For anyone shopping at Tesco Cityside or Tesco express in city centre... The @Pituitary_org NI support group have been nominated for the blue token scheme. We'd really appreciate your support. Funds will go a long way to improving support and awareness of #pituitary conditions
Agreed. A hopeless spiral and from chatter on the ground he has lost the faith/backing of "junior" doctors in Northern Ireland already. The NHS here is looking more and more irrecoverable...

I see @BelfastTrust are at it again. They’ve pulled the medical reg rota one day before changeover, citing OOH shifts are difficult to fill. Yes, at the pittance offered. It is not acceptable to cause such chaos to doctors lives at the drop of a hat. We have had enough.
Thank you to @KorbonitsL (again) for giving me the opportunity to contribute this manuscript just published in JCEM - Endocrine alterations in patients with pachydermoperiostosis pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39878145/ #raredisease #pseudoacromegaly #pachydermoperiostosis
