#MedTwitter to all those new doctors who now have no control of their own lives because of a random computer-generated number and have to move hundreds of miles away, I'm so sorry. This should not be the system #NHS #DoctorsDeserveBetter #DoctorsTraining mylondon.news/news/health/an…

#MedTwitter #NurseTwitter are there any #GeneralPractice or PCNs which have introduced the 'enhanced' nurse role that I could chat to for a piece I'm doing? DM me / comment if so. Thanks! #PrimaryCare #journorequest

Looking for anyone who's had an #abortion in the UK - can be completely anonymous, for a feature-length piece on #decriminalisingabortion. Give me a DM if so #journorequest DrsforChoice_UK Abortion Rights @AbbortionSupport

Do I have any #pharmacy friends here who I could ask some quick Qs on drug interactions for a piece I'm doing with a tight deadline? Would be super grateful!!

Did you know abortion is illegal in the UK (yes it really is)? I wrote more about it and the decriminalisation of abortion movement for @SW_Londoner Click here to find out more: southwestlondoner.shorthandstories.com/abortion-decri… #abortion #decriminalisation #womensrights #abortionUK

I need your help. Having finished my NCTJ studies, I’m launching a campaign to go from soldier to journalist in 90 days. With experience in local news, defence and women’s football, I’m looking for my first full-time role in the industry and need your help to spread the word!

It’s been great (and therapeutic!) explaining just why levels of burnout and disillusionment is so high amongst junior doctors. Thank you to The Guardian for letting me write it! #MedTwitter @BMA_JuniorDocs

Is the Darzi report surprising to anyone? Working as an A&E SHO (especially over winter) highlighted the pretty dire state of the NHS - here's to hoping change is on the horizon .... metro.co.uk/2024/09/12/a-e…

Passed PACES!! MRCP(UK) ✅ Still doesn’t feel real + in shock at my score - worried I’m going to be a recipient of another MRCP fiasco in two years time 😭🙈 Not bad for a gal who had to cancel her exam the 1st time round cos she caught noro the day before in a ward outbreak

I set myself the daunting task of clearing both MRCP Part 1 and Part 2 during my F2 year (during A&E no less!). Here are my top tips for passing and aceing the exams: bmj.com/careers/articl… Feel free to DM for specifics of Q banks etc! #MedTwitter #MRCP #InternalMedicine

Hi #MedTwitter, hasn't one of the risks of GLP-1 angonists (e.g. Ozempic) always been pancreatitis? I'm sure I learnt to counsel on that at med school. More trials are great, but confused why it's suddenly being touted as a 'new, unknown side-effect'? Am I missing something?
