Powerful and ever relevant quote from Sir Alexander Fleming (1945). #antibiotics #bacteria #resistance
Ken Calman was the person responsible for the first overhaul of medical training in the early 1990s. Much of what was proposed was good. But 30 years on, the questions raised have not been answered. Nor the fallout fully dealt with. So let's dissect the original report. 🧵 1/
Sir Kenneth Calman was an outstanding Chief Medical Officer for Scotland and then England. He was a great leader and reformer in public health and academia as well as undertaking wider public service. He was also a lovely man, courteous to all. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
What an inspiring story. @BCSWIC heartandstroke.ca/articles/inter…
“When (Resident) doctors can see that they are being paid significantly less and being treated significantly worst than they used to be, then something has to give.” Tonight @RossNieuwoudt spoke to @LBC ahead of strike action across England this week👇 #PayRestoration
The sad irony being that full pay restoration for resident doctors would cost less than this. At just £1.3bn approx if you did it overnight. And to be clear, @BMAResidents aren’t even asking for it overnight. They’re happy to negotiate a journey via a multiyear deal. #WinWin
Doctors are fleeing the NHS. Every year, 20 000 doctors are leaving the profession prematurely - many because their pay no longer reflects the weight of the job. The real question isn’t whether we can afford to pay doctors. It’s whether we can afford the cost of losing them.

Incidentally, I wrote this in the BMJ about celebrity calls for PSA screening a while back. bmj.com/content/387/bm…. it won a prize from the @RoyalStatSoc last week.
This is how @gilescoren decides to respond to polite and evidence based challenge about him misleading men with inaccurate advice about PSA testing.
