Junior doctors have no option left but to strike, as exhausted and burnt out colleagues leave in their droves and patient care suffers.

Hello GPs, working for @pulsetoday and would like to know a bit more about your experience of referring patients to CMDUs for antivirals/MAbs - ie how it works, what conversations you are having with patients, etc. If you can help with this, my DMs are open.

We’ve had the date on hold since last year but I feel now is the time 2 share & I’m thinking we may need a dinner & dance afterwards to celebrate our hard work in the last year - let me know if you want me to organise it down after? I can’t think of better peeps to 🥂💃 with.

I keep coming back to this - there are so so so many excellent health and science journalists asking good questions, providing answers, comparisons, context and explanations of what we do and don’t know. Follow them and share their work.
Seen a lot of misinformation this week about hospitals being empty and cancer patients not being treated. Here’s a piece I wrote back in July after looking at data and speaking to doctors and patients (you know rather than just speculating) bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m274…

It was with great sadness that the BGS community learned of the death of Dr Medhat Atalla on 22 April, following treatment for COVID-19. In honour of Dr Atalla, his colleagues at @DBH_NHSFT have written a tribute which you can read here bgs.org.uk/policy-and-media/…

Yesterday, the Barradells recreated their very own @LondonMarathon (with landmarks) and between them, ran 26 miles around their block! 🏃♀️💂♀️
They were aiming to raise £100 and so far, the family have raised over £900 which is INCREDIBLE 🎉👏
