Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. This new publication by @rcpsych is an excellent resource for information and practical matters surrounding autism and mental health rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/…

Have you got what it takes to become a psychiatrist?
Some people worry they are not the right ‘type of person’ or don’t have the emotional resilience.
In this blog post Dr Kate Lovett has some reassuring words #ChoosePsychiatry

These stats, just released, are a national scandal.
Over 15,000 doctors applied to GP training this year.
Yet @NHSEngland is letting only 4000 of them do so.
Yes. That’s 11k potential new GPs lost to the NHS - when we’re crying out for GPs.
Many replaced with PAs - madness.

Brand new PA job advert for a gastroenterology PA
Procedures to do include endoscopy and ascitic taps
Does @SHSCFT have no regard for @RCPhysicians instructions on pause on recruitment? @CareQualityComm
Or is the NHS happy insulting patients and relatives especially in light of Susan Pollitt coroners report and regulation 28?

This cannot be repeated too often. Such a vile, hateful racist. #FarageRiots
Charlotte Blewett retweeted
So yesterday far right racist rioters in Sunderland threw rocks & missiles at Filipino NHS nurses on their way to provide emergency cover at the hospital.
Your silence is deafening @Nigel_Farage & your band of inciters of racist hate.
Shame on you.

Watching those monsters set fire to the Holiday Inn in Rotherham to burn alive the asylum seekers inside
…whilst blocking the doors & LAUGHING is something I never thought I’d witness in England in 2024.
What kind of depraved person does that to another?!
Murderers.

Otherwise known as the entire annual salary of nearly 50,000 NHS nurses - just up in scandalous smoke.

We're calling for a halt to recruitment of PAs in general practice following our consultation with over 5,000 GPs, until they are regulated & practices are in a position to implement our forthcoming guidance on scope of practice, induction & supervision. rcgp.org.uk/representing-you…

This doctor took an Uber home and found his driver was
….a qualified GP unable to get work!!!
Wonder why you can’t get a GP appointment?
It’s because the government are DELIBERATELY manufacturing a shortage of GPs so they can replace them with less qualified non-doctors.
Years & years of study, exams, sacrifice & for what?! Our entire profession betrayed by our own leaders 🤬🤬
