‘Making noise’ Treating qualified doctors like nursery children. Is this an accurate representation of how you treat your staff? @ELHT_NHS @ELHT_CEO

Finally attending an #RCPsychIC . Has only taken me 6 years into being a doctor...! Really looking forward to the great programme. I’ll also be helping on @FMLM_UK ’s stand - they’ve done loads for my leadership and management development, and the specialty has always supported me.

@ShaunLintern Confusing professionalism with working for free and martyrdom - when actually it papers over cracks and contributes to underfunding.

@wendyburn @drraja_ On a home visit follow up to a patient with dementia some years ago, I asked if she could remember me. With the answer being no I explained I was the doctor looking after her memory. Long pause. Patient to me with a grin: “you’re not doing a very good job are you...!” 🤷🏽‍♂️😁😆😂

@Cal2bmrs @juniordrblog The Courts were asked to deem what was in the best interests of the child, and they agreed that ventilation should be stopped. Palliative care comes afterwards and the hope is a plan will be agreed with the parents.

@DrTobyGilbert @ACEMcCormack Pabrinex is the only UK parenteral preparation. Oral thiamine cannot replenish depleted states (and therefore not treat Wernicke’s).

. @MattHancock needs to do something about this ASAP. It’s a joke. Consultants are having to pay for the pleasure of working, and the only way to avoid this is to work LESS. This means the service the NHS provides WILL get worse. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Here is the judgement from #BawaGarba and the request to appeal. I have little knowledge in this area of law, but it reads to me that systemic factors were ignored, an expert witness threw her under the bus and her consultant abdicated his duty.

A bunch of anti-psychiatry stuff is appearing on my Twitter feed, seemingly coming from psychologists. Who are these people? I work with and know several clin psychs and academic psychologists - none of them are like this...

@techpriest Really felt supported by the registrar. But also a shame that line had to be resorted to. Afterwards I looked this stuff up and saw the whole thing was nonsense. This was local protocol followed like a prophecy, rather than an evidence-based one. Hopefully they’ve changed.

It’s pretty disgusting how @Leic_hospital got away with scapegoating a nurse and junior doctor for their own systemic failures.

Robert Francis called for regulation of non-clinical hospital managers c. 10 years ago following the Mid Staffs scandal. We got the watered down Fit and Proper Persons Test. Surely the #LucyLetby horror will have to bring this in…?

Oh look. Consultants think less of our SAS colleagues. What a surprise. Everyone knows this. This just puts it in black and white. This is a problem across the medical profession, not just psychiatry…

Agree. Medical school currently recruits for medics, surgeons and GPs. Mental health doesn't even figure at that early stage.

@CardiffFeminist @OrthopodReg Plenty of others have already pointed out this - one hypothesis is that you are actually the problem, and with every doubling-down response you give that explanation becomes more and more likely.
