The “Placeholder” F1s-to-be will be so stressed by this ludicrous situation, but there’s something practical that as consultants we can do to help: we can offer up our spare rooms for a few weeks to give our newest colleagues a safety net for accommodation and a warm welcome.

People commending Dr Dan Poulter MP for defecting to The Labour Party ignore the fact he has been a Tory MP for 14 yrs supporting underfunding of the NHS, leading to its current state.

It didn’t happen overnight.

The Labour Party should not take his advice.

Rob Galloway is a great option

All very well but Dr Daniel Poulter MP was a minister in the DoH at the time of the Lansley reforms which sowed the seeds of the shitshow we have today. And suddenly today he’s had a revelation?

Disingenuous is the polite word that springs to mind.

At least apologise & own it 🤷🏽‍♂️😡

The story is more how he, as an NHS psychiatrist, could have possibly considered over at least the past decade that support for the NHS was consistent with being a Conservative MP. Like a deathbed conversion, changing parties in the face of electoral oblivion just looks cynical.

Dan Poulter was an ex junior dr of mine and literally brought in every policy that has destroyed the NHS

He is joining the Labour Party so that post election he can be a medical advisor to the next Labour government.

It worries me what advice he will give

As some one who has worked in the NHS for 35 yrs and examined its working throughout that time my list of what needs changing would start with

Stop breaking the system by defunding it in the name of efficiency. It is way beyond the point at which trying to cut

I sent this email to GMC regarding the suspension of Dr Sarah Benn RCPCH RCPCH President Adam Kay Health for XR Michael Mckean Dr Rachel Clarke Shaun Lintern

Utter madness. Your role, GMC, was to assess her fitness to practise. Is she a danger to patients? No.

Meanwhile, you ignore the grave safety concerns of 1000s of doctors over PAs.

Increasingly - & deeply ironically - the danger to patients looks like it’s coming from you 🤷‍♀️

This is nonsense and dangerous from the GMC.

Is it okay to touch your colleague's hair (if they haven't invited you to)? I think you know the answer but if you're interested in writing around 300 words on this for me please get in touch - [email protected]

Great to know that our regulator will allow behaviours ranging from committing sexual assault to spreading harmful misinformation about vaccines, but to speak out about the climate crisis, the greatest threat to human health, is where GMC draws the line.

This is madness
Spread dangerous anti vax info? GMC not interested

In what way could this possibly harm patients or the profession?
GMC in self -parody mode now

Your court date will still be as delayed

Your taxes will still be as high
