More than just asking for a ceasefire, it’s important to note that this applies to all sides in the conflict, all hostages & the upholding of medical neutrality, humanitarian rights & international law.

Great to meet colleagues in Leeds - the plight of austerity has hit medical psychotherapy particularly hard. So much to follow up on. Thank you for stimulating thought & debate; people & relationships matter. Cultural change IS possible - if enough believe, we can help it happen.

In my role I speak to GPs up & down the country. They all now say ‘enough is enough’. We are witnessing the constructive dismissal of NHS Gen Practice by this govt. We General Practice wrote to NHS England & govt to say we’re in dispute. There’s more to come from GPs. Watch this space…

You are making a difference, Jingy, and reminding us why we are standing up with other doctors for the future of our patients & our profession. But also a reminder of why we are here, where we came from & who we are as people - for the people. Excellent news - keep inspiring us.

What a wholesome day with the family receiving a BEM for the vaccine confidence work I was involved with during the pandemic.

I’m a British Bangladeshi working class doctor who works in predominantly British Bangladeshi and/or working class communities.

Blown away by people's kindness on here. Over £3000 raised for HospiceUkraine in 24 hours - thank you all so much.

My first ever triathlon at the age of 51 is... frankly torturous.

But all donations will help hospices in Ukraine 💙

Thank you 🙏🇺🇦

Stronger together nationally, stronger together locally. Empowering through local organisation to fight against injustice & relentless devaluing medical skills & expertise. Be aware that we’re leaving learned helpless behind, for the sake of our patients & the future of medicine.

Standing up for what’s right, against an establishment tidal wave of wrongdoing, one of Jenny’s legacies is to have increased collaborative working for unified causes Doctors’ Association UK 💙 The BMA. I promised her that we would press on with her vision & aspirations for a better, safer world.

I’m flummoxed how this epic national scandal is perpetually ignored by UK Prime Minister Department of Health and Social Care & NHS England. Funding & staffing choices have made the frontline worse for general practice & hospitals. Last chance to reverse this managed decline before an election Rishi Sunak?

To all the fantastic doctors I work with and for.

It’s a pleasure and a privilege to work with and for such a dedicated, resilient, selfless and talented profession.

I have full confidence in doctors, I would and do trust my life and the lives of my loved ones in their hands.✊🏼

Wherever you are as a doctor, we stand with you to recognise & appreciate your unique skills & expertise. It’s difficult for others to understand what it’s like to be ultimately responsible for life & death, under pressure to deliver regardless & responsible when it goes wrong.
