I see membership of @TheBMA as essential & don’t resent these subs I also think the 190,000 members won’t resent £2 of their annual fee being donated to @AnaesUnited legal case against @gmcuk attempting to ensure proper, safe regulation of associates’ scope RT if you agree🙏
#TIVA users: any magic recipes to reduce post op shivering? Basic things are being done already: warming mattress, warm fluids, etc. Tympanic temps being monitored and within normal limits. #MedTwitter #anaesthetists @SIVAnaesthesia @SIVATrainees
I have the v responsible task of buying a new bean-to-cup coffee machine for our anaesthetic department. Anybody got any recommendations? Criteria include: no fresh milk container (it'll end up disgusting), easy to clean, robust, makes nice coffee. #MedTwitter #CoffeeLovers
Not everyone wants to be a line manager… Yet often the only way to progress at work is through managing more. It forces people into roles they’re not good at and can result in a rubbish culture. What about promotions and pay rises just for being good at the actual job?
Consultant BMA members: The referendum for the pay deal has reached your inboxes. In the last ballot 38% of us didn’t bother voting for something that will affect the rest of our lives. Don’t be that person. Simply search your overflowing inbox for the email circled, then…
It could be Game Over for national recruitment, following the Department of Business and Trade decision that, in their view, ANRO must comply with Employment Agency legislation schoolofanaesthesia.co.uk/news/game-over…
‘When you are a grown up’, putting on your ‘big girl/boy’ pants when referring to becoming more senior. Junior doctor term on its way out. Doctors are already grown up. Infantilisation in language use can be modified. Today’s thought for the day! What other phrases are similar?
"Anesthesia did not become safe by magic... I’ll never forget how much we owe to the people who aren’t in the room." "The Crowd That Isn't There", by Dr. Daniel Sessler #humanisminmedicine #narrativemedicine #patientsafety @APSForg @iars360 buff.ly/480bitX
*Five hundred and sixty two* English pounds to renew my Royal College subscription for the upcoming year. Can any anaesthetists of Twitter convince me that this is any way good value, or should I finally cancel this? Are there any potential downsides to not being a member?
It's fascinating how regulatory bodies sometimes fail to consider the possibility of the erosion of their authority. In the context of other regulatory issues in healthcare, I suspect these new rules will be treated with a similar level of seriousness as Liz Truss' premiership.

NEW: So NHS Digital today updated quarterly pay data 👇 Been waiting on this (1) inform how I am personally voting in the referendum (2) will be used to update my pay charts (version 3 released 1/10/23- now expired) Initial thought is my opinion DDRB 23/4 was right 👎. 🧵soon!
‘Dr’ Fox worked as a doctor for at most 8 years, having been born in 1961, graduating at the earliest in 1984, and becoming an MP in 1992. He now earns £87,000 as an MP and £434,800 in outside earnings and donations. Why does he expect junior doctors to settle for £15/hour?

Doctors pay dispute is only one, though totemic & overwhelming, of many serious issues affecting working conditions & unattractiveness of the NHS to doctors. Once started listing issues to express problems doctors face: XVI Theses on UK Postgraduate Doctors’ Discontent😬

Reflecting on the pay offer that the BMA have put forward to the consultant body for a vote today, following attending the BMA webinar this evening. My thoughts (and take with as many pinches of salt as you wish - I'm no more well-informed than anyone else): 1/
