🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training. At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from Royal College of Anaesthetists



You can’t argue with these numbers from the Financial Times can you Steve Barclay ? ‘Nurses and doctors have seen a much steeper decline in real terms pay than the average British worker’ Just look at this, shameful:



"They're not asylum shoppers they're asylum seekers... That's not true." Krishnan Guru-Murthy challenges immigration minister Robert Jenrick after he claims "asylum shoppers" should seek sanctuary in the first safe country they reach under the "Refugee Convention".


The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to Steve Barclay They strike tomorrow This letter is incredible I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it Worth a read for you too Wes Streeting





Rob Galloway Dr Linda Dykes has moved to Bluesky Those specialties have the option of pushing back to the ED. We have nowhere to push back to, other than the ambulance ramp, or the waiting room. For too long, Trusts have become far too comfortable with the disproportionate concentration of risk in the ED #crowdingkills

Hate that critical incidents need to be declared, but respect organisations that recognise the shit they are in & take proper steps to address issues threatening patient safety. We had more patients waiting for longer in York this week York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS FT yet no incident declared.





Are you an NHS doctor working in emergency medicine? I would be really grateful if you can spare 15 minutes and please take part in my research as part of my Clinical Psychology Doctorate with the University of Bath: uniofbath.questionpro.eu/emergencymedic… Dr Jo Daniels
