Asking for a freind....is a colonoscopy 'intimate care'? Have only ever had them preformed by men (and not a problem for me I'm just musing over the NHS Constitution changes)
“Be open minded about medicine and realise that you’re not treating the disease, you’re treating the patient.” Consultant neuroradiologist Ian Turnbull talks about why he was determined to remain involved in training doctors despite retiring bmj.com/content/385/bm…
Who knows what the NHS Constitution is and what's in it?
I'd like my CT scan results now please....
Lots of noise about the NHS Constitution. Just for clarity the NHS routinely, in fact daily, fails to meet existing principles in the constitution. It is a document so distant from the reality of busy medical wards that it's value is minimal:
Is it okay to refer to someone's medical school as their university? I.e my friend went to Birmingham med school but could I say she went to Birmingham University to study medicine. Or is that wrong/annoying?

Junior Doctor parents: *Unpaid parental leave* is a thing worth knowing about. Up to 4 weeks off/yr (total of 18 until the child is 18) This is a statutory right but the timing of the leave needs to be negotiated with your employer

The @guardian reports that a review of mandatory training is "one of a series of measures @NHSEngland is set to unveil intended to improve the working lives of its...workforce" and yet last week they nearly closed @NHSPracHealth to secondary care?!?

So sad to hear news of the death of Rhona MacDonald. I enjoyed working with and talking to her when she was editor at BMJ Career Focus. Here is the link to Rhona’s Rules still true today bmj.com/content/329/74…
Both this story on the infected blood scandal and this File on 4 episode on pneumoconiosis research touch on how standards of consent were very different in the past. Would be very interested in yours thoughts #MedTwitter bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

During this limbo time between having a CT scan and getting the results I convince myself that every 'symptom' = cancer. My leg felt a bit numb this morning so that's obviously cancer 🫣 #bowelcancer

@Abi_Rimmer @DrDMcGregor Agreed, it’s defo intimate. philosophically we could debate why a stoma isn’t. Just semantics because you already have right to ask (you can ask for anything),and the right to withdraw consent without giving a reason..but no right to have person of your preferred gender doing it
@Abi_Rimmer It’s a potential health and safety issue. How on earth we can expect staff to work 12+ hour shifts with no access to a cooked meal is incredible…staff have to call out for a takeaway delivery but then still no where decent to eat it
@Abi_Rimmer Thank you! Generally well. But there are always knock on affects from treatment aren't there? One of which seems fixable .... two small hernias at scar sites; hopefully to be patched up post a good CT scan result. I am keeping fingers crossed for your result! Take care.
@Abi_Rimmer So the document says “examination of the breasts, genitals or rectum” so it’s a bit murky. Technically it’s an examination of sorts. There seems to be no clarification regarding whether procedures count. But important to recognise that a request does not necessarily mean outcome
@Abi_Rimmer And we generally accommodate wherever possible. Emergency and inpatient scenarios often not possible and these proposed changes will be unlikely to change that
@Abi_Rimmer There will be many situations where it is simply not practicable. There will be delays to care in many instances, so patients will need to make that decision themselves. Also important to note that we already manage these situations. Some patients do ask this already
@Abi_Rimmer Hey Abi. How are you doing? I hope things are good, and your youngster thriving. Our treatments are still near mirroring each other. I am waiting for mine too! Best wishes.
@Abi_Rimmer I think they try to have a mixed sex team for every colonoscopy and similar things anyway.
@Abi_Rimmer Interesting question. I’ve only had one colonoscopy by a fab male consultant. Female nurses present. Having a skilled and empathetic practitioner more important for me. Does the new guidance distinguish between “care” and clinical procedures?
@Abi_Rimmer ‘Intimate care’ is washing, toiletting, dressing etc nursing/auxillary care, whereas colonoscopy is a procedure (although it is care that is intimate) The colonoscopy isn’t, but if someone helped you get cleaned up afterwards that would count if that makes sense?
@Abi_Rimmer Very good question. Personally I would say yes. Like many choices within a constrained system, it may be a trade-off between “happy for anyone to do it = gets done relatively soon” vs “I would prefer a female to do it = longer wait”.
@Abi_Rimmer Few trusts take any notice of it. The latest update is interesting considering all the unregulated staff doing roles beyond their training whether HCA or PA, or other assistants.
@Abi_Rimmer Exactly. My job involves “intimate care” &of course everyone is allowed to decline care. Often emergency situations where I’m senior clinician there is a clash of priorities for pt. Is the answer to take men off labour ward or have “biological women” around to take over any time?
@ShaunLintern most staff i work with would not even be aware of its existence
Don’t you love it when a vision for something a tiny bit better finally comes to fruition? Just a small selection of our beautiful new wallpaper from Elegant Clutter (insta @ elegantclutter_art ) Our unit wasn’t blessed with windows - I am so pleased with this 🙂
@Abi_Rimmer Consensus seems to be: fine unless it’s London
@Abi_Rimmer Totally fine. I say I went to Nottingham University (rather than med school)
@doctorhelgi @Abi_Rimmer Londoner pre-merger (just). Might occ admit to going to Bart’s and the London but never QMUL. Horrific thought 😂
