🔴NEW: Physician associates accused of‘illegally’ prescribing at dozens of NHS trusts and missing life-threatening diagnoses, dossier claims. Doctors’ Association UK’s survey of 600+ medics comes as The BMA says “still time” to stop “dangerous” PA regulation 🧵 telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/2…

Really enjoyed listening to the latest podcast. I’ve been fortunate to have some lectures from @Cooper00Nicola whilst studying medicine and I always find it so interesting to learn more about the importance of clinical reasoning, especially early into my career

I’m running the Great North Run for Crohn's & Colitis UK. I drunkenly signed up for a run last year and now it’s something I enjoy. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s at 16 & want to do my bit to raise money for a great charity. I’d appreciate any support, thank you justgiving.com/fundraising/da…

I’ve avoided making comment on this so far, but this is patently ridiculous. PAs & AAs are *not* medically trained. They’re *not* medical professionals. If they want to practice medicine, they should go to medical school. This ambiguity is unsafe for patients. This can’t go on.

Being a doctor is weird as you are held to infinitely high standards by everyone but also expected to play down that your job is high responsibility & intellectually tiring at times & have to act like any old rando could do your easy job so people don't think you're "superior"

After four years of work, I can’t believe that I’ve now finished my Medical School finals! In a few weeks I’ll find out if I get to be a doctor, it doesn’t seem real yet

Woken up after my first night in the Caribbean to find out I’ve passed all of my Medical School finals and I’m going to be Dr Daniel Taylor BMBS MEng 👨🏻‍⚕️🩺 can’t say it feels real just yet!

You made us dream. You made us believe. You made us cry. And you made us proud.

It’s nice to feel optimistic about the future of the country for the first time in my adult life

Incredibly proud to have graduated from the University of Nottingham as Dr Daniel Taylor BM BS (hons) MEng (hons) 🩺

Start work as a doctor next week, so now feels like the perfect time to start re-watching Scrubs

Made the move up to the North East today, ready to start work next week. If anyone has any recommendations of place to go or things to do around Newcastle, I’m looking forward to getting stuck into a new city

Heading to a wedding today after finishing my week of nights, so I’d say the odds are pretty high that all it’s going to take is one glass of fizz and I’ll be asleep in the corner by 4pm

Oh my god, America. What have you done?! I just want to give up on this planet sometimes.

Not posted your ballot yet? You've got until 30 June to guarantee it reaches us in time. The ballot for resident doctors in England is open until 7 July bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/… #PayRestoration #DoctorsStrike

When I’m sober, the idea of using the public transport of an unfamiliar city (especially abroad) is terrifying. However, once I’ve had a few drinks I’m apparently unstoppable

Doctors, Next time you’re stressed, tired and want to go home at the end of your shift, and your local managers try to guilt you into helping your underfunded and understaffed services with a rota gap etc. Remember this👇🏼 They gave applause to a politician’s attack on doctors.
