Look at this gorgeous happy girl ❤️

I am so grateful for self rostering. My work-life balance is so much better. However, how do I know if I'm on holiday or a day off? It's hard to switch off.
It's the optimistic 3am meerkat look in the waiting room that shames me. I'm sorry you definitely won't be seen until the morning team arrives!

But why does it look so happy bouncing on its mitral trampoline?

We had an AMAZING doctors assistant when I was in cardiology. She took bloods, chased results, organised the appropriate investigations (that we wanted) through pathways and phone calls we didn't know about. All you'd ask for in a Physician Assistant.

Here's a video I made breaking down this CT scan of a 78-year-old woman who fell down a flight of stairs #FOAMed
Happy International Womens Day. Here's to the strong women. May we be them, may we raise them, may we help them rise up, may we love them. @nktgill #InternationalWomensDay
I thought I wouldn't enjoy paeds ED but yet again I'm wrong. It's so SATISFYING! Wheel in ear? Pop. Go home. Dislocated knee? Pop. Go home....
🧵/ The government doesn’t want you to know it, but it is currently conducting a massive, un-evidenced, cost-cutting experiment in the NHS, replacing doctors with so-called physician associates. 1/n theguardian.com/society/2024/j…
1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: So we need to talk about NHS pay. NEW shocking [post DDRB] data just in 4/1/24 👇 (SPOILER: Not "fair & reasonable") We need to fix pay/retention to fix waiting lists- increasingly clear next GE will won/lost on NHS Please read whole 🧵 & share widely/RT
'We haven't got enough money to spend £2 billion a year paying doctors, but we can find £8 billion a year to cut a tax that's only paid by the richest 4%.' @BenKentish points out the flaw in the government's claim that the UK 'can't afford' a pay rise for junior doctors.
So glad I have time off until New Year 🙄 Feel absolutely dreadful. Covid hasn't gone away. Very grateful for all the vaccinations.
Merry Christmas from the night shift 🎄

I may be the only sad bugger but I LOVE things like this! Makes me smile so much 😁
Pleased to say there is a full page feature about me in my Alumini magazine. Headline- It's Ok to Take an Unusual Route. We don't always know what we want to be at all stages of our lives, but that's OK. We grow, we change and we learn. Keep learning! issuu.com/universityofsu…
Had one of those ED shifts last night where I did STUFF for the first time that scared me. Thankful for the very supportive consultants that helped me through. But I'm still worried. There's so much big STUFF to learn and practice. Any advice? The despair is real!
Ever have one of those days where you do ALL THE LEARNING with the BEST team? Haven't had one in a while but THIS is why we do this job. Never stop learning. Trying to climb the slope of enlightenment.
This is my hill! A UK holiday is a HOLIDAY.

Have to admit - had amazing female ED consultants and lots of female ED regs who inspired me so much, who I saw myself in and who were absolute career goals 🥹 Same with paediatrics and the amazing GOSH team 🐝
The more that female foundation doctors see of senior female doctors during placements, the more likely they are to choose to train in that specialty, research has found @TheIFS bmj.com/content/385/bm…
The way this reads is that a frail delirious patient was intubated. And then some stuff happened
ICU Stories: 70 yo patient, nursing home resident, w hx of dementia / atrial flutter (on anticoag) / hypothyroidism / gout / decub ulcers (among others) is brought to the ED for "altered mental status" and right gaze deviation. Afebrile, normotensive, hr 80s, sat 96% on room air
@IM_Crit_ American medicine is the Wild West. A great Geriatric Medicine teaching case…but not for the reasons you have mentioned.
There are times when all your tests are normal but there’s still something wrong. Because there are things about health and humans we still don’t know or understand. Turns out medicine is imperfect. Just like people.
It’s Friday … @brooksrunning #letsrunthere Have a great weekend 👊🏻
IMHO “we will pay you accurately and on time” is an absolute bare minimum to avoid being in breach of contract, not being touted as an “improvement” being made by a government desperate for Ws. This isn’t good enough.
The NHS is setting out measures to improve the working lives of postgraduate doctors. These include improving payroll accuracy, reducing admin burden and enhancing choice and flexibility with rotas. england.nhs.uk/publication/im…
This is simply unbelievable. The way the Tories go on about it you’d think we spend all our money on the sick and unemployed But check out the stats! We should be paying much more… Near bottom for incapacity benefit
If you ever had a “move back in with your parents” stage, you have no business judging homeless people. The only difference between you and them is you were privileged enough to have a fallback.
This, 100x over.
I’m gonna explain one more time. For those who say people on benefits are scroungers. My story. I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, we had a good life, he died. Our youngest was 3yr, I couldn’t afford childcare, we were grieving, I was forced onto benefits. Not asking for…

So, and I mean this respectfully, what in gods name is the point of a PA? Who is this role trying to help? Because it’s certainly not me, and struggling to see how it’s patients either.
A fitness to practise tribunal (MPTS) determines that a PA's history should be repeated by a doctor and a PA's examination should be repeated by a doctor too. DAUK's report in Pulse explains more 👇 pulsetoday.co.uk/analysis/gmc-c…
Thread on the beauty of wildlife 🧵 1. When it’s cold enough to see the melody
Neonatology jobs Cardiology jobs Jobs trained doctors would give anything for Jobs requiring high levels of skill sets to keep the public safe I repeat @NHSE_WTE have lost control & it’s now a Wild West With no Sheriff This is not fair on the public @NHSEmployer
Meanwhile, @gmcuk will not only allow other doctors to spread barefaced lies and misinformation about vaccines, but they will actively defend this position in court. Absolutely shameful, yet we (as registered doctors) have no choice but to pay for this circus.

I’ve seen two tweets today arguing that nurses can get on an ambulance and operate with equivalency to a paramedic with the “right training”. Two things: 1. Yes they can! The “right training” is a paramedic science degree 2. What is the obsession with doing each others’ jobs?
