@jfwong So many giveaways! Glad I was able to buy one of the secret lairs from you!

Had a dream where I was majorly stressed out because I had to give away a Gaea’s Cradle.

Let’s give one away in real life instead. Japanese Gaea’s Cradle, up for grabs. I’ll choose one random person who replies to this tweet, retweets it, and follows me by end of today.

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

My perspective on AAs; a 🧵

I was an ANP before medical school and am now a specialty doctor in anaesthetics.

I work with 2 qualified AAs who are excellent,

I am often asked for my opinion given my background, so here it is a long thread including my own story.

Great comment from Reddit about the truth behind the Imane Khelif situation

[Emma 💛💙🇩🇰🇬🇧🇪🇺 @MonkEmma]

OMG 😱

Farage’s party came second in 120 constituencies

They got 12.6% of the votes - 3rd highest vote share

They got 2 MPs

While the winning party only got 36.9%

Oh no, wait a sec - that was UKIP in 2015!

Great day at @Assoc_Anaes trainee conference today! Some really inspiring talks #tc2024

Is everyone seriously going to pretend that all of this isn’t a direct result of Israel bombing an embassy in the capital of another sovereign state?

[Sean Monaghan @DrSeanMon]

I've been thinking about this little nugget for a while now and I've realised it's a selling point that has been imported unmodified from the US.

Very happy for friends and colleagues who have gotten their anaesthetic training jobs. Unfortunately it’ll be reapplication for me next year, didn’t get a job in Scotland.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

I can’t believe what I’m reading!

The Director of Education & Standards of the GMC states that medical degrees are no longer needed as non-doctors can use smartphones?!

Sure, I may check on current guidance, confirm med doses, etc but not medicine itself!

WTF IS HAPPENING!!

@caffeinemedic What was cut off last year?

[Owain Thomas @thomas_owain]

@hlnewey Dundee prior to covid had a 4 week surgery, 4 week medicine. We had just an 8 week assistantship, quite varied depending on ward. Mine was on geriatrics which I found super useful!

[Owain Thomas @thomas_owain]

@caffeinemedic Have you been to Maki & Ramen or Nippon Kitchen? Would highly recommend both!

[Owain Thomas @thomas_owain]

@coollyndz @WoganCoffee do an excellent decaf!

@IamNowAMedic For applying for ACCS you’ll need to sit the MSRA, that’s used for shortlisting for interview
