A victory for patient safety: our case against the GMC over their failure to properly regulate Associates is now heading straight to the High Court! Mr Justice Chamberlain ruled it raises serious issues for patients and he granted us permission and expedition.

Everyone wants more funding for science but what gets lost is just how much we spend on useless research and useless researchers. We have funded people to improve CT lung screening in homeless drug addicts. That is a current NIH grant.

The average annual charge for a child in a private equity-run care home is £281,000. That's five times the cost of being a boarder at Eton.

This is a complete failure of medical leadership in the UK!

2 Students start medical school in 2013 One drops out and becomes a PA, the other continues their Medical degree By 2021 the Medical Student is in their first GP training post... The PA is a GP Partner Madness

There really needs to be reform of medical jobs in the UK. Clearly there needs to be prioritisation like in every other country. Also there needs to be a massive expansion in GP registrars and jobs. Using non-GPs in primary care is such a false economy.

I wonder how this would look if only UK applicants can apply in round 1!!! Everyone knows the reason for exponential rise in applicants and no other country in the world does this rubbish.

How many patients with advanced or metastatic cancer respond to immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors)? Our new paper in the International Journal of Cancer tackles this question, led by Alyson Haslam with Vinay Prasad MD MPH 🧵 1/8

Ecstatic to see this out! Important implications for immune targeting in pancreatic cancer. Has been a labour of love! Lots of fantastic collaborators and important new early phase trials being set up! nature.com/articles/s4146…

New study led by Dr Shivan Sivakumar shows why there are differences in prognosis between different pancreatic tumours, understanding why in some instances immunotherapy fails, which will help identify potential avenues for improved treatment approaches. birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/panc…

Shaun Lintern If this was a doctor/nurse - their name would be all over the media with demands for justice, criminal charges & a trial- so why when an organisation, through organisational failure leads to deaths of pts do we not see someone from the organisation as being held responsible ??

Doctors are mugs for allowing this to happen The less you’ve trained the more you’re paid

I promised to come back to X after I investigated the facts concerning Elisabeth Potter MD's video post about UnitedHealthcare and its health insurance subsidiary, UnitedHealthcare. To review, I made an X post in response to Dr. Potter's videos and X posts about an overzealous representative of

The solution to this is simple. To change medicine away from being a shortage profession under UK immigration law and to prioritise UK medics. Complete waste of UK taxpayer funding here. No other country’s medical profession behaves like this.

Well said! How we have let postgrad training turn into this international free for all is incredible. Not sure why we need a review to do this. Why leave a whole generation of UK doctors dissatisfied

I would love to see a real world evidence study of giving mounjaro or ozempic to newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in the nhs. It would be a gamechanger for patients and the nhs.

Delighted to have the opportunity to present to the NIHR strategy board on Birmingham’s leading pancreatic cancer trial portfolio with infant in tow (inset day equals daddy day care).

Super proud of our trials team today! We have randomised the first patient in the UK to a major phase 3 trial in pancreatic cancer that has the potential to change first line treatment for patients.
