I attended a course, where the organiser asked everyone to write down their training no. She could claim back the 💷 back from HEE directly (in one go). Instead of everyone paying upfront and attempting individual claims later through supervisors and PGME depts to HEE.✊

Paediatrics is absolutely overwhelmed currently with a huge increase in ED attendance and inpatient admissions. Our teams everywhere are working over and above every shift. It’s easy to be cross/short tempered/rude.. please actively be kind… it makes the difference 🙏🏻❤️❤️
