Pulmonary embolism exists to keep physicians humble.
Me to an IMT doctor yesterday. #pulmonaryembolism
Came across this picture & it had me reflecting on the importance of recognising how many years of training it takes to reach the “level of a Day 1 Consultant” or GP when discussing pay & scope of practice.
There is no alternative to these years for this knowledge. #MedTwitter
'Most neurodivergent trainees and colleagues are not in difficulty' Mary Doherty challenging deficit approach that increases stigma. We are delighted to have her speaking at RCSI today. Thanks to Mary and to Zoe McCormack for help organising.
I wish I could say that being a pregnant surgical resident was fine. But that wouldn’t be the whole story. And if we don’t share the whole story, how will things continue to improve?

💥 NHS STAFF 💥
Please consider signing this open letter to Victoria Atkins & Amanda Pritchard at NHS England expressing your dismay at their extraordinary decision to cut NHS Practitioner Health funding for hospital staff.
Please share widely 🙏
Letter here:

For clarity. Chris. When my surgical trainee husband was acutely suicidal the only ‘support’ from his employer was a letter saying his pay would stop soon…
NHS Practitioner Health on the other hand very literally saved his life.
Decommissioning ‘while you review’ will cost lives.
We are very concerned about the changes to NHS Practitioner Health services for secondary care staff from tomorrow. We know from our members and colleagues that support for clinicians is vital and leads to better patient outcomes. Investment in the welfare of the workforce is essential…
This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. Victoria Atkins - please do the right thing.
Tim Lane 💙 Ginny Bowbrick The Royal College of Surgeons of England The 4 of us are a good illustration of what diversity brings to surgery. We've each at times been excluded for various reasons, and used our experiences for good.
As one of my colleagues says (tongue in cheek)-
Don't follow Rhea unless you want to break things*.
* the mold 😉
We scrub up well Tim Lane 💙 !! Congratulations on your election to The Royal College of Surgeons of England Council. Am looking forward to working with you and all of our new colleagues. We’ve come a long way from being 1st year SpRs together in Tunbridge Wells.
Welcome to your newly elected Council members. Congratulations to Deborah Eastwood, Tim Lane 💙, Clara Vella, Francisca Ferreira and Professor Lynda Wyld, who will begin their terms this July - and Professor Frank Smith, Rachel Hargest and Ian Loftus, who have been re-elected.🧵
Eid Mubarak to all of our colleagues, friends and members who celebrate. Wishing you all a blessed and joyous #EidAlFitr
