Just a reminder by the way.
We stood on the picket lines with the Nurses and Resident Doctors in the fight for pay restoration.
We’d do it again.
Currently having my 'break' in a busy entrance waiting room. Not exactly conducive to rest or I imagine the image the trust wants to portray of how it treats its staff especially in the context of the recent 10 point plan to improve resident doctor wellbeing.
Med reg at a large NHS trust tonight. 1 old, unclean recliner chair in an office is seen as acceptable rest facilities for the 5 med registrars on site. We know that fatigue causes prescription errors and patient harm. We also know driving home afterwards is inherently dangerous.

When elderly people, lawyers, vicars and doctors are being arrested for sitting peacefully, something has gone very very wrong.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.
The confirmation of famine in Gaza City is utterly horrifying and wholly preventable.
The Israeli government’s refusal to allow sufficient aid into Gaza has caused this man-made catastrophe. This is a moral outrage.

Note: In today's NHS the outcome of this case at a morbidity (nearly mortality) MDT would be "followed protocol", all good. That is how messed up everything is.
Why is Bob Vylan being investigated for 'criminal offences' higher up BBC news than another reported war crime by the IDF? Have we really lost our sense of justice and morality that much.
Once again the NHS HR/rotational trainee debacle strikes.
I'm even staying in the same hospital this time, just rotating departments, and it can't be done right.
Brilliant.

Dismayed to see you sharing such a misleading & potentially deeply frightening video, Kim.
If someone is in 'unspeakable pain' at the end of life, they should see a palliative care doctor like me - & I can promise you there is always something I can do for your pain. (1/n)
Great to hear from @PrueLeith who knows all too well how the current status quo restricting choice at the end of life fails so many.

Donald Trump says stopping military aid is the best way to get peace, except in the middle East where apparently it's best to keep arming Israel

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

ATC and pilots of the CRJ did their jobs.
For whatever reason(s) the Black Hawk pilots didn't and that could be many things, including spatial disorientation.
Trump, as usual, has no idea what he's talking about and just spouts buzzwords like 'diversity'.
Awful human being.

The government seem determined to demonise the public sector for wanting to be paid fairly.
@RachelReevesMP threatening cuts to services is disgraceful. A 2.8% pay rise for the public sector is insulting and will lead to strikes.
Drs won’t tolerate this.

So I have had some interaction with the CEO. Hopefully things are moving in a direction to get me a rota. I'll be happier when I actually have it though! Thanks all for the support and advice, I hopefully don't need to get frustrated and bemoan things on X again any time soon!
Not exactly sure what I need to do to get @Leic_hospital to give me a rota for a job I start in less than 5 weeks. Here's me just wanting to know what days I will be working, with a wife in hospital and a 6 day old to look after. Been completely sent round the houses. @TheBMA
