Dear 🇬🇧,

The current state of UK medicine - a brief 🧵

Exactly 1 week ago, I felt I had no choice but to resign from giving a keynote speech at this year's Royal College of Physicians annual conference.

The behaviour of the College leadership left me no choice. 1/n

twitter.com/doctor_oxford/…

I was deeply honoured to be invited to be a keynote speaker at this year's Royal College of Physicians annual conference.

But after last night's #RCPEGM I can no longer, in all conscience, give my speech. I feel duty bound to share in public my reasons why.

📣 All health professionals should talk about physical activity with patients 🏃‍♀️ 🗣

How far and wide can we share this NEW #Infographic ? 👀
