I worry about the future of academic emergency medicine. The current lack of senior lecturer / associate professor posts is creating a very tight bottleneck in the academic training pathway.
The number of NHS consultants employed by universities to lead research has decreased by a third since 2004. We need to boost research in our NHS - read our full report #NHSacademia ow.ly/yxbB50JyWt6

#OnThisDay or possibly yesterday 1912 Captain Robert Falcon Scott from #plymouth and the remainder of his party died in the #Antarctic whilst returning from the South Pole. His last diary entry (29th March) read. ‘For gods sake, look after our people.’ A message for us all.

Today we are celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Major General Sir Matthew Fell. In 1918 Fell transferred to the fledgling RAF as the first Director of Medical Services. He was incredibly proud of being the father of the RAF Medical Service. @HdRAFMS
