Patients need doctors
Doctors need jobs.
The govt will tell you that they have a Workforce Plan, that they are training more doctors, but
they don't apparently have a plan to employ them.
This is horrible for the doctors involved. What a stupid waste.

Being shy is not the same as being introverted.

Shyness stems from social anxiety. The goal is to avoid being evaluated negatively.

Introversion is rooted in neurological sensitivity. The goal is to avoid being overstimulated.

The Health & Care Bill is back in the Commons tmrw.

It divides the NHS into 42 areas led by Integrated Care Boards which - incredibly - private companies will be allowed to sit on.

I believe private companies should *never* get a say in how the NHS is run.

The cruel, vindictive destruction of the family lives of people who dare to protest in the UK is the theme of this week's column. It's a glimpse into the dark heart of the state. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Loved discussing hope for BMJ Student podcast Sharp Scratch. Was thinking over the weekend how I went from despair at news of NHS Practitioner Health to a sense of hopefulness as I watched support gather. Also really struck by the connectedness and sense of community it brought...

My reaction to it was grossly misunderstood by my peers, and by colleagues I had previously trusted too.

I lost my health, via major surgery, and then my job

GENERAL PRACTICE - SAVED BY NHSE TARGETS & GMC GUIDANCE

With ‘RESILIENCE’ & ‘KINDNESS’ GPs have been given all the tools and resources needed to survive into the next decade

Either way it's depressing & good to see a TON of pushback

Systems must look after, support staff, to enable them to look after their patients. Systems that are not supporting staff to enable them to be able to give their best are in my humble opinion losing site of the most important people. #Staff #Patients

There is no ‘backstory’ to ending of 2/care NHS Practitioner Health other than (we’re told) - no budget. To remind, it was established following suicide of a psychiatry who also killed her baby and highlighted the barriers doctors have in accessing mental health care.
