Yet another school study demonstrating that ventilation & air filtration reduce Covid transmission:

▪️There was a statistically significant correlation between CO₂ levels ≥1,000ppm & Covid cases.

▪️Air filters decreased incidence of Covid cases.

The idea “every aspect of the support for disabled people” must “help people get into work” is deeply grim from Labour. Benefits and the NHS don’t exist to turn disabled people into economic productively units. They are to help us live well. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

It all adds up to a pretty glum picture for F2s without training posts: unclear that the NHS is offering them a viable alternative or that things will be better in a year's time. So Oz/NZ may beckon for many - and possibly for the long-term. A total failure of workforce planning.

has caused this. Have increased medical school numbers created a bulge in F2s this year but with no additional CT1/ST1 roles for them to move into? Greater use of PAs may be contributing but trusts cutting back on agency use seems more significant - and likely to get worse. 2/3

It seems to me something has fundamentally shifted in the 'market' for doctors over the last few months. F2s left without training places, but few clinical fellow jobs and even fewer locums meaning an F3 year is no longer viable for many. Not sure I fully understand what 1/3

Here's the full story on Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum's tribunal ruling.

Anyone else that's been refused info by WCs over the last 2.5 years because of the EA investigation take note.

PS: I have been on a wait list for ‘talking therapies’ for 6mths, *after* initial wait & MH services assessing/identifying my need. So many people have BOTH #disability / #illness AND #MentalHealth problems. Cutting #PIP will push more ppl over the edge.

The solution to our mental health crisis isn't cutting disability payments, worsening the lives of the most vulnerable, but tacking social determinants & funding effective psycho-social interventions. We can't cut, medicate & diagnose our way out of this.

Govt will 24/7 snoop on the bank accounts of recipients of benefits & state pension.

Millions of old, sick, infirm, poor won't have financial privacy, even when no suspicion of fraud.

Won't snoop on the accounts of crooks, tax abusers, money launderers.

UN compiles evidence-based report on UK govt's 7-year failure to progress disability rights. Govt then strongly rejects the findings. But click on the DNS links in the govt response and you'll see every one of its arguments is undermined by... facts.

No this isn't rogue traders it is apparently the only way a UK Judge can be held to account as the system ignores and protects. Kudos to BBC News (UK)

It is important to point out that in the Dr Toheed case the EAT has not progressed the appeal on bias even after 2 years.

In McDermott the EAT refused to remit the actual whistleblowing case to a new Tribunal only the cost application. I wrote about it

An uncomfortable weekend for those that run employment tribunals. Well done BBC News (UK) !

This article must also be a worry for those concerned about corruption and cover up in this country.

The problem with protocol based medical model is that it offers little flexibility, outsources clinical acumen to a pathway and lacks integration of what the patient wants.

How do you support workers doing their best to prevent sickness and deaths due to BSL 3 pathogen at work, where their employer refusing to do legal duty and talking nonsense to them.
PS this is about the biggest OHS sickness, death+ disabling event+ rather urgent

Today Margate residents stopped the Home Office from taking 22 asylum seekers from a local “contingency accommodation” to the Bibby Stockholm barge. Incredible “unity in community” indeed ❤️

GMC is no longer fit to practice
This has been demonstrated by multiple failures
Failure to deal with genuinely unsafe Drs spreading misinformation
Failure to deal with racism, sexism & abuse of power
Ignoring Drs concerns over PA/AA regulation
Banning Drs who are safe to work

Govt cut off nose to spite face - or rather, #JuniorDoctors
