When my older brother was first diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, he took part in research to help others avoid going through some of what he was about to. Sadly he is no longer with us but we want to continue his legacy and help the research to carry on.

“Ventilate, ventilate, ventilate.
Get air filtration systems in place.
Imagine a world where we have air filtration in classrooms and workplaces.”

@DrAmirKhanGP hitting the nail squarely on the head.

They aren't quitting science, they're quitting academia.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

These stats, just released, are a national scandal.

Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year.

Yet @NHSEngland is letting only 4000 of them do so.

Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs.

Many replaced with PAs - madness.

[Vega Shah @dr_alphalyrae]

we’re not quitting science, we’re quitting academia. I am still very much in science and will remain here forever

I actually can’t believe that homework is normalised. Like kids go to school Monday to Friday 8.30 to 3.30 38 weeks of the year, get home about 4/4.30 (or later if clubs) and are expected to then spend another couple of hours on school work. Why do we accept this?

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

Covid is airborne.

It was so difficult for people in power to admit this because of the ramifications for keeping people safe from Covid.

So now we just don’t bother. 😢

🏅 The Paralympics in Paris showcases the power of inclusive design, with 4,500+ athletes from 128 nations competing across 22 sports. Human factors help create systems for everyone to perform at their best. Let's challenge poor design and build a world where everyone thrives.

So a GP will spend 10 mins seeing a patient

Then a PA will spend 10 mins seeing a patient, but the GP will have to spend another 5-10 mins checking to see if the PA did the job correctly

Isn't this is a massive inefficiency 🤷‍♀️

Why not get rid of PAs and hire more GPs👍

Who comes up with these ridiculous tax payer money wasting policies that endanger patients and waste our taxes on under qualified staff in frontline NHS services? I bet it was the 14 years of the Conservatives trying to create a two tier health system 🤦‍♀️

To those saying this is happening because British governments haven’t an honest conversation with ordinary British people about Immigration.
You don’t storm a holiday inn full of foreigners and set fire to it because of that .
It happens… because they got dehumanised.

This thread is absolutely spot on on what must happen now.

I have a friend with a baby in ICU fighting for their life with an antibiotic resistant bacteria. This is why I will NOT support pharmacists prescribing "UTI" antibiotics for presumed infection without examination.These drugs are precious & we are squandering them for convenience

THREAD on why "living with" frequent mass Covid infections is a BAD IDEA (& what we can do!):

There is a negative feedback cycle for transmission & *each time* we go through it in a wave we damage our people, our NHS and our economy a bit more.

let me show you how... 1/17

Nice to have someone answering the questions innit!
