I asked healthcare students on my Instagram story how motivated they are to complete their degree - 76% said they were either very or somewhat unmotivated. Please be kind to the students on placements with you - we’re struggling!

Every person of colour has an experience like this. We raise blatant examples of racism and some posh white person tells us we're being aggressive and that we should watch our "tone". Still shocked that happened to me in Parliament yesterday.

Sometimes they will threaten to refer you if you dare to disagree or even raise a question or concern, even if a white male. Even then when you are proved to be correct nothing happens to them, no apology or learning or disciplinary action. Closed ranks & bullying

Although I take your points and agree with many of them… surely collectively we should be challenging those damaging and toxic hierarchies? As I can’t believe theirs any positive patient outcome from the powerful being able to hide their structural failings.

Professionalism is a social construct. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

6/ The effect of this on Mr Karim will have been profound. It is shameful that this is not acknowledged (much less apologised for) at any point in the GMC’s statement on the case. This attitude is why doctors will continue to die by suicide during GMC investigations.

If you were under investigation by the GMC in 2012 you were 20 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population. 13 doctors committed suicide in that year alone. We cannot ignore these facts. We must look after our doctors. #erasetheGMC

Replying to @cjjmccray @gmcuk
While you're checking that, have you checked in with your member Dr Philip Lee to see if he's OK? Does the GMC have a duty of care to it's members in cases like this - is there a protocol to follow or do you just give the trolls carte blanche to hound one of your members?

#TipsForNewDocs Traits I respect in a doctor: 1. Humility. (Keeps asking opinions of others.) 2. Compassion. (No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.) 3. Integrity. (Does what they say they'll do.) 4. Diligence. (Keeps working the problem.) #Meded

Enough is enough. Parents refusing an NHS doctor purely because of their race is unacceptable😠 They are refusing competent care. It should be a child safeguarding issue. It should not be pandered to. Retweet if you agree🙏 Lets defeat racism in the NHS together 👊

Don’t be unreasonable Leanne, it’s all OK because the white man was well liked and the stupid BAME woman omitted to read ‘The Power of Positive’

It is high time for Doctors to support each other rather than rely on other professionals who essentially thrive on us going against one another. This period will help you understand how important it is to first empathise with your own colleagues

I believe this was clearly not intended for us to see, but it confirmed what is being said behind the scenes. This is unprofessional, prejudice and incredibly discriminatory language which is against the NHS and Nursing code of conduct. @nmcnews @theRCN @NHSuk @SholaMos1

Some students need you to believe in them until they can believe in themselves.
