Given all the cr*p going on in the world, pinning this blankie out for blocking felt deliciously defiant, as if to say- no, we will not be invisible. #PrideMonth #allyship #crochet ✊️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Yet again, I absolutely loathe my job. Honestly I wonder why I continue to be a doctor when it causes more distress than joy.

Fewer than 10 per cent of physician associates are regulated Fewer than 10 per cent of physician associates (PA) are regulated, the Telegraph can reveal.

Fewer than 10 per cent of physician associates (PA) are regulated at present.

We were told the purpose of regulation was to impose standards and accountability. But that should be now, not in 2027
