Survived Day 1 as a Consultant- thanks RBH Acute Medical Unit team for being awesome as ever and helping me settle in!

Micro Twitter- talk to me about where I can go to learn more about antibiotic choice and spectrums of action? I feel like I just blindly follow the MicroGuide but I’d like to understand what I’m doing and why better…(File under things to put on my PDP!)

This is my 6th year at C4 News FactCheck and every winter England’s NHS has been in crisis. So when I started looking at the latest stats I was expecting to do a story about history repeating itself. But it’s not repeating. 2022 was *so* much worse. I can prove it in one graph.🧵

Juniors- know your rights around striking and know that my consultant colleagues and I are behind you. Especially those of us that stood on the picket lines in 2016 and are now on the other side. #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Haven’t had Sunday Evening Dread for a while, but I’m ready to cover my junior doctor colleagues. Think I can still do it! I hope the government sees sense and negotiates in good faith to give you, and all HCPs, what you deserve. #JuniorDoctorsStrike #PayRestoration

I have totally screwed my self over today. 8am-11pm at work as strike cover (didn’t twig till I was already committed) and now there is a bloody rail replacement bus home.

I think Prof Petrie is in for some robust discussion in the later debate section of #BGSConf with his opinions about poly pharmacy! British Geriatrics Society

I’m going to be referring a lot more patients to my local vascular service now! Thanks for the thoughtful presentations from Mr Meecham and Mr Davies at British Geriatrics Society #BGSConf

The Bristol curriculum sounds fantastic! I like book club idea. I’m not an educationalist per say but these talks definitely made me think about how I can role model my love of Geriatics to juniors and students! #BGSConf

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

I’m sure many consultants feel their salary is more than adequate. Cool! Please give up 2 days worth to support future colleagues taking on a job that is only getting harder, saddled with staggering student debt and struggling to afford a starter home a decade into their careers.

Joining my colleagues across the Thames Valley at the #ConsultantStrike. A good turn out but I’d love to see more of us standing up for #PayRestoration to #FixConsultantPay for our current and future colleagues.

Went to my local picket line today and ended up on the local news! Hopefully I did ok! BMA Consultants The BMA #FixConsultantPay

Showing more colleagues this today!
