This, not for the first time, is the kind of appalling abuse that @DrJessTaylor receives unremittingly.
The bit I'm struggling with is how, when faced with evidence of such violent misogyny the GMC (or any regulatory body inc the NMC or HCPC) only issues a 2 year public warning?
I debated talking about this at all, but I am sick of always staying quiet about the abuse I am subjected to for my work.
GMC have issued a 2 year public warning to Dr Ahmed Huda for posting on social media that I need to be ‘fcked in the a-se with a barbed pole’. He still hasnt actually apologised to me; and still works as a psychiatrist in the NHS.

Interesting article but most of solutions have been around for 20 years,not least in Kerr report I commissioned including shift to community,centralisation where merited and separation of elective.Would add prevention and digital(as Streeting)but private bound to be marginal here
New. Reform of the NHS in Scotland has been much discussed, but despite warnings from @AuditorGenScot and others, the pace of change has seemed glacial. What's going on? A subject I explore today in a column for @heraldscotland

Fantastic news @ann_gow. Absolutely delighted to see this well deserved recognition of commitment to the nursing profession and public service

Seasonal reminder of critical importance If you diagnose a #carehome resident with an infectious respiratory virus on day 1 or 2 in hospital you MUST inform the #carehome ☎️ There is no magic system to alert them otherwise #datasaveslives #sharingcriticalresults #partnersincare

Thank you Ian. As WASPI myself I am shocked at this announcement 😲
I hope women continue to fight. @LesleyTBaird @cathcooney @mandynetwork @CllrCDavidson @
An utterly shameful and immoral position from a Labour Government to deny women hit by state pension injustice, @WASPI_Campaign @AnasSarwar @jackiebmsp embarrassing for party members who thought it undeniable @LizKendallMP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czr3…

One thing I have learned from standing for RCN council: the guidance is poor & governance unclear.
Previous council members have rejected requests for improvement.
Why would longstanding leaders want to make it harder for new members to stand?
Vote for change. Vote for better.

Pleased to share all our hard work from the Cardiology Day Unit team at Crosshouse Hospital. Huge team effort from all involved. Let's not stop here 👏 🙌

My third priority, if elected to RCN council for Scotland, is elevating the status of our profession.
We should be proud of our profession, expect high standards for our patients and demand respect for our skilled, specialist and safety critical roles.
Voting opens Oct 14th!

The language we use as leaders shapes workplace culture. It plays a critical role in psychological safety. Our words (& the way we communicate) can encourage the experimentation & risk-taking we want our teams to demonstrate for innovation & improvement. It can also stifle initiative. @tom_geraghty sets out "seven deadly sins of psychological safety" - the most common/damaging things leaders say that crush psychological safety in the workplace:
1) “That’s a terrible idea.”
2) “You should know that by now.”
3) “Whose fault is this?”
4)“Everyone is replaceable.”
5)“Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions.”
6)“Just get it done.”
7) “Not now, I’m too busy.”

If UK news shows are going to give Boris Johnson a platform to spout his absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow those once in power to rewrite history.

WHAT’S NEXT?
It’s no secret that we’ve been aiming for investment at Mossgiel for the past while, after losing out on a Scottish Enterprise and ScotGov fund in the final throws of a grant offer in 2022.
To get to this point has been difficult; we’ve incorporated (meaning we'll soon be able to offer 'shares' in Mossgiel to our community), changed our structure and engaged some out-of-this-world business personalities for advice.
The feedback though, is that it’s a ‘difficult industry’ and we’re an ‘unconventional team’. - and even just finding potential investors to pitch to has been hard. That’s before we even start talking crowdfunding and the regulatory framework around that!
So, we’ve done the hush hush approach long enough, and taken the feedback on board - and that’s not working for us.
Now though, it’s time to go back to our roots and do it our way. We’ve always been about open-ness, community and honesty - so we’re dusting off and starting again.
Later this week, we'll be posting EXACTLY who we’re looking for in our investment journey, and EXACTLY who we’re not looking for.
If you see this message, and wondering why i’m writing it - its because I need a favour from you.
Whether you know me or not, whether you agree with our vision of sustainable dairy or not - we’re a team wanting to push for change. A change that drives fairness in our food industry, that keeps cows and calves together. A change that prioritises health and quality - and a change that will drive UP the economic outlook of SW Scotland 🏴
The favour?
I need you to share the document coming later this week - whether you’re interested or not; the person with the ability and passion to join us on our journey may be the very person that sees your shared post.
My payback for your favour?
When we get this investment, you’ll watch step by step as we grab the Mossgiel vision by the scruff of the neck. We’ll challenge conventional thinking in dairy from grass to glass and every success and failure will be communicated to take YOU on our journey too.
We’re on the cusp of something amazing - that simple share later this week could be the one that takes that cusp TO amazing.

I was visiting friends in England over the weekend. I was saddened and infuriated in equal measure at the totally distorted perceptive they had on matters in Scotland. These are bright people, but they can only respond to what they hear from a totally hostile media. – at Stirling, Scotland
