Another day, another example of someone using a term that is described as derogatory in multiple national documents... in a job advert! Come on, folks. We can do better than this.

It is disappointing, but perhaps predictable to have reached this point. SAS doctors have covered the industrial action of our consultant colleagues, our locally-employed colleagues, and our colleagues in training. Hopefully you can do the same for us now, folks. Solidarity.

Check your working, folks. "PERUSE before you Infuse" is now used in more than 20 Trusts. Use the check with my blessing. If anyone wants physical A4 posters, let me know.

It is not correct to say, as this article does, that junior doctors are the only staff group in dispute with the Government. SAS doctors and GPs are both still in dispute.

Really excited to support this fantastic initiative today with my good friends at @theSAScollect The ambition is to establish a network of skilled mentors to support the next generation of SAS leaders Such a privilege to work on this with @sas_sobauk and @JoanneYounge
Human beings are tribal in a way that is profoundly unhelpful. Make people uncertain for their futures, and even if they can see exactly who is doing this to them, they will still find someone else to blame. Yes this is a bloody subtweet.
Switch to another role 😊 Coordinating meeting of @AoMRC @NHSE_WTE @NHSEngland @TheBMA @gmcuk @theSAScollect @NHSEmployers @NHSResolution To discuss data/progress around MWRES action plan #Racism No, I never give up Thanks to all for attending. Onwards #NeverGiveUp
Good luck @dannyjnwong. We are losing another great talent.

@PJRose83 @RobJimFleming I am fully aware where the next phase of this is shifting to And am here for it too
@RobJimFleming @4NaanJeremy @emergingcannula Thanks, this is really helpful!
@leannehdu @JoanneYounge @gaswomancometh @RobJimFleming @theSAScollect Gradism is still a problem and needs to be challenged - people choose life and career paths for different reasons, being SAS is just an alternative choice enabling the practise of medicine and is valid and should be respected
@gaswomancometh @RobJimFleming @theSAScollect I didn’t want to be a consultant but I do grieve how I am treated about making that decision. I have a great job that is really appreciated by the people who count- patients- and work life balance was possible as my kids grew up. It was the right decision for me and my family.
@RobJimFleming Fairs. It’s an easy scapegoat but it’s the idiots in charge that are trying to promote every job other than doctor in the NHS. The IMG thing is a distraction.
For anyone who needs to hear it... Today is a new day, Full of opportunity. Notice the small things, Seek hope in the mundane, And remember, difficult feelings pass. Sending wishes to you all
Most IMGs come as fully registered Dr’s. There are stand-alone FY2 posts, but certainly not many. The problem is that even tho the foundation programme know the # of graduating students, the government refuses to fund posts while upping med school spots for clickbait headlines.
A reminder to anyone suggesting that more international medical graduates is the reason that there aren't enough foundation places, that you are incorrect. The data exists, and your immediate assumption that this might be the case without checking that data reflects a bias.
@RobJimFleming @Parody_RCGP @parthaskar Thankfully retired and no longer BMA rep but still involved in supporting staff and intermittently get contacted for advice particularly around SAS/LED. The large lump in middle of my forehead from the brick walls remains!
@RobJimFleming @Parody_RCGP @parthaskar It seems a never ending battle Rob and it shouldn’t be. Lost count of how many times I had this argument
@RobJimFleming @Parody_RCGP @parthaskar There’s way too many people who have invested way too much into this process but when you are in the system only then can you see how things are going downhill. We can only take what we get at this point.
@RobJimFleming @parthaskar @iDrSunny Unhelpful terminologies like ‘middle grade doctors’ are still rampant when describing SAS doctors- despite NHS employers having made it clear years ago that there is no such grade.
A fantastic #SASsix week. Monday we offered SAS colleagues with senior leadership role ambition/potential 1:1 coaching for leadership to secure it. Friday is our Pathfinder event for healthcare leaders and senior SAS doctors who wish to mentor SAS colleagues into leadership.
So happy to be back in Leeds today. The Leeds girl in me never left God's own country. #Yorkshire @drjpmark @emmachallans @jen82gilligan @HelenCrimlisk
@RobJimFleming @parthaskar The current system responsibilities say each trust ‘owns’ this and therefore as you say in reality no one does. In theory their commissioners should care, but a 15yr mantra of ‘outcome based commissioning’ means they too leave provider issues to providers 🤷♂️
@RobJimFleming @parthaskar Totally agree Rob, but we’re repeatedly told local freedom good, central interference bad. Subsidiarity actually means ‘at the right level’ so frankly mandating the use of the national SAS contracts and banning LED would be up there on my action list
@gaswomancometh @RobJimFleming @theSAScollect I recognise this occasionally ( for example when my colleagues are joyful about their CEA awards...), but it is best to look ahead, not dwell on what could have been. Be the best doctor you can be. Make a list of upsides of SAS life and pin up!
