Just had to drive across the central belt to Stirling. So many trees/branches down on roads but amazed at how quickly the majority have been cleared. Well done to those involved in the clean up.

The MMR vaccine does not cause autism. There is no need for further research on this. It's been done. Multiple times. At a cost of billions. Its a settled question.

The idea that you need to very academic to be a good doctor is false. The high entry requirements for medicine are there because it is a competitive degree. There are many excellent doctors who came into medicine by alternate routes. Good at passing exams does not = good doctor

So sorry to hear the sad news of the passing of Malcolm Donaldson. A remarkable person and superb paediatrician. He was an inspiration to many & a loss to @RCPCHScotland. Condolences to his wife Julia.

So a fair amount of discussion here. A few additional thoughts about the junior doctor pay offer: 1. FPR was never, ever going to be achievable in a single pay offer. If you ever believed that, then you’re a fucking idiot.

OK #MedTwitter, let’s talk about medical training, the NHS, and where Advanced Practice might fit in. This is my opinion from my experience as a paediatrician working in paediatrics and paeds ED, and based on my views of effective medical education. 🧵 1/

It’s primary FRCA exam week. For those who might need a boost, it’s 14yrs since I got this letter from @RCoANews. I’m now a college tutor. A bad result this wk isn’t the disaster you currently think it is.

Monthly net salary 2005 DR - £2,168 MP - £2,293 2023 DR - £2,108 MP - £4,939 This is why I support the #DoctorsStrike And last year over 7,000 doctors left the UK for better paid jobs overseas. If you want to save the NHS, you too should support the strike.
