13% of doctors are ‘very likely’ to move abroad in the next year, and another 17% ‘fairly likely’ to do so.
The GMC’s survey findings should raise loud alarm bells for government.
Read our press release on the new figures. bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. @VictoriaAtkins - please do the right thing.

Very good point @andyheeps. Where’s your tweet on this @RCObsGyn? We all know that O&G isn’t very different from the rest of the surgical specialties when it comes to this sort of thing 😔
Have I missed the @RCObsGyn position on the crucial Working Group on Sexual Misconduct in Surgery report? Dialogue and action is also needed in our field. #MeToo #Accountability

Literally 100s of women have shared their experiences
There are no doubt 100/ 1000s more who have not
If you wonder why women don't come forward about these issues- read this letter @thetimes

🌈 👶Today is #RainbowBabyDay, when we celebrate the lives of children born after a miscarriage, stillbirth or loss of a child.
For many, the day will be a reminder of grief. If you are struggling, please visit charities like @tommys and our website: ow.ly/3hPf50PqXrO

One of the most upsetting things I’ve ever read. Those poor babies, those poor families. Unimaginable horror. Also thinking of those colleagues who spoke out and were ignored or, worse, chastised. Whistleblowing remains impossible in the NHS. Please god may lessons be learned.
