Time flies

The rest is history

It’s been a journey.

Anton Emmanuel The socioeconomic determinants of health are the determinants of health. We are watching the health of the nation decline in our lifetimes. It is a bit depressing really.

A 12 month stay of execution is welcome for the many individuals who need the service of NHS Practitioner Health - thank you for listening NHS England

But what happens then. We need to keep the pressure up to grow this critical workstream.

Universal Credit levers an immoral and destructive toll on those least able to bear it. Over the last 10 years I have seen the escalating burden on the patients I see who are on UC

In 2014 life dealt me an out of the blue, terrifying, life-changing experience.
It shattered me into pieces.

My reaction to it was grossly misunderstood by my peers, and by colleagues I had previously trusted too.

I lost my health, via major surgery, and then my job

The SAS Collective Speak to SAS doctors to understand the challenges they have had and how they brought about change. To try and inspire SAS docs to reach further than they think possible. To push for opportunities. To question the status quo asking why it hasn't already been questioned. #SASSix

Anton Emmanuel That is sad & sobering. Let’s pledge to change this The SAS Collective #SASsix

Of ones I know.

North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust have a medical directorate development faculty to support SAS leadership.

East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT) have a quality improvement course for SAS workforce

Take the trouble to get data on your SAS workforce some organisations have with action to follow

#SASSix

I agree with this, albeit with a heavy heart.

It is sad that medical colleagues may be more likely to get leadership in other sectors than their own profession. We have seen this before for disabled, ethnic minority and women leaders historically.

#SASSix

Firstly - change mindsets. The discrimination / ignoring of SAS colleagues is the biggest first hurdle. Include SAS leads in medical directorate structure (also LED, IMG leads) with clear objectives, governance and admin support. All posts to have PA allocation. 1/n

Input from a group who are responsible for large volume of care provision - how can we successfully improve patient care if we don't tap into the largest workforce group

Parity of esteem

Practical support for CESR

Ensuring optimal contracts for SAS/LED staff

This MWRES report with 'Other' for SAS/LEDs was only 2 years ago - could never happen thanks to the collective power and work of #SASsix
