& @sarahaftonrae too! 🤩

"Scope of practice is not a matter of red, amber, green'. Well, it is for doctors! I supervise 2 Anaes trainees. I literally have to choose: Red - needs direct supervison Amber - indirect supervison Green - capable of independent practicn

Yet they’re perfectly happy for thousands of doctors to be unable to get into their chosen specialty because of artificial bottlenecks?!! Why can’t they bring the same compassion to their own profession?

Imagine. Spending 5/6 years of your life studying Medicine. Stressing over countless exams. Ensuring you're good and safe enough to be a doctor. Coming out with £100k student loan debts. Then, get told you are RANDOMLY allocated your first doctor job ANYWHERE in the country.

**GP hubs will only have ONE GP** ALL other staff managing patients will be NON-doctors. The “Care coordinator” triaging will NOT be a doctor & will decide who sees you (likely NON-doctor) It’s here, it’s been enforced & it’s happening from NEXT MONTH! 🚨 SOS NHS 🚨

@Parody_RCGP @mouseter_chef I can’t believe it either - I feel numb with shock. I’ve only got GP work booked for another 3 weeks, then nada. Loads of experienced GPs also being replaced by people without medical degrees?! Genuinely WTF is happening. We’ve been sold down the river

Delighted and relieved to say that I have passed MRCP Part 1, with 100% in Dermatology 🤪🤩 #mrcppart1

With upheaval on X (formerly Twitter), what does this mean for the online dermatologist community? What direction are we going in? Is it time to reflect? Read our letter in @Derm_Journal - written earlier this year & published today #dermtwitter https://t.co/4mOPUWwx1h

It’s #WorldPsoriasisDay. Psoriasis is a skin condition that can cause flaky patches of skin which form scales. The severity of the condition varies greatly from person to person. Here we explain why it happens and what treatment may help: https://t.co/gltbwAzQnL

Junior doctors and consultants will be taking joint strike action in England during September and October. Watch @_VivekTrivedi @RobLaurensonD4P @Vish_Sharm explain why we’re standing together. #DoctorsStrike

On picket lines across England, junior doctors are today standing up for fair pay and the future of our profession. #DoctorsStrike Watch @ERunswickBMA explain why 👇

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow? Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already. Why? 🧵 👇

#BAD2023 I had a great day at the BAD Annual Meeting, and it was a pleasure to present our audit on post-dermatologic surgery complications within NHS Lothian at the @BSDS_Official e-poster walk. Thank you also to Dr Rice for being the best mentor! 🤩 #dermatology #choosederm
