If any politician from whatever party, or any journalist whatsoever, states, ‘We paid for your training’ to doctors: 1. The bulk of current medical graduates paid fees to study medicine in the UK. 2. Stop abusing very intelligent and dedicated people. Thank you.
This is utter and complete sh*te to the power sh*te. Infantile, unnecessary and patronising.

Haematology is regarded as one of the, ‘harder’ specialties, up there with nephrology and neurology apparently. I don’t think that is true. I think, in a strange way, a speciality chooses you and you make it work for you as much as you are able. Discuss.

Feeling in the mood for a full ceremonial military vibe. Me as good as it ever got as a full colonel in the army and honorary physician to her late Majesty. Bling city!
It took me 12 years from graduation plus two sets of PG exams to become a consultant. 7 years ‘experience’ on top of an unaccredited degree does not a specialist make…

To a dinner at Glasgow University Union this evening. All ex students from the late 70s/early to mid 80s. You don’t get to call senior lawyers, medics and academics by their student nicknames of ‘Faceache’, ‘Shagger’ and ‘Oxygen Thief’ or equivalent that often….
Eh?
@Ask_foradoctor Please pipe down and let the white psychology graduate explain to you how medicine is going to be done in the future.
@gmcuk A question for Jen Agbanoma: What is your plan when thousands of doctors refuse to supervise and train PA/AAs? Given that all their concerns are being totally ignored, have you factored in a mass refusal of doctors to take responsibility for these people? What is your plan B?
Heard from a consultant colleague. After the widely publicised case of the MPTS concluding that all histories and examinations conducted by PAs must be repeated by a supervising doctor, a few consultants have stopped supervising PAs as a consequence. 🙌 🙌 🙌
This.
The chance of me or any other doctor ever being jealous of a PA is nil. The chance of a PA having any insight into how poorly trained, arrogant, personally unaccountable and dangerous to patients they are? Nil as well. The PA experiment in the UK needs to stop.

@Roddy_Neilson Remind them that they pay for the training of every single 5-16 year old in this country, a great deal of 17-18 year olds, and nearly every single university student too. Then ask them why they think it’s OK to single out doctors.
@Roddy_Neilson And, the vast bulk of teaching & training is performed by NHS doctors who are not paid to provide it, while hospitals trouser the training budget.
@RhodaMiller14 That can't be right ! Only Schottish people are allowed to do that !

I was in Utrecht last week. It's unimaginable that a motorway once ran through the centre of the city. They removed it & have created a people friendly, accessible, liveable city centre. It was one of the best cities of my Europe trip. Imagine what Glasgow could do @ReplacetheM8
@ajrobertsshow @thismorning Fascinated to know what caused such a massive surge in refractory respiratory failure admissions to critical care units that went away when we vaccinated for this COVID that you say never existed 🤔
@Roddy_Neilson I think the hardest speciality is technology. Doesn't matter which speciality you go into, there is nothing harder than logging in to the flippin system to do any of it anywys. remembering passwords, opening notes trolleys or getting those computers on wheels to work.
@DocDoLi @Roddy_Neilson I know the team at Ninewells invest a huge amount of time to teaching the Haematology/ Transfusion module. I always hear that they have really good feedback from the students. They also occasionally mention my short blood grouping practical......
@RichGra11892932 Cholera Gonoreah Syphilis Typhoid Fever Chlamydia I can keep going...
@Roddy_Neilson I know. Took me a few months to get my head around watch and wait. Now I'm in a good place with it. I look forward to my 3 monthly appointments and being told I'll see you in another 3 months.
@Roddy_Neilson As someone with stage 3 Non hodgkins lymphoma currently on watch andcwait. I think haematology is top of the medical specialities, but then again, I might be biased.
