#HappyFriday Huge shoutout to RCEM Member Lottie. She's shared how her team celebrated #EmergencyMedicineDay with a competition for the best #EMJoke with RCEM Merch prizes! 🦸 Then, the week after, Lottie and her team in Countess of Chester ED did a 5k Inflatable Run together

It has been 3 months, they still have not paid me. I feel so defeated, I just want to be paid for the work I did. If there were any criminal issues, how could they have let me work in psych for 4 months? If anyone has any advice on how I should approach this, pls let me know

I tried to fight them on this, because I do not want to work with them ever, I simply want to be paid for the locum shift I did. Now, they are asking me for an overseas police check, because I haven't lived in the UK for 10 years.

What I didnt realise was that I had to apply to that trust as a bank doctor to be paid. I didn't know until after the shift. I went through the whole application process, ID checks, occu health, they made me do a DBS check.

📣 RSV vaccination programme announced! 📣#CampaignWin This is a crucial step to protect children’s health & reduce pressure on the NHS during winter. Thank you to the 2,000+ paediatricians & healthcare professionals who signed our open letter & helped make this happen.

Hear from Professor Dame Jenny Harries, who dropped into last week's #HealthEquityLiverpoolProject learning event to hear about the successful ways that Community Innovation Teams have been tackling health inequalities in their local area. ⬇️

VIDEO | We were delighted to welcome @UKHSA Chief Executive, Dr Jenny Harries, to discover the work @LiverpoolPH have been doing with partners @CentralLpoolPCN @LSTMnews to drive up childhood vaccination rates. #ImprovingLiverpool @DPH_MAshton | @UKHSA_NorthWest | @NHSCandM

Every winter we see our services at breaking point due to illnesses caused by viruses such as RSV. An RSV vaccination programme could be transformative. We need your help to persuade the UK Government to make this a reality. Sign our open letter today! https://t.co/jLHs6L2NS5

I'm an A&E consultant and I'm tired after a weekend of nights. But this am, I've handed over what I described as a "good department". This was said genuinely and with no hint of irony. We provided great care and have very short waits to see an A&E doctor, but I'd forgotten how

Lots of great laughs and great learning

Thankful for the opportunity to present a poster on how closed-loop tech has applications in #anaesthesia & #intensivecaremedicine Great conference by The Liv Society of Anaesthetists & the Mersey School of Anaesthesia. Beautiful venue @RCPspaces. @TheCountessNHS @MedEdChester

What if being a doctor was less about arrogance and more about humility? And being a patient was less about deference and more about agency? It's time to reboot and upgrade the role of doctors & patients for the 21st century for better care and addressing health inequalities.

#PoweringUp has lift off! Working together with @uclh and @Bham_Childrens, the project aims to address the stark #inequalities in adolescent health care with creative co-production with young people.

Well done to Liverpool John Moores University, University of Liverpool and Edge Hill University, winners of the Tackling Health Inequalities award! 🎉🎉🎉 #NWCAwards @NIHRCRN_nwcoast @arc_nwc @edgehill @LivUni @LJMU

Stopped by @LSTMnews to say hi to @Amina_Ismail22 & @MiriamTaegtmeye. Proud to have been part of the initial vaccine equity project & amazing to see how it's extended to various health equity issues relating to chilhood vaccines, breast & cervical screening across Liverpool.

"We need to be better at linking environmental health with human health" @wheezylikesund1 and Jennifer Quint talk to @DrHollyKeir about how the latest ERS Monograph – Inequalities in Respiratory Health – can be used as a force for positive change https://t.co/tSlb6F7KFo

An eye-opening article by @SebJGray on how health inequalities & poverty influence the trajectory of childhood asthma, with some key points on how to tackle this. A must-read for all clinicians caring for children & young people #HealthInequalities #SDCH #FOAMed #asthma ⬇️

As more children fall prey to the dangerous trend of vaping, we need to take action to protect their health. Countries like Australia, Singapore & Thailand have banned recreational vaping and it's time for the UK to follow suit. #BanDisposableVapes

I shared a platform with @JohnCarnochan. We agreed that the social determinants of health and the social determinants of crime overlapped. He told me about this programme. So impressive. Proportionate universalism.

The UK is the worst place to be poor: the richest 10% spend 6% on energy bills as in France but the poorest 10% spend almost 18% on energy compared with 10% of the poorest in France @MichaelMarmot #AllTogetherFairerCM
