Doctor in London into all things @nhs & how digital transformation can help it. Tweets are mostly mine; retweets are probably endorsements.

Well, what sort of farewell cake did you expect at an upper GI surgeon’s retirement party? @LG_NHS
Saying happy retirement to Mr Alek Uzkalnis!

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

Groundbreaking stuff - literally - from @LG_NHS yesterday!

This surgical centre is going to serve the local population and well beyond, in partnership with @GSTTnhs and @KingsCollegeNHS. Down with long waits!

[Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust @LG_NHS]

Yesterday, we were thrilled to welcome Mayor @Brenda_Dacres, reps from our construction partners Sisk and our wonderful colleagues and NHS friends to break ground on Lewisham Surgical Centre, which from late 2025 will perform 5,000+ ENT procedures a year for south east London!

Spotted at a bus stop outside my local polling station in Blackheath (Lewisham North constituency). Made me chuckle, but I’m not quite 100% sure that it’s a fake. Is this for real @lewishamlabour @UKLabour ?! #GeneralElection24

@RadioGenoa Doesn’t look like London

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

It’s that time of the year!
Think it’s just a matter of turning the clocks back? No, for electronic patient records there’s more to it than that.

We need an ‘ambiguous time message’ #ClocsGoBack @OracleHealth

You’re welcome.

@mbunkerlondon @Se_Railway @BTP Word is they were two thirteen year old boys. So I doubt there will be any consequences for them. Unlike for thousands of people trying to do a day’s work

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

@Se_Railway @mbunkerlondon Any idea of then power will be restored? Surely won’t have to wait too long to turn it back on if the person has been removed

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

@BrittanyFerries Do we know why it’s taking so long to board the Pont-Aven? Seems to be really slow compared to other ferries.

@KingsCollegeNHS @NHSSELondon @SELondonICS @kingshealth @ShelfordGrp @HWBromley @OneBromley Congratulations @AngelaH_LGT!

Great public support on Lewisham High St outside @LG_NHS for our picket #ConsultantsStrike @BMA_Consultants

[Richard Appleby @RNAppleby]

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?

Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.

Why? 🧵 👇

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

Morale is high at BMA house as we get warmed up for Mick Lynch

Public sector workers need to present a united front against a monopoly employer driving down our real pay.

Don’t let govt divide us!

Thanks for everything you did for me 5 years ago today NHS.

Thanks to the 40 people at Lewisham who saved me.

Especially my consultant Vic

Happy 75th.

Couldn’t do it* without you

The NHS treats more than a million people a day. We’ve all got our stories.

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

Happy 75th Birthday NHS! @LG_NHS

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

@jddavies45 @muffinbreakuk @LG_NHS I’m back. I didn’t move there, more’s the pity

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

Where everybody knows your name @muffinbreakuk @LG_NHS #cheers

@DrHelenOram @EHA_Hematology You got the hashtag?

[John O'Donohue @themedicaldon]

New question I’ll be asking all my new patients, at the end of the history-taking. From tomorrow.

‘Is there anything else important I need to know about you?’

*looks directly at patient*
