I’m just a Junior Doctor, standing in front of a Health Secretary, asking him to pay me as much as a Junior Doctor 15 years ago

I find running stroke calls stressful (partially for personal reasons) but the results you can achieve are staggering. I thrombolysed someone with very significant disability, sent them for thrombectomy and they had an almost total resolution of symptoms. Incredible medicine

Unpaid means you do whatever you want. Personally I think human factors teaches us that every decision made overnight will be questionable, every procedure will be less safe. Anything that can safely be put off for the day should be.

If someone had theoretically written an opinion peace for the BMJ, how straightforward would it be to get it published? @parthaskar @mancunianmedic

At Arrowe Park, the Trust has admitted that nurse consultants have been covering doctor shifts and carrying out work in place of medical consultants. Patients deserve transparency about who is providing their care. We’ve written to the Trust asking why doctors are being replaced in this way.

Me when I saw I have an IMT2 as my SHO for my first med reg nights

If I were Nick Clegg, I would keep my mouth very shut on this issue. I have a plan 2 and a post graduate loan, with the terms that his government established, my deductions this month are below. I can’t believe his gall

I am binevitable.

On my way, Clacton.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

All the time they’re paying physicians’ assistants more than doctors, the government’s position of “there’s no more money for doctors” is utterly untenable. Updated disparities, as at 1 April 2026👇🏼

The amount that medical students now have to know is far more than we had to. The volume of knowledge has increased x4 in 35 years. Even if they learn and forget they build up an internal map and model of medicine which guides them long after and they can go refresh the details as needed. It is why we do anatomy and dissect and read big books. It is that internal map and model that others will never have.

I do wonder how the various professional healthcare bodies would respond - if doctors did a trunchated online programme around their areas of practice, described it as advanced then began filling their roles and describing their rotas as a blended skills rota.

A friend in a nearby hospital has told me their specialty has kicked specialty trainees out of their office, reserving it for ANPs. A quote from a consultant “we’re hoping to phase out trainees from the service, and just have ANPs” The ladder pulling is just unfathomable

My ICU experience so far as an IMT
