Statement on the medical model of training This statement was produced by executive members of the BMA medical academic staff committee, which represents all medically qualified teachers and research workers

While it's sometimes claimed that PAs and AAs are trained according to a 'medical model', in a new statement the BMA medical academic staff committee argue this terminology is outdated and misleading.

Also, The Minecraft Movie is really something 😆 @CameronHouseHotel

Away for a few days and visited Ardkinglas Estate - beautiful clear Kinglas Water, 'Europe's Mightiest Tree,' old mill and The Gruffalo!

I didn't stop for pics today, but it was a lovely day to be out on the road with H@H and not cooped up in the ward! #H@H #hospital@home

@gerisoc.bsky.social I'm trying to sign up for the e-Learning modules, but how do I actually start the programme? No button on the Events and CPD page.

Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Been there (and still am to some degree!) Look after yourself and hope you feel better soon ❤️

Callendar Park, fun on their adventure trail and playpark.

Excitement at the grandparent's house this weekend as several men with chainsaws try to sort out the fallout of Storm Eowyn!

A view up Edinburgh's Royal Mile, with old buildings.

Dynamic Earth museum with Arthur's Seat in the background.

Had a trip down the Royal Mile to Dynamic Earth today. Great day out #edinburgh #HalfTerm

I've been doing front door frailty input. Sad to think some people see it like that. I do find most people are keen to get home if it's possible! But so many needing more social care.

A knotted duvet cover in a laundry basket.

Oh my God. This is boring, but my tumble dryer has just wound my duvet into some kind of impossible knot. I've been here ages 😩 Help!

A stained glass window depicting the winged staff and serpent symbol.

Lovely lunch today in The Dome, Edinburgh - preciously site of the Physician's Hall. #TheDome

The UK hospital at home society is looking for new members of the committee if you feel you have something to say on developments of HAH (virtual wards) why not apply?? www.hospitalathome.org.uk/elections2025

People, please note this is only for England, which it doesn't state until the end! Sorry Shelagh!

I'm hiding indoors today, watching my garden fences get more and more lopsided 🫣 #stormeowyn

Activated almonds and alkalised water 😂
Wonder how many of these things are available in Asda 🤔

I phoned IT last month as the Internet connection on my office PC kept randomly dropping. They made some minor change, replaced a wire. Emailed today to ask if problem sorted, I cautiously replied it had been ok. Ticket closed. Internet immediately disappeared again 🙄😆

Ah! That feeling when you can breathe clearly again and have a bit of energy back 🤩💪 Have cleared the Xmas decs and getting the house less of a pigsty, back to work tomorrow.

It’s very Monday indeed.

Yeugh, it's been a bad week after I picked up a viral bug (COVID negative, but there's plenty more floating around at present!) Been absolutely floored. Think I'll start 2025 next week 😆 Keep safe folks .

I keep getting phone calls offering me money off my O2/3/other service phone bill, when I'm not even with those companies!

Thanks! Trying to track down my favs and some are missing, but see plenty of names here 🙂

Merry Christmas everyone! Especially those holding the fort in the hospitals, care homes and other essential jobs! ❤️🎄🥂

Hi everyone! Seeing an increasing amount of yuck on the other place so going to give this a try! 👋
