We need to listen to doctors whose training has been detrimentally impacted by their trusts employing PAs. But it’d be cowardly of me not to speak up and say that the PAs I’ve worked with Acute Medicine do not deserve the target we’ve painted on their backs.

Emotional day @LeedsHospitals and @LTHT_SIM as the inspirational, brilliant, fun, dynamic, role model @EileenBurns13 retires after a 42yrs career dedicated to improving older people's care. You will be missed

Dr Emma Runswick(British Medical Association) - "It would cost around £1b to increase junior doctors pay... the govt have written off 15x that on unusable, fraudulent PPE... Steve Barclay needs to stop the silly preconditions if he wants talks to take place" #BBCBreakfast

It'll be a little surreal today working without junior colleagues; and it's important to understand why - particularly with the Government and some news agencies almost deliberately confusing things. As usual, the @FT seems to have the charts and analysis:

Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Like other bad plans, I understood this at the beginning of the pandemic. But not allowing a triple vaccinated, asymptomatic, lateral flow negative visitor wearing the same PPE as I do, to visit their relative with dementia or delirium, seems excessively cruel now

129,000 people who died didn’t cower, they fought for their lives Frontline workers didn’t cower, they kept calm & carried on Millions in lockdown didn’t cower, they followed your rules & made sacrifices for others Glad you’ve recovered but pls never treat illness as weakness

Who suffers most when we remove masks? It’s people working in shops, hospitality and transport who will bear the brunt of the increase in risk. The same people who have already suffered disproportionately due to covid. This doesn’t seem right.

The NHS has done us all proud over the past year but these new figures are devastating and pose challenging questions on whether the right infection controls were in place: theguardian.com/world/2021/m…

There's a passionate debate over how best to approach #COVID19 in the long-term. Do you seek to reduce it to manageable levels? Or to barely any cases at all? We've looked at #ZeroCovid - and the arguments for and against. Produced @MichaelCoxJ bbc.co.uk/news/coronavirus

I'm 50, have genetic heart condition, same as Dad who's 87. I'm "healthy" : ride London-Paris for @DuchenneUK trekked Namibia for @comicrelief. Dying now would feel early by decades. An 'underlying condition' does not mean death with Covid is only to be expected or doesn't count
