This 👇💔 It may seem overly grim, but it says something about how doctors can feel like mere cogs in the wheel. I hope it changes. If it doesn't, all metrics indicate that we face very significant costs to individuals, systems, and patients. #wellbeing #retention #PatientSafety #MedSky

When I first learned about HIV as a kid, I largely learned that it was a death sentence. Now, many are living long productive lives with HIV. On this World AIDS Day, let's remember those we've lost, but also celebrate the progress we've made. #ThisIsScience Let's not go backwards. #medsky

This is a ubiquitous experience amongst emergency physicians. Too often we see patients with evidently terminal diagnoses come to us in extremis and it seems we are the first to actually tell them that they are dying and there is nothing we can do to stop that. It is emotionally exhausting.

The Assisted Dying bill currently before Parliament makes worrying reading. Here's a reminder about the gaps in services recently identified by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome & Death, for people with limited life expectancy. The timing of this bill is simply wrong.

You combat hate, by showing love. You combat ignorance, by being willing to teach. You combat prejudice, by examining your own biases. You combat fear, by conquering that which you fear. You combat deceit, by being true to yourself, always. It's how you interact with the world that changes it.

The perpetual crisis in our NHS has other very serious (though less immediately obvious) consequences. Juggling research and clinical workloads is becoming almost impossible in a system with over 100k vacancies and zero slack. Something has to give. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-c...

🧵 This is a tough read. And there's layers here. Avoidable mortality in the ED is always tragic, and services under immense strain are always the primary cause. But let's face it, the poor care Sickle Cell patients frequently receive is due to racism. www.mylondon.news/news/health/...

Utterly tragic read. So many factors at play here, but the thing that gets me is the "partial" observations and that a Black person wasn't believed twice before the patient arrested. These cases are EXACTLY what we are supposed to identify early in the ED. www.mylondon.news/news/health/...

If I’m not mistaken no nurses included. Despite being the largest workforce and being the very group expected to deliver the changes/reform/ into practice. Surely that influence should be utilised & our expertise valued enough to get a seat at the table?
