@acutemedicine.bsky.social #SAMManchester worrying stat , 71% of AIM registrars say they feel their specialty not valued above GIM by others, how do we change this?

Not so far behind you in years but totally agree

Great gig last night at Halifax Piece Hall, Texas as great as ever

Long weekend in Prague in getting v v wet at @brucespringsteen.net concert!!!

Next long QT is most commonly missed abnormality, esp by the ecg machines auto report #samonthecam

Ps 90% of broad complex tachy is VT, so...... If in doubt treat as VT #samonthecam

BIG Whoop.

“Sure, it will be compatible with any modern IT kit” falls down fast when it meets NHS infrastructure.

For those not fully aware of NHS finances, you will have seen the austerity of the last 14 years. Where do you think they start first each year? Tech and support spending.

Serious question: Can somebody explain to me why the Signal boys loathe Europe so much? Exasperation with longstanding European refusal to spend more on defence really is not enough to explain this degree of hostility. What’s so bad about Europe? Too snobby? An obstacle to their libertarian dreams?

"Success will depend on how this massive change is managed and on creating a workable future relationship between ministers and NHS organisations."

Keir Starmer

The government's promised to reform the NHS, but “reform” is one of the trickiest words in the political lexicon.

It "usually just means cuts, and when done in a hurry there’s a risk of unintended consequences."

FactCheck reveals: England’s missing nurses These are the secret NHS files you weren’t supposed to see.

This is really important in the context of NHS budgets being cut across the hospital sector...many hospitals are short of the nurses needed to provide safe care: www.channel4.com/news/factche...

"Let everyone get measles so they will get immunity" (if they survive) is the same logic as "invade Canada to increase their security against invasion".

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

It might have been the time when I was involved with both DH and NHSE but found the latter far better informed, much easier to talk to, much keaner to learn and much more likely to try and evolve care

Please spend a second thinking of the thousands who work for nhse about to be unemployed. They don't deserve to be vilified @wesstreeting. The state of the NHS is not their fault. Please don't use them as a political punchbag. #nhse

At Heathrow, back in UK for a few days. It feels like a homecoming. I feel physically and mentally lighter, at a distance from the toxic environment in Washington. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me. O/c, the issues haven’t gone away, but it honestly feels different here. Let me explain 🧵

I had one of those, when I clicked through to the practice Web page the only option you could tick was "I don't want to do this", no option to actually book anything, nhsapp says I "decline", box ticked?

Rhetorical question I presume. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Pass it on.

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side
