@HealthRegLawyer @SimonGreasley @parthaskar These days it is difficult to differentiate btw real concerns vs attack on HCPs..... so sad and at times shameful.... use to be from pts but now it comes from 'colleagues'

Dear @wesstreeting

Comparing data between 2016 -2020 and 2020-2024?

As per the @gmcuk

The difference in employer referral rates between ethnic minority and white doctors has fallen by 61%

For non-Uk versus UK graduates, the difference in referral rates has dropped by 69%

The regulator says it is now on track to hit its target of eliminating disproportionate employer fitness to practise referrals by the end of 2026.

From someone who works with the GMC on tackling referral inequity

Let’s not encourage dog whistling 👍🏽

Much regards

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice.

It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates.

It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.

@kamleshkhunti @AmarPut @AskDrShashank @GoggleDocs @EASDnews @ADA_DiabetesPro @WilmotEmma @drpratikc @DiabetesUK @Rssdi_official I presume the use of CGM is the key in this trial leading to no significant AEs?

Hard truth: no Black African has won a Nobel in Phys/Med, Chem, or Physics. Not a talent gap. A systems gap. 🧪🌍
Fix it: fund African-led consortia; equitable IP/authorship; APC & visa waivers; mentorship + protected time; nominate relentlessly. ✊🏿

@RaziaAliani I guess it's similar to the car evolution- does automatic cars make us worse drivers than manual car drivers, and will self driving cars make our driving skills and knowledge redundant 🤷🏿‍♂️... there is a thin line between using technology and technology using (replacing) us...

@drpablocorral With ethnic minorities at higher risk of gout, I wondered how the study population reflects this, and if the sub-analysis offers any comment on this diversity issue ... I also wondered if taking drugs like thiazides that increase urate level was reviewed in the sub-analysis? Thnx

In June, nearly eight million people received universal credit, 83.6% of whom were British and Irish nationals 🤷🏿...Around 1.5% of claimants were refugees and 0.7% had arrived in the UK via safe routes such as those for Ukrainians and Afghans.

@MWeintraubMD @DrRamiMFikri Except essential factors such as behavioural change and CRF are used as medication, this trial is already flawed. To access if participants can maintain wgt loss without offering an appropriate alternative structured treatment already sets placebo participants up to fail.

@iDrSunny Everyone seems to be at war ... It seems the memo didn't get around.... the 👉 pointing game never grows old.... 🙂 ... self-preservation is a natural instinct, I guess... but we don't have to use pejorative connotations at others to elevate self-worth and concerns ...🙏🏿

[Charles Odiase @shapeurthinking]

@iDrSunny We all hope for a better tomorrow.... I wish you well too... thanks for sharing your views politely as a professional🙏🏿🙂

[Charles Odiase @shapeurthinking]

@iDrSunny Yes, that's the risk faced by all houses... especially in the present toxic medical field environment, and constant attacks and pejorative connotations towards other colleagues by professionals hiding behind anons claiming for safety while throwing nastiness on others ..🤷🏿

@iDrSunny When the majority of the floors are based on experiential learning, other HCPs' experiential learning shouldn't be belittled just because it was built by a different builder. What matters is the integrity of the building. Evolving is the strength of the field of medicine"🙂🙏🏿

[Charles Odiase @shapeurthinking]

@iDrSunny We are all healthcare professionals. Medical professionals aren't all medical practitioners, and this is where regulation comes in. Medicine refers to the science, art, and practice of diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. Many professionals work in the field of medicine

[Charles Odiase @shapeurthinking]

@iDrSunny "Substandard care is the moral weighted weaponised bias often used to resist change & belittle other HCPs experiential learning. Forgetting we practice medicine that our historical ancestors could only dream of. Evolving has always been the strength of the field of medicine"🙂🙏🏿
