Ernst & Young were external auditors of the Post Office from 1986 to 2018, the entire period of the Horizon IT scandal.
Post office accounts always received a clean bill of health.
In parliament I have asked the Govt to investigate the role of auditors.

Watching @wesstreeting on @SkyNews this morning; Labourās plan to cut waiting lists is based on staff working over time. What power does @NHSEngland have to oblige staff to work overtime and what measures will he take to prevent reluctant staff being bullied into āvolunteeringā?

ALT Classification criteria for PLD severity, clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment options. Gigot and Schnelldorfer classifications are based on the number and size of the cysts and the remaining liver parenchyma. Height adjusted liver volume criteria: <1000, 1000ā1800, >1800 ml/m. Coronal T2-weighted MRI images are shown for each patient type. In type A, the patient has large kidney cysts, but well-preserved liver parenchyma; in the type B patient, there is a residual preserved area of liver parenchyma; and in the type C and D patient, there is very little nonaffected liver. LV, left ventricle; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PLD, polycystic liver disease.

Ever wondered how the firm that made the faulty Horizon system for the Post Office gets so much government business? You pay for a civil servant to help it bit.ly/41YsO0E

Thank you so much for explaining this
My brother is about to donate his stem cells for me.
Thank you for your wonderful support @AnthonyNolan
It really is a very simple process ā¤ļø
There are plenty of myths around stem cell donation, but one of the most common myths is around the donation process being really painful.
Luckily, Joel, a haematologist based at @thelondonclinic, is here to help explain why that isn't the case!

Great to share. Thank you
Hopefully these are standard across all the NHS
Often each trust as their own guidelines about things. It wasteS effort, causes confusion by having different protocols across NHS and stops good practice being better shared

UK GP Salaries consistently come out high in international rankings . If they choose to work elsewhere that is their business, but GPs and consultants do pretty well in the UK In terms of earnings.

Check the holiday/leave conditions. One of the only downsides of Aussie academia for me was less holiday time (approx 4 weeks in aus vs 6 weeks in uk academia). Either donāt see your family or spend all of your holidays seeing your family (hence no time for aus holidays)

I know ex doctors who now earn far more doing Botox and big pharma sales.

From a few years back but still relevant:
Recovery needs of intensive care patients is recognised in NICE guidelines now more than 10 years old, but NHS England still doesnāt commission post-ICU rehab.
