The themes in this thread are common across all specialities, and in many other aspects of clinical leadership. If clinical leadership is truly valued then it needs to be nurtured and supported. Otherwise it’s empty rhetoric, with clinicians paying the price.
Today is my last day as Head of Severn School of Radiology. This has been the best job of my career so far and a real privilege to support our radiology residents through their training. A few reflections on educational leadership follow. 🧵 1/10.

NHS data for England today tells a familiar story. It’s summer. The days are long outside, but even longer if you are inside waiting for a bed, or doing your best for patients, in one of our EDs. Our policy team have added to the flourish slides @RCollEM.

Stepping down as @BASICSdevon trustee after (ahem) years, part of clearing decks. Charities like @BASICS_HQ need committed trustees like my colleagues here. If you have relevant skills to offer, and are looking to contribute to the charity sector, consider your local scheme.

It was a pleasure to be in Parliament for this launch and to meet Dr Allin-Khan. Along with other strong advocates for the provision of decent Emergency Care.
Last week, I was proud to launch the @APPGEmgcyCare in Parliament. With over 16,600 lives lost last year due to long A&E waits, we must ensure emergency care is at the front of Government plans to improve our NHS. I am pleased to be working with @RCollEM to demand change.
