Wondered if anyone was interested in applying to help us expand in Gloucestershire by joining a dynamic team of Acute Physicians with one of the most interesting medical takes in the region? Apply through NHS jobs. I am available if you have questions. @NHSGlos @gloshospitals

Thanks @5_News @catherine5news for the credit & excellent report - much more balanced reporting of the figures than Ive seen elsewhere in the media today!
Consultants in England with @TheBMA have started a two day strike. It means only emergency care and a small amount of routine work- so-called Christmas Day cover - will be provided. Health correspondent @catherine5news reports #strikes #doctorstrikes #seniordoctors

Dear @SteveBarclay, There seems to be a lot of interest on UK #MedTwitter (@RoshanaMN) in how enticing Australia is for UK docs. Here are a few examples, from a junior doctor who made the move, of the international market you're competing with. You should be worried.🧵
