicate inequalities and institutional racism.

Been reading a bunch of posts that try to give academics "permission" to take it easy, and put projects and manuscripts on the back-burner, and work instead on jigsaw puzzles and devouring novels

Strangely related to what I am talking about re careerism [thread]

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

I intubated my colleague today, a young, healthy ER doc like me. This is what I learned...

Another 7 days without action. Disgraceful @RishiSunak @MattHancock

Critical healthcare staff forced out of the pension scheme by broken taxes MUST not receive inferior death-in-service / ill health terms.

Fix NOW (or immediately scrap the broken pension taxes)

1/24 It’s clear from London CEOs that London trusts are now in the full flow of managing explosion of covid19 related demand we were all expecting. Thought it would be helpful to share impressions of what’s happening and what others can start to learn from London’s experiences….

THREAD for cancer patients: Why we need to change radiotherapy practice during #COVID19 pandemic.
Radiotherapy is the practice of treating cancer with high energy Xrays. 1 in 2 cancer patients will need radiotherapy at some point which may be with curative or palliative intent #1
