Upskilling nurses into anaesthetic roles isn’t progress but a dangerous erosion of standards Anaesthesia takes years of specialist training for a reason, and cutting corners like this puts patients at risk. It’s not a real solution to staff shortages, it’s just a sticking plaster

The UK legal system is haemorrhaging credibility in how it handles NHS cases. Whether its #LucyLetby or my example below.

Whenever I hear there is no money for doctors and nurses, I always think about the disaster that is HS2. It has already cost tens of billions and the end is still nowhere in sight. All the money available for private contractors but not for NHS staff. ft.com/content/e97152…

Last week, I was called "unduly pessimistic" about psychiatry. Is it "unduly"? Here are some facts: Then → Now • Suicides: 30,622 → 49,316 ⬆️61% • Psychiatric disability: 2,053,173 → 3,011,707 ⬆️47% • Teens considering suicide: 14% → 20% ⬆️43% Yet • Adults taking

⚠️Newly released emails show GMC described itself as "anxious" about the Leng Review's work on scope of practice for associates The regulator asked Prof Leng to meet Charlie Massey ahead of the roundtable to "develop and frame the questions". Trying to influence the agenda?

Consultant letter to GP. “Perhaps if the GP had done more the patient wouldn’t have suffered so much”. The patient had been referred 6 times. Each time the referral was rejected. Eventually seen 18 months later. You fuckers have no fucking idea. None. We carry this shit.

Before the Leng Review was even announced, Charlie Massey (GMC chief executive) emailed Prof Leng: "I know you will be in enormous demand, but it would be good to have an early conversation with you on all of the above and to talk about how we can support the review..."

Ministers must know that the cost of PFI and similar schemes is vastly greater than direct NHS funding. Yet they are going ahead anyway. They seem more committed to profiteering by the private sector than they are to the sustained future of the NHS. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

"Instead, for reasons that look really quite unethical, even corrupt (to some eyes), they have decided that only the ‘assess-and-treat’ / directive types of therapist are real therapists."

Another email from Charlie Massey (GMC chief executive) to Prof Leng, where the GMC said they would suggest which NHS orgs the review team should visit. "...provide some suggestions on locations you might visit to see how PAs and AAs are deployed and working in practice"

Last night, Putin sent 2 missiles 700 miles to destroy this one American factory. And Trump will spend the day continuing to praise him.

The problem isn’t getting a scan, the problem is what happens after you get the results

We absolutely CANNOT afford to return to a system like PFI where private companies profit from the taxpayer at a cost of £billions in interest, often while providing poor service and poor value for money. Repost if you agree 👊 theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

After a fatal PA misdiagnosis, the Leng Review told NHS England to act immediately to protect patients Now the FAQ says changes depend on local policies,employment law, and union talks Life‑saving reforms smothered by complacency. Every delay risks another preventable death

PAs have just posted a threatening photo of Leng, and one of them holding what looks like a baseball bat. Looks and feels ominous.

Jesus Christ Keir Starmer, When you said your Govt would take "concrete actions" in response to Israel's military expansion and aid blockade Is this what you meant?! 'Labour could sign £2bn contract with Israeli weapons firm' UNREAL. thenational.scot/news/25408067.…

We’re at a dangerous moment in our country - where refugees are being blamed for all society's problems. While the super-rich, who really caused these problems, are busy taking more and more wealth from working class people. For 40 years, the ideas launched by Thatcher - cuts,
