Anxiety in the ER is a diagnosis of exclusion

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: many senior doctors desperate to help waiting lists & would be willing to give up evenings/weekends to help out. But current tax rules will mean some could end up #PayingToWork 👇 RT if you want Wes Streeting MP James Murray to fix this ludicrous tax trap

Wes Streeting MP 6/ other tax cliff for newer consultants with young children highlighted by Institute for Fiscal Studies Dan Neidle and others We all want to fix waiting lists. But we cant, and wont, pay to work

Wes Streeting MP this is why I retired early. It makes it impossible to continue. This is the reason for your consultant crisis right here.

This is a major issue for a lot of people, and not even consultants. Essentially impossible to take on additional work if you have young children. No one is going to pay to turn up to work with a marginal tax rate well well >100%

After due consideration, listening to BMA webinars, and speaking to colleagues (particularly those at the beginning of their careers) I have voted yes on the resident doctor deal. Bank and build. Regardless of the outcome, I will support my colleagues. The BMA James Steen

Ben Zaranko You’re kind of right but as well as there being too many chefs and not enough hobs, the chefs have to also serve the dishes and reset the tables We’ve lost the principles of division of labour and gone back to everyone doing everything under the label “working at top of license”

Hang on a second, this is absolutely unbelievable You can’t retake the MSRA in subsequent applications? This score was 8th centile Yet you need top 25%+ to get an interview for anaesthetics? Who on earth thinks MSRA is the correct test in the first place

Charlotte Julie McDonald Royal College of Anaesthetists Maybe baby steps….. But tbh if everyone adhered to what the Royal College of Anaesthetists statement proposed it would be a massive step forward We could also rewrite a few yellow badges! One of these is a consultant & one a staff nurse

I now turn my gaze to EveryDoctor and what exactly they have achieved from years of accepting donations from and selling merchadise to the public, claiming to campaign/work to “save the NHS”.

A revolt over patient safety and declining expertise is tearing the medical establishment apart. 🖊️ Phil Whitaker newstatesman.com/long-reads/202…

Do you think we’ve reached the stage of needing some sort of independent national review on the state of training and application? From the FY cock up, to specialty recruitment, to incorrect exam results, shoddy administration, unfair treatment of trainees, extortionate fees…

This is sadly not that uncommon, sometimes the first person who tells someone they are dying is me as I discuss limits of care and ICU admission (or not). We have to be honest with patients, ignoring reality helps no one.
