Some hope perhaps

@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social
Looks like they wish to challenge Prof Leng’s interpretation of evidence

mededpublish.org/articles/15-20. @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social I think these authors need a lightbulb too

@sascollective.com Have your voices heard at the Leng review

Letter from Lech Wałęsa to Trump, March 2025. Should be machine reable.

This letter from Lech Wałęsa to Trump is deservedly being widely shared.

Is the patient association presenting any evidence to the Leng Review?

BMA says doctors are ‘devastated’ by the ‘appalling’ exam mistakes made by the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK  - BMA media centre - BMA Press release from the BMA

If you have been affected by the exam fiasco @rcphysicians.bsky.social
do contact the BMA for support

Unbelievable. 18 months after the exam sitting in question, the RCP have released this ⬇️

It’s a bit of a pattern, following the PA fiasco: RCP London finding yet another way to screw their own trainees.

People made life & job decisions based on those exam results THE YEAR BEFORE LAST 😡

Morning folks.

The Collective, of which I am a small part, are trying to make postgraduate careers better, making every medical career journey more viable, and improving retention of UK doctors.

Help us out. Like and repost?

Ooh I think @emhealthpsych.bsky.social would love those too

Maybe www.nactem.ac.uk would be able to offer advice

Vaccines work.
Masks work.
Lockdowns are sometimes necessary.
Access to affordable healthcare/medicines is a human right.
Immigrants are generally an asset.
Equality/Diversity/Inclusion policies are a good idea.
Abortion is sometimes needed to save life.
Keep saying these things. Truth is important.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

Looking forward to these

Thanks Ian- hope you are enjoying some festive fun

My big memory of Lossie was riding in a Thunderbirds 2 “plane” down a zip wire😂

They would need to go and get an actual degree in medicine to get the correct foundation, then the necessary FY and GPST jobs. It is a complex area, and the existing idea of PAs being “generalists” is at a basic level, not commensurate with being a trained GP

Irish equivalent of the GMC says it’s not the appropriate regulator for anyone other than Doctors

GMC had the same view in 2014 as the UK ‘Independent’ Regulator of Doctors

However it was ‘persuaded’ by UK Govts not long after Charlie Massey joined in 2016 🤔

TLAs should be banned!
Once had a puzzled med sec asking me who was now doing exercise tolerance test in ED. Of course it was ETT for airway

We certainly have found that peer support training/CISM has been welcome and have provided training to many in NHS Scotland

Thought for a minute you were hopping over to Arran for a home visit
