Yet another thing LTFT trainees have to battle with… this should not be complicated! Adrian Boyle Royal College of Emergency Medicine

Husband mucked up…

Daughter is poorly, sent home from school, rang work as going to be late as need to sort childcare - ‘but you are the only reg on the late shift, we really need you…’ Surely it should be, ‘get here when and if you can, hope your daughter is ok…’ How can we change this attitude?

Happy #EmergencyMedicineDay - this thread sums up emergency medicine rather nicely!

Well-being rooms aren’t going to make us well. You need to address why we don’t feel well about our jobs and ourselves

FRCEM positive! 🎉🍾🎊🥳 Massive shout out to the gorgeous ladies I studied with, you are amazing. thank you to the consultants that gave up their own time to teach us, most of all, to Ali, who has essentially been solo parenting this year whilst I’ve been revising - hero!

We are so overjoyed to announce the birth of our beautiful baby boy, Lucas James Gilfillan, born on 8th July, weighing a huge 9lb 7oz. We are all fine, home from hospital, and his big brother and big sister are super proud and being amazing coping with the changes!

Getting ready for this one’s first gig! Will he be the youngest in the audience? Busted Charlie Simpson James Bourne matt willis I’m so excited!!

Watching Cardiac Arrest for the first time (available on iPlayer) - not sure much has changed in the NHS…(I’m sure it has, but a lot of it feels v familiar!)

Looks like husband is stuck in London for the night, thanks to train cancellations. Fingers crossed I can get 3 kids clean, fed, dressed and to school on time tomorrow! First solo school morning - eek!

First day back in the emergency department tomorrow after my third maternity leave...what do I need to know?

New empathy for patients with broken bones now… it’s pretty painful! Drivers of Leeds, please take a bit more care and look out for cyclists!!

Catching up on last nights Traitors, and sending my husband Traitorlytics a running commentary of my thoughts!
