Once again, for those not already aware, clinical academics contribute to both the health and wealth of the UK. We need to be supporting them and growing their number not hastening their extinction.
#ClinicalAcademicCrisis
There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9

As expected, Royal College of Physicians rejects the proposal that GMC should retain a right of appeal. Williams review called for this to be removed, this was promised, and that promise must be kept.

Great to see long term commitment @RCPhysicians.
Respect, fair access to development, recognition and progression.
#SASsix
First (of many) Royal Colleges to walk the talk.
The pace of the walk is increasing, should be increasing.

Why can't you use direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with mechanical valves (MVs)?
DOACs have been one of the most important advances in my career. And yet, the presence of a MV is one of the few contraindications.
The reason highlights the unique nature of thrombus formation in those with a MV and provides insights into the evolution of human hemostasis.

Hospitals know that poor patient flow is caused by beds being too full. They also know that when they make the beds less full, flow improves. But they treat bed fullness as a thing that just 'happens'. We need an approach to flow that addresses the *causes* of bed fullness.
