Imagine being told you have 3 weeks before starting your new job to find a place to live - in a city or town you've never been to before. It's unreasonable. It's unacceptable. It's unfair.

Hundreds of UK final year medical students have been told by their foundation schools that they could only get three weeks notice of what hospital and city they will start working in.....🧵
Graphic with the words "3 Weeks notice is not enough to give new doctors to relocate to another city.

Mind-boggling advice from NICE - to use injections of sterile water for pain relief for labouring women. One of the studies cited seriously has sterile water as its active arm &, er, salty water as placebo😳 (ref below). *When* will my profession take women's pain seriously?
Catherine Roy (@catherineroyuk) profile pictureCatherine Roy@catherineroyuk29 Sep 2023
Shame on you @NICEComms. Agreeing that healthcare professionals can offer pseudoscientific pain relief to women in labour is nothing short of a scandal. Shame on you. New NICE intrapartum guidelines nice.org.uk/guidance/ng235 1/

A lot of hard work by @sophhmacdonald on an analysis of the access to PHEM critical care across the UK - since the last review in 2012 there still remains geographical and diurnal variation #PHEM #HEMS

I did a medical degree in 3 years 7 months. Here's why I think 4 year medical degrees as standard is a truly AWFUL idea.

Nobody should lose their life due to lack of access to equipment. That’s why we’ve committed to supplying 18,000 state-funded schools with a life-saving defibrillator. Today, every secondary school in England has this vital equipment.

@educationgovuk25 Jun 2023
Today marks a milestone moment in our roll-out of life saving defibrillators. As part of a £19 million plan, all eligible secondary schools now have a defibrillator and all state-funded schools requiring one, will receive one by the end of the academic year.

Current water temperatures will evoke the maximum cold shock response, and can lead to swim failure in as little as 10 minutes. Please respect the water!

As we enjoy the warm weather over the next few weeks, please remember and share @RNLI advice – if you get into trouble in the water, Float To Live. Tilt your head back with ears submerged 👂 Relax and try to control your breathing 🫁 Move your hands to help you stay afloat ✋
RNLI graphic featuring a man in the water floating, following the Float To Live Tips. Text reads: If you're struggling in the water... Tilt your head back with ears submerged. Relax and move your hands to help you stay afloat.
