The same also applies to the Dame Sheila Sherlock Prize Lecture. Please don’t be a victim of imposter syndrome. You have to be in it to win it! I would also like to encourage my fellow female hepatologists to apply. I wish I had found the courage to apply. It’s a big regret.

Good to see @basl_events advertise the #AndyBurroughs award 2026
The no. of applications has reduced in recent years which will be related to imposter syndrome rather than a lack of young UK research talent
Reasons to apply:
- Why not
- Platform to present
- Legacy is important

Why do you not support NHS doctors starting on £23 an hour @wesstreeting? Is that not a fair amount for people we expect to look after us and our families?

“It’s not like I’m a bad drinker.” A new study reveals how the stigma of being seen as an “alcoholic” deters people with liver cirrhosis from accepting life-saving support.

PFI vs PF Eye? Our research shows that outsourced NHS eye care services leaks the same amount of profit in one year as all 100 NHS PFI schemes. From a public finance scandal it is bigger than PFI. Find out how much leaks out in your local area here: chpi.org.uk/the-outsourcing-…

Never, ever forget that 2012 - 2018 was the unsafest and most dangerous in its history due to Hunt's backing of ruthless austerity.
He wasn't the Knight in shining armour. He was the smirking assassin.

Anyone apologised?
Anyone resigned?
Lives and careers at stake
The fall in standards of leadership in the NHS is astonishing to watch
Take some responsibility
Be accountable
Apologise and make way for someone who cares about lives of doctors.
Please

Just seen this - unacceptable @MRCPUK that this error occurring in 2023 has (a) happened at all and (b) was only flagged up in 2025.
No wonder our trainees are in so much despair. This is a another kick in the teeth.
I hope the federation fix this shambles ASAP.

I’ve finished crying about this and now I’m just full of rage.
How can you do this @MRCPUK? I don’t understand. What do you mean your auditing processes found an error? 1.5 years later?!
A refund and a free booking for a resit is not enough. Show us what went wrong 😩

The idea that using the private sector adds genuine additional capacity to support the NHS is "utter nonsense" says our Director. The private sector is entirely reliant on NHS doctors to do any operations. Without them it would collapse overnight theguardian.com/society/2025…
