Dear @wesstreeting Comparing data between 2016 -2020 and 2020-2024? As per the @gmcuk The difference in employer referral rates between ethnic minority and white doctors has fallen by 61% For non-Uk versus UK graduates, the difference in referral rates has dropped by 69% The regulator says it is now on track to hit its target of eliminating disproportionate employer fitness to practise referrals by the end of 2026. From someone who works with the GMC on tackling referral inequity Let’s not encourage dog whistling 👍🏽 Much regards

Now…a few things about this new development in #T2D via @NICEComms Firstly? Good update in keeping with the science available Now the main points: 1. No way @NHSEngland can implement this AND #Obesity together with finances as they are. 2. One hope is the patent going (see legal case vs Astra Zeneca) and thus generic use of SGLT2i 3. Asking people to raise with GP or diabetes team is not appropriate. They can’t do anything till approved by local system - where point 1 will be important. I can’t stress this enough to comms teams of ALL national organisations There needs to be far more honesty about what the NHS can deliver. And setting of expectations @kamleshkhunti @GoggleDocs @DiabetesUK @VictoriaTzB
