NHS Pension Scheme ‘Interesting’ that it runs a surplus of over £4.4bn per year NHS staff with their ‘golden’ pensions costing the country £Millions. Well it appears not to be the case 🤔 www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/sites/defaul...

Very foggy around here at the moment. Many drivers seemingly oblivious to the fact that in many cases their car’s automatic day running lights only illuminate the front of their vehicle and don’t illuminate the rear at all. Suggest you double check your own car, it might save you being rear ended!

I’m struck by the incongruity of politicians like Jeremy Hunt being in favour of providing senior “second opinions” in NHS hospitals (Martha’s law) while also having facilitated the widespread introduction of non-medically qualified PAs (Noctors) into the NHS. #R4Today

Oh no. According to my employer, I’ll cease knowing an adequate amount about “equality and human rights” at midnight on the 6th of March. Better crack open my training of dubious quality.

Here’s a link to the Government consultation regarding regulation of NHS managers (in England). Nothing to stop you filling it in if you live / work elsewhere in the U.K. (Takes ~ 20 mins). Long overdue in my opinion (after 30 yrs as an NHS doctor). consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/67221f12b280...

Can never understand the logic of "slippery slope" arguments when we have a system where the House of Commons decides nearly everything. It's only a slippery slope if in the future the Commons changes its mind on something- which guess what, it can do at any time.
