@adampreston1988 @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @UKLabour I know, and have had good reassurances discussing with my local MP @LucyMPowell but the way that the party leadership is managing these issues has totally undermined my faith in the party. I can’t in good faith continue to support, either with my membership dues or my vote.

@lifeoftazza Anaesthetic colleague here just to confirm that you were absolutely doing the right thing, and that that behaviour is wildly unacceptable. Tense situations do not excuse poor behaviour. You’re well within your rights to escalate grievance if you wished to

Do not mistake. When Gender Critical folk talk about ‘genuine concerns’ this is what they really believe. Open the lid just a little and you see what lies beneath. They think trans people are perverts and mentally ill. CW: Severe transphobic abuse.

@mevparekh Secondly, the NHS Rainbow Badges project was set up with the reality that LGBTQ+ people are often not visibly identifiable, and so the badge promoted visibility for this group. The same doesn’t apply for ethnicity so the assumption here is that its used as a symbol of allyship 2/

A positive thing I’m seeing following a certain high-profile medic posting full chested transphobia is that I am seeing increasing good allyship/challenges to this sort of behaviour For those of you who know, I’m proud of you, and thank you for standing with my community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@bjemec Overall, generally feel that it is obviously fine to have this as a preference, but please don’t give mixed messages if this is the case. Med students often get lots of mixed messages and moved between teams/departments/hospitals often as it is

Always proudly display my @RainbowNHSBadge so that my LGBTQ+ patients know that they have an advocate for them involved in their care. This is so so important and I will always strongly advise my colleagues to do similar!

@WilliamMoore175 @Mickolas9 @parden04 @GuyLambertUK The pride flag, on a lanyard, for instance, is experienced as a political declaration by patients. It does not belong in a professional, ethical doctor-patient relationship. The patients, who are often hurting, terrified and anxious, should not have to deal also with our…

This is embarrassing but when I started F1 I thought fondaparinux was a French word so for a whole month I was pronouncing it ‘fondaparin-NOO’

@rosieICM Come on, you’re a consultant anaesthetist! You are very well trained at quickly disappearing, reading up on something that you’ve been asked about and know nothing of and quickly regurgitating it to sound all-knowing

It’s been a long journey to get to this point, but I’m really pleased that we have an apology from the GMC for the historic injustices done against doctors based on homophobic laws. A massive thanks to the GMC LGBTQ+ staff network members who worked hard to bring this about.

Today, our Chair, Dame Carrie MacEwen apologises for the action we took against doctors, in historic cases, where they were cautioned or convicted under now abolished homophobic laws. Homophobic laws and attitudes, that were in place into the 1980s and beyond, caused personal…

I shall say this @TheBMA I specifically voted for @tee_kayoki to represent me and my interests on Council. I voted for him because of his activism, because of his capacity to speak truth of the structures of oppression in this country. Removing him for those views is a betrayal.
