Can I be nurse of the year? Somehow, I thought not.
@DrEilidhMaria The GMC survey is also used as a tool to silence, threaten and bully doctors - it's not fit for purpose. Where there are concerns raised, departments under question lead the investigations and essentially mark their own homework.
Fantastic point by @DrEilidhMaria today on the point of PAs. We need to talk about it being inappropriate for them to cover doctors’ *duties*, not be on doctors’ “rotas”. The powers that be just say “it’s not a rota” and call it by another name. Language is important! #JDConf24
What we might have is: - a shortage of people willing to work in certain areas in certain hospitals (so make it less shit) - potentially a national shortage of consultants (so make more training places especially at a higher level) - less doctors per head = less ‘employed’…

@DrEilidhMaria This post did lead to a top tier twitter interaction though. One of my favourite twitter doctors explains the physiology behind the decision to give furosemide followed by an utterly surreal conversation with a cardiac nurse who disagrees.
@DrEilidhMaria They used to exist years ago when we had nightingale wards. However, in places with four or six bedded bays, it was just the bay that was single sex where possible, not the whole ward. Doubt anywhere still has the 20+ bed areas we used to have 30 years ago.
@DrEilidhMaria From his perspective, drugs might as well be magic. "Diuretics reduce your blood pressure, silly!" "What is the mechanism of action, and why is their BP so low?" "It reduces BP, and their BP must be low because... too much diuretic!"
One thing I’ve learnt from this tweet is that folk don’t know the difference between a hospital bay and a ward.
I have been in about 15 hospitals across the UK and I have never, ever seen a female only hospital ward. So this is a truly bizarre statement to make. Even obs and gynae isn’t distinctly for XX.
@DrEilidhMaria I haven't seen single sex wards since Nightingale wards were a thing, because they are divided by specialty. As you say, not even O&G strictly speaking
@DrEilidhMaria Find it difficult to believe that >20 years since I stood my ground, argued the case, standing advocate to the septic, delirious,, elderly patient, who’d lived their adult life as a woman to Not be put on a male ward, that this is an issue for politicians to find votes.
@DrEilidhMaria It’s actually an issue that doesn’t need policy on. Site/ bed management staff should, & do, deal with these issues frequently. Yes, it’s a case of using side rooms when available, which are at a premium.
@DrEilidhMaria Just got around to watching the clip. He could have easily avoided answering that, he dove straight into it, actually offering an opinion he wasn’t asked for. Rightly needs to be safe spaces for “women & girls” as he says, but they’re not the only ones who are vulnerable.
@DrEilidhMaria Ok, so I agree. Haven’t seen a single sex ‘Ward’ for years, previously at JCUH had Male and Female AAU, now mixed, but bay areas are always single sex/ besides A&E etc which are more often cubicles. I agree you’d think he would know and be able to communicate that clearly.
@DrEilidhMaria Also I hope it came across that I was just joking 😊
@DrEilidhMaria I wonder if trans men will be banned from men's wards? As a transsexual I can't say I'm looking forward to receiving treatment. Before I go, I'll just say, I've never received anything other than professional treatment from courteous staff.
As a doctor, the most important skill to have is that of being a “riskatician”. It’s not a word in any dictionary and so most people realise its importance. It’s about deciding when not to investigate or treat because the risks are greater than the benefits both on an…
Abolish Physician Assistants. Scrap ARRS funding. Use savings to invest in doctors + nurses as core clinical staff. Stop pretending anyone can be a GP. Revamp doctor training programmes. Have a long term NHS workforce vision. It’s not rocket science. @wesstreeting
