How can NHS improve the retention of IMG doctors? Starter pack 🧵 Please stop telling non-training grade doctors that they are just service provision & shouldn't expect help with personal development & training.

Dear 🇬🇧, As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit. #SOSNHS #NHS75
A chart from the Commonwealth Fund 2014 "Mirror Mirror" report ranking healthcare systems among wealthy nations. The UK ranked 1 in nearly every category, including overall ranking. It delivered the best care for the least amount of money, beating every other wealthy nation. We don't need a new healthcare system. We need a new government that will care about it.

The view of trainees can be quite different to the consultants who are involved in the development. #TC2023 @Anaes_Trainees

I do like the term “sensory disintegration” to describe disconnection between (still functioning) brain regions. Like pulling the cables out of your internet router. Your gadgets all work - but they aren’t connected!

She was in her 40s. A junior doctor. Older than all her peers, she was different. She was the one who left on time. Eyes rolled. People tutted. She wasn't committed. She lacked dedication.

Not as much media coverage as I would’ve expected but if you weren’t aware, junior docs in England are striking from today. Here’s a great explanation of why #JuniorDoctorsStrike #SolidarityWithStrikes

Excellent by @TheBMA @ERunswickBMA Deputy Chair ‘It only sounds like we’re asking for a lot because that’s how much pay we’ve lost’ ❌ No to a one off payment @SteveBarclay

For anyone looking for a good regional anesthesia textbook, I can recommend Eryk Eisenberg's book which is now available in English - p006yaxkkx.preview.infomania… Very practical book written by expert clinicians with lovely illustrations.

Being a trainee doctor is actually like being in a an abusive relationship (I’ve done both). You convince yourself you aren’t able to leave (because what else would you do?). You feel like you’d be a failure for ‘giving up’. You accept bad treatment because you’re scared. – at London, England

America; you can buy a 1000 doses of 800mg 🤔 Ibuprofen (400mg is likely optimal & little to be gained beyond 600mg) but you dose paracetamol at only 650mg 🤯 (but you can still buy them by the 1000s of doses) 1g paracetamol with 400mg ibuprofen combined NNT= 1.5 and very safe

Today at work: Recovery nurse: “Hi Luke. Do you have a vial of ondansetron?” “Sure……may I ask why?” “Your last patient” “Oh sorry! Are they sick/nauseous” “No, You just didn’t give it” A thread about PONV Dogma, fraudulent science, changed practice and questions… 🧵

With all due respect to whoever devised CST, it really isn’t worth the headache! I would suggest you do the CST equivalent CREST form. Competencies aren’t that difficult to get signed off & you avoid the headache that CST brings. #MedTwitter

It’s fascinating how threatened some ‘successful’ men are by women who speak up
