Alan was one of the best surgical SpRs I've worked with. Our loss was Luton's gain 🥲
It’s been a tough road but wouldn’t have taken any other route, all of it worthwhile! Delighted to start as a Consultant Surgeon with the amazing team @LandDHospital. Forever grateful to the many mentors, colleagues, friends and family that made this possible. Thank you 🙏

Even after everyone has double/illegally parked, there are NO empty staff parking spaces on site today and the parking team won't pick up the phone. Same situation last week, got a fine, appeal rejected. All very helpful 🧐🙃🫠 – at Chelmsford, East

This plan is just... so dumb. Seems like @UKLabour also don't have a clue how to sort the NHS out. BBC News - Doctors up for longer hours for more overtime pay, says Keir Starmer bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

If you want to understand why doctors strikes will not end any time soon and why this is a disaster, take the temp of doctors from contemporary surveys 🧵

It is with a heavy heart to report that Mittens, the beloved train cat, departed her favourite station for the last time at 1645 23 June 2023. Adored and loved by many. Always missed. Run free, my beautiful lady.

0 out of 16 F2s I have spoken to are entering specialist training in the UK. 25% off to Auz/NZ, 25% have non-medical jobs & 50% are doing F3/locum Not surprising given how they have been treated both by those in charge of ‘training’ (HEE, GMC, colleges) & those in charge of pay
