It’s astonishing to me that when the Consultants raised concerns ppl in leadership positions just brushed it off. Where did they get that confidence from? I’m trying to imagine someone saying X is harming a patient & me saying “nah, don’t worry about it”

The other day my friend told me that at their Trust management have put motion sensors on consultant desks to find out how often they get used. I believe the rationale is to check whether they are needed as sometimes empty. I can’t believe someone thought this was OK to do

It’s come to the point where people in positions of authority are suggesting an elf receiving an hourly pay rate > a junior doctor might be OK because the elf doesn’t have any career progression. I kid you not. You could not make it up.

Just realised it's my 4-year anniversary of becoming a consultant! Things I've learnt that make it easier: 1) some people just won't like you & that's OK 👌 2) not every problem is fixable 🔨 3) most clinical issues that worry you are 'grey areas' for all consultants 🔎

I’m sure I’m going to get cancelled for saying this but the people who are not obese who purport to “live healthy lives” and think Ozempic is evil …have ‘body privilege’ It might be financial, food, home environment, family or even genetic But it’s still privilege

Im really sorry but “nicey nicey unions” don’t achieve much for their workers Unions are not there to be nice. They’re there to play hard ball. To call bluffs. To push the envelope. To fight for what their workers deserve. There’s no polite or kind way to do this

standards you strive for, the standards that make you feel like you’ve done a good job for the patient, the role that gives you the satisfaction you crave, are simply unachievable. They were often unachievable in my junior doc days (see every weekend ward cover shift which you

Nobody can say the signs weren’t there, when we find ourselves in a 2-tier healthcare system - a PA driven NHS model with only ‘hub specialists’ - consultant driven private healthcare Im happy to be quoted as being sensationalist but I genuinely believe this is the plan

It’s easy to train ppl to recognise a disease BUT recognising what is normal is actually the hardest part of medicine, which all practicing doctors spend years perfecting, which carries risk & which can’t be distilled into a 2-year course. That’s being a Doctor.

Sorry I know the intention behind this is honourable and commendable, but this is not the answer. Also this article is written with such a positive spin - as though if all GPs did this we might solve the crisis. I despise this narrative.
