"What I’ve seen recently is a blanket, reflexive condemnation of any doctor who moves into a senior leadership role." We need doctors to take on leadership roles—so why do we bring them down? David Oliver (also on Blue Sky) bmj.com/content/387/bm…

As usual, spot on David Oliver (also on Blue Sky) in this editorial. Fundamentally, encouraging a “same team” mentality will be more productive for all, most importantly patients.

So right. Wise words from @johnlauner. Healthcare professional should critique and apply the evidence available to provide personalised patient care. Adapt guidelines accordingly (and involve the patient), not follow blindly without thought. bmj.com/content/387/bm…

When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow, we gave our today. For those we couldn’t save and those who’ve gone before. #LestWeForget
