8. When you become a group leader- use your privilege. Support younger academics both within / outwith your group. Support women / academics from developing countries where barriers have traditionally been much higher. Being senior author when you have hundreds of papers wont…

I commissioned an independent review led by someone with expertise and, crucially, without pre-determined views to follow the evidence. The review was the consultation. The Leng Review listened to the breadth of workforce opinion and management, too.

The free food @wesstreeting is promising Resident Doctors.

Doctors DON’T have a final salary pension Doctors DON’T get their exams paid for Doctors DON’T get overtime Doctors DON’T get their equipment paid for Doctors DO pay for their own training Doctors DO pay for their own stationary Doctors DO earn less now than 2008 in real terms

Or don’t d**k around and just intubate? Many ways to Rome.

Given this is the 2nd Nuffield Trust “explainer” that starts the clock at 2010, ignoring significant pay erosion that started in 2008, I can only conclude this is politically motivated.

Hi @wesstreeting. You keep suggesting you want to meet the BMA to discuss non-monetary, non-pay linked policies as a means to end the RD strikes. My question is, why aren’t you doing this anyway?

The Queensland Difficult Airway Alert Project commenced in response to two critical airway incidents. The aim - to ⬇️ complications in patients with an unanticipated difficult airway by improving communication/documentation statewide. #Anaesthesia #Airway #MedTwitter…

Looking at @TheBHF funded researchers list, it is great to see the diversity in PhD Studentships and Fellowships for nurses, however, I find it a bit concerning that CRTF funding seems to only go to male cardiologists. @BCSWIC @WomenCardiology bhf.org.uk/for-profession…

Here's a humdinger.... "Assessing the incidence of ‘can see, cannot intubate easily’ during routine use of C-MAC videolaryngoscopy." Is it a real problem - with a MacVL - with a HAVL Well basically no! Another cracking science letter from the team @anaesthesia @Fionafionakel…

My 6 year old throws more constructive tantrums than this Every time @UMAPsUK issues a press release it makes the ongoing employability & feasibility of assistants more problematic It really is time PA’s found a constructive spokesperson to work with the medical profession

Here is my two cents on the Leng Review. As has been pointed out by others, it is a masterpiece of neutrality and diplomacy. Full of hedging and circumlocution. Not definitive. Written to be spun in every single way. The short-term recommendations are strong enough: 1/

There is ⬆️ arterial line use with ⬆️ ASA physical status ASA 1 - 2% ASA 2 - 6% ASA 3 - 19% ASA ≥ 4 - 45% BUT of ASA ≥ 4: • 62% aged 36–45 y had arterial monitoring vs. 25% of those aged > 85 y Why? #anaesthesia #MedTwitter doi.org/10.1111/anae.1…

Congratulations to @ERunswickBMA who has been re-elected Deputy Chair of BMA Council

We’ve published our initial response to the Leng Review. We're pleased the review has endorsed the Interim AA Scope of Practice and we support the recommendation to rename the AA role. We will respond in full once Council has discussed the report 👉rcoa.ac.uk/news/initial-r…

When I signed up, we had a final salary pension, pensionable CEA awards, free accommodation on site for year 1 doctors and unemployment among doctors would be beyond anyone’s imagination.
