Steve Taylor A huge Thank you for all your tweets about the NHS & GPs.
I have decided to unfollow because the situation is distressing & I feel helpless. I agree heartily with all you say, I simply can't cope with the anguish.
Bless you. Take care

And here's Dr David Cartland — “safe evidence-based medicine” by day, and despicable lies about his fellow medics by night. Just incredible. He's got the wrong letters after his name, that's for sure.

The immoral Rwanda Bill does not reflect the British values and kindness that I know and love.

Let's not forget that when we dehumanise others, we chip away at our own humanity too.

We must treat everyone with decency, as I made clear in this video👇🏾

'If we don't do what we say we'll do after one term, kick us out and go back to the Conservatives.'

Labour's Wes Streeting MP urges voters to 'give change a chance', saying he doesn't think the Tories' 'conduct or record should be rewarded' at the next election.

A police horse has been hit amidst violence at London's St George's Day celebration.

The Met say they deployed extra officers as “far right groups and groups linked to football clubs” had travelled from around the UK.

In my role I speak to GPs up & down the country. They all now say ‘enough is enough’. We are witnessing the constructive dismissal of NHS Gen Practice by this govt. We General Practice wrote to NHS England & govt to say we’re in dispute. There’s more to come from GPs. Watch this space…

So I’ve just started to understand modern medical school applications, and blimey! This #UCAT business is an utter load of crap & a financial scam. An absolute disgrace to add the cost and extra stress onto young people with almost zero evidence to support it. #MedTwitter

I'll spend the next few months tying up loose ends whilst I serve out my notice period. Excited and slightly scared to be starting a new chapter of our lives! Looking forward to new challenges!

But beyond the NHS, IMHO there is a fundamental structural issue with the UK economy which means growth is locked down at low rates. Brexit, the pandemic and external conflicts contributed to that, and long-term I'm not sure life for my kids will be as good in the UK as in Asia.

The UK must do more in general to retain doctors and other healthcare staff. Pay restoration is part of it. But so is seriously reconsidering the rapid expansion of MAPs. Without addressing retention issues, people will weigh up various factors and many will decide to leave.

Many doctors will be thinking about leaving as I have been. My department at GSTT Anaesthesia have been wonderful, and I will miss everyone there. But they have limited powers to improve their offer to any individual doctor, due to the NHS's centrally negotiated contracts.

It's been a difficult decision. In the last few years the balance between staying and going has drastically tipped in favour of going. For many reasons: some which relate to my personal circumstances, and some which relate to wider issues in the UK and problems within the NHS.

So it looks like it's happening. I'll be moving to Singapore in the summer to be closer to family. I'll be sad to leave after spending over 20yrs in the UK. But my parents are getting older, and our kids are missing out on a relationship with their grandparents and cousins.

Another fantastic NHS consultant leaving the NHS.

Really need to reflect on the 15 years of accumulated decisions that have decimated NHS workforce morale

Good luck to you Danny Wong (黄永年)

From horror show to triumph! This is the moment when pianist Maria Joao Pires realises - as the orchestra starts to play - that she has learned the wrong piece for a concert. With no sheet music to fall back on, she has to keep calm and carry on. She is AMAZING. As is conductor

‘And each daybreak I ask the same question
As I stand on the ridge deep in thought:
'Why, Lord, did you fashion Cwm Pennant so sweet -
And an old shepherd's life so short?' Eifion Wyn
