#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 after 9/11. As a result, 1,105 European & Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan War - 1/3 of coalition casualties. I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help.

The result of a totally bonkers decision to remove the Resident Labour Market Test for domestically-trained doctors, meaning they can't be preferred for NHS jobs. Absolutely insane when we have such a supposed shortage of doctors!

Resident doctors in our region are sadly affected by this. Doctors have today declined offers elsewhere to become radiologists. A specialty without enough consultants. Now that’s in the lurch thanks to NHS England Workforce, Training and Education. All offers must be guaranteed. Followed by an investigation.

Furious that every recent error from organisations that run recruitment or exams ends up having a devastating impact on Resident Doctor colleagues. There is a very thin line between “error” & negligent disregard. This is utterly unacceptable.

Catastrophic incompetence yet again from NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Time and time again NHS England Workforce, Training and Education fails resident doctors through its calamitous mismanagement. One or two errors are learning opportunities. Repeated failures, without correction or redress, is a catastrophic lack of leadership.

Recruitment for CT/ST1 including upgrades has ground to a halt in the entirety of Scotland wales and England, no new offers, no new upgrades, for an undisclosed amount of time. And we’re supposed to be thankful because they’re trying to fix it? This system needs ripping down.

Not a single word from Dr Navina Evans as 1000s of residents now don’t know if they have a job A catalogue of errors from @nhs_wte & royal colleges that can’t be described in any way other than incompetence & negligent disregard for UK residents

Pharmacy case finding for Blood Pressure a good idea✅ Pharmacies are paid £15 to take a BP My practice has one of these machines in the waiting room & the receptionist has a flow chart of what to do with the results This would pay for itself in weeks, but GPs had to pay for it

Pope Francis reflecting from hospital: April 24 2025 “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches… They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports… It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor. A privileged

As a professor of primary care, GP and a medical educator, I am trying to understand why it is possible for a physician assistant with two years training to see undifferentiated patients in general practice but a highly experienced doctor who is not trained as a GP cannot?
