From tiny 25 weeker at 707g, to junior doctor. Always thankful for the amazing care I received, and now is my chance to give back. 💜 #WorldPrematurityDay
Thank you @TheAnondroid3 for always being my inspiration!

“Try this cure for the trainee doctor crisis”
A remarkably refreshing opinion piece in @thetimes.
Unlike our health secretary, @FraserNelson clearly gets it.

How many patients know this?
In 2025 there were 91,999 applications for just 12,833 training posts.
Thousands of doctors who want to be your next GPs and A&E doctors were shut out.
So when you wait months for an appointment/12hrs in A&E,
remember this is the government’s choice
Tomorrow is my last shift as an F2 doctor, and with it, the end of foundation training. It feels quite bittersweet, and has made me pause and reflect on everything the last two years have taught me.
I have cared for people at the very start and the very end of life. I have heard stories that made my heart sink, but witnessed moments that made it all worth it.

Skilled. Exhausted. Unemployed.
That should be what we are talking about.
I would like to know how many doctors are currently at risk of unemployment from August/September.
I know of several clinical fellow jobs receiving over 500 applications for just one post.
@TheBMA
Skilled. Exhausted. Underpaid. That’s the reality for NHS doctors earning just £17/hr to care for your loved ones in their most critical moments.
Resident doctors are asking for £22/hr. A fair wage for highly skilled work.
But @wesstreeting won’t even come to the table. He’s hiding the pay review body’s report. He’s refusing to negotiate.
Same old Tory tactics. Just a red rosette this time.
Doctors, there are 9 days left until the ballot opens. To receive a ballot on time, make sure you update your workplace and home address details via: myaccount.bma.org.uk

It is important doctors engage with this review.
Medical training is broken and must be fixed.
Training bottlenecks must go.
Have your say on the future of medical training.
A call for evidence is now open until 20 May 2025: engage.england.nhs.uk/survey…

ALT The Medical Training Review call for evidence is open until 20 May 2025.
A bittersweet goodbye after 4 months in GP. A challenging, eye-opening but fantastic learning experience in inner city practice life!
Looking forward to my next adventure in paediatrics - saving the best rotation until last!
