I'm a PGY6 doctor and I can't land a plastics job. Extremely positive interview feedback but outcompeted due to 200+ applicants per post If we're short on surgeons why am I having to fight so hard to do the job I love. Could I live my dream without the title?

This is ridiculous! We clearly have a significant cohort of consultant colleagues who are lazy and self-interested! Clearly patient care is of no interest to these folks

Excellent work and very important for the NHS and reducing burden of disease. I would love to see the same trial again but adding in an arm with mounjaro/ozempic. Surely this would be even more effective and help with long term prevention and costs.

Surely a result of not increasing training places especially at SHO and registrar level and creating artificial bottlenecks. Deliberately done!

This guy who was a so called golden boy by the organisation (not sure on what metric) got 8 month suspension for sexual harassment. The anaesthetist doctor got 6 months suspension for using wife’s Oyster card! Our disciplinary system is not fit for purpose!

With IO failing in pancreatic cancer, it has been well identified that TIGIT clearly plays a role in this disease. It is quite disheartening to see all these early TIGIT failures in more IO sensitive disease. fiercebiotech.com/biotech/bms-di…

I spoke to a hospital the other day with one one permanent oncologist in the whole hospital! I found this absolutely mental! It is not good enough for the local patient population!

111 is truly such a bad service, this is more box ticking than anything meaningful! So sad for patients. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

DAUK has taken the rare and serious step of writing to the Professional Standards Authority (Professional Standards Authority) regarding the MPTS decision on James Gilbert. We've urged the PSA to refer this case to the High Court, viewing the 8-month suspension as woefully inadequate.

This is insane. What is needed is to increase places for cmt and registrar training and limit entry into the UK for non-UK trained doctors if we have such ridiculous competition ratios. Wes Streeting MP

I find it odd to hear oncologists call themselves or colleagues Giants Rising stars Rock stars Most of the decline in cancer deaths is just due to smoking cessation. Many 'Giants' developed a drug with a 1 month PFS gain.

Surely there is a need to give GLP-1 agonists to new onset type 2 diabetics to bring remission. Surely this would save a lot of money and resources for the NHS.

From The Sunday Times, a young Afghan woman writes from Kabul: “Women’s voices are now deemed instruments of vice. Speaking is banned in public and singing or reading aloud is banned altogether, even in our own homes. “On the streets of Kabul there is no colour now. The Taliban
