With the demise of NHS England, what will happen to Health Education England?
Will we see local PG organisations?
Maybe a return to local recruitment to medical training?
Local decisions on training numbers? End of bottle necks in career progress?
Letโ€™s remember what worked well in the past

Endless 'Africa': Toto's Hit Plays on Continuous Loop in African Desert Sound Installation An artist has created a sound installation in the Namib Desert that plays Toto's "Africa" on a continuous loop using solar batteries.

One of my favourite art works. I wonder is this installation still
playing after 6 years. Has anyone visited or is it making music alone in the desert? ๐Ÿ’–https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/toto-africa-loop-african-desert-sound-installation-778767

Feel much better today as I just cleared out all the bots and con artists.
Farewell US military hunky men with dogs, pick up trucks and a so so white smile.
Farewell young women with plastic faces and plastic breasts.
Now I am reading posts of interest and with something to say.

TY for all you do, one step at a time is all you can do. The public knows that staff are doing their best. Iโ€™m astonished that people are putting themselves at risk and still turn up to work in NHS. #Gratitude

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

Itโ€™s okay to pause. You can say no. Your best is enough. Donโ€™t worry about being perfect there is no such thing as perfect. You are worthy of peace. Writing on four different ball balls on a green background picture by joyfulsmolthings

Itโ€™s ok to pause and breathe, even when the season feels busy. Among all the giving, donโ€™t forget to give yourself kindness and care. ๐Ÿงก

Street art showing Gisele Pelicot looking badass with the phrase written next to her โ€œthe shame must switch sidesโ€ in French

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

Just sent this on to my sibling. A constant comment is how many HCP have no real understanding how time consuming the tasks involved with managing illness can be. Thank you

My son (qualified mechanic) says if you are needing to use the charger your battery is either: losing charge somewhere and you need to find out why
Or: battery is just old and youโ€™d be better off just replacing it
