We wouldn’t have to worry about our Twitter following if there weren’t so many dangerous individuals on Twitter that we have to correct.
Please follow and RT if you think NHS staff should have a louder voice than people like this during a pandemic.

I'm a GP being sued for missing your devastating diagnosis. I'm so sorry theguardian.com/society/2018…
Yesterday I revalidated with the NMC. ‘Revalidated?’ I’m glad I was ‘valid’ before, but what if my direct debit doesn’t clear? Will I then become invalid? I have inherent value even without my PIN. I don’t disagree with the process, but the terminology could be better.

BBC Radio wanted to have me on today to debate a climate-denier in the context of the drought/heatwave.
I said NO.
I told them it was a disgrace that they still give climate-deniers airtime at a time like this.
I won’t be part of such charades any longer.
Please RT if you agree.

I'm indebted to the 'Practitioner Health Programme' for giving *me* back my personal pride, when I was relatively early on in my recovery from alcoholism. Life-saving. I think @claregerada and ALL colleagues are truly amazing. my piece on it: php.nhs.uk/suspended-doctors… #TheBMJAwards
