Seriously people - look at what's happening in terms of GDP/capita (which is what ultimately matters for our living standards). This is a proper recession just being hidden by having more people - GDP/capita declined 0.7 per cent in 2023 with falls in every single quarter

5 years on since I did my The Royal College of Radiologists SURF and I’m now back in the lab King's College NHS putting to use all the techniques and skills I learnt to look at immunometabolism in liver failure. A great programme that I cannot recommend highly enough!

I hadn’t realised this till pointed out, but it’s really uncommon that I get to see bosses do their thing with decades of experience behind them. Sure you learn lots by doing, but watching those much more experienced is equally important.

Change.

So true! Shame to miss out on great learning opportunities when you don’t have hundreds of pounds to shell out, and study leave budgets ever tighter 😢

This is an absolute outrage. New doctors graduating without jobs available, despite being told so often that we don’t have enough doctors. It is unacceptable that these doctors through a random number generator are assigned somewhere in the UK and 6 weeks out have no idea where.

Never even liked tennis anyway.

And so it begins… I have not missed this one bit.

Finishing the year on a high! Really happy to have been awarded funding by Intensive Care Society 💙. Excited to carry on with MarkMcPhail and The Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies King's Critical Care looking at how we can reverse immunoparaesis and prevent sepsis in the sickest liver patients.

Well said Dr Robert Laurenson “nor should we be leaving unchallenged the comforting lies that there will be “supervision" particularly when the doublethink of 'autonomous but dependent' is the leading pitch from universities, GMC, and NHS Employers” 💯 underpinned by doublethink

Excited to have an abstract accepted for ISICEM in Brussels in March. If anyone else is going to be there let me know as would be great to catch up!

I'm running the Brighton Marathon tomorrow for the Institute for Cancer Vaccines and Immunotherapy. So many cancers have been transformed by immunotherapy, but most importantly to me my Uncle's metastatic melanoma. Any donations would be appreciated! justgiving.com/page/joewilson…

As our national colleagues Resident Doctors held constructive talks with Wes Streeting to try avert strike action next week, And in the context of the The Leng review outputs, Here’s a reminder of the perverse disparity the current NHS pay structure produces here in the capital.👇🏼

This is fucking magnificent sport, absolutely crackers
