Just to reassure people I still work for the NHS. Looking forwards to meeting yet another Andrew Goddard.

BBC reports that excess deaths in 2022 were among the worst in 50 years. This is based on a crude comparison with deaths in 2019 (9% more) – not adjusting for changes in population size and age.

But there are other (in my view better) ways of looking at excess deaths/mortality.

What a pair! The General Medicine ward team today has 2 Dr Andrew Goddards. That hasn’t caused any confusion at all…..

Found these at the back of a cupboard. Only 12 months out of date but will risk it. Is it wrong to miss them so much?

Celebrating new members and fellows this week and have been reminded how brilliant physicians are and why I have been so lucky to have worked at ⁦Royal College of Physicians⁩ for 20 yrs. I’ve written a blog about proposing people for the FRCP which explains more rcplondon.ac.uk/news/why-nomin…

Happy National #PathologyWeek 2022! This week we're celebrating the hard work of our members across all the specialties & highlighting the importance of pathology in the past, present & future. Here's a message from College President Michael Osborn. rcpath.org/pathologyweek. #RCPath60

We understand the concerns raised about the RCP chief examiner role currently being advertised and want to be clear what this role entails and requires.

Please see our statement here: rcplondon.ac.uk/news/statement…

PACES delivered by Royal College of Physicians is overseen by the Senior PACES examiner who sits on Council, usually has run the exam many times before and is an FRCP of many years standing.

Really great to see this. Susan has been brilliant in the response to COVID and monkeypox and am proud she is an FRCP.

Thank you so much for all the lovely tweets about this news. I have been incredibly fortunate to work with so many brilliant people in the world of medicine and could not have done anything without them or Mrs G and the rest of my family. Thank you!!!

We've found that over half of Brits feel their health has been negatively affected by the rising cost of living. The #InequalitiesInHealthAlliance are calling for a cross-government strategy to reduce health inequalities because #EverythingAffectsHealth : ow.ly/7yzA50J9eM2
