Can we book MP appointments online?
Many more people are now booking GP appointments online. We're saying goodbye to the 8am scramble and hello to an NHS working better for patients. Patient satisfaction is going back up under Labour. Still more to do, but we are building an NHS fit for the future.

An updated FDA org chart from @biospace: nearly 90% of senior leaders who were at the FDA a year ago are no longer there. Most FDA employees are usually "career staff" who worked for multiple FDA commissioners & years of training to be knowledgeable incl cell & gene therapies.

I am one of the ones who chose to leave. There are many others like me

If the previous Government hadn't eroded the terms & conditions for doctors for so long, & by so much there wouldn't be any strikes Before this protracted saga the last time there was a doctor strike was before the author of the post ⬇️ & I were born The stalling is pitiful
The militant BMA are asking for a 20% pay rise, having just had a 29% pay rise. They now strike every few months because Wes caved on day one. He's too busy plotting against the PM to get a grip. It’s chaos, chaos, chaos from this Government. Conservatives will ban doctor

Not a unique problem to the NIH, the playbook has been copied elsewhere Almost verbatim PhD and Cell paper in the last century = tenure, power and influence in perpetuity it seems
The public has no idea that U.S. biomedical research is run by an aging elite who captured the NIH system decades ago. A huge share of NIH funding goes to elderly investigators who established their careers in the 1980s and 1990s and have coasted on connections ever since. Fauci

This analysis isn't about UK academia - but it might as well be Aging PIs retain massive labs long after most productive years Subsidized through indirects & internal slush funds Trainees = disposable workers in an oversaturated job market Cronyism dictates who gets resources
This is a small window into the rot of the modern biomedical system. This NPR segment gets it completely backwards. We’re told that a breast cancer researcher at Harvard is losing a third of her staff because of funding cuts. What the story doesn’t say: she is 76 years old,

This is an excellent opportunity to advance an early IC career - absolutely no regrets putting my name in the hat Please highlight it to your rising stars
It’s time. 15 years ago @SCAI launched @scaielm with @crfheart & @ACCinTouch to train future leaders in interventional cardiology. It worked. @JDawnAbbott1 will be the first grad to become president! R u next? @sahilparikhmd @NavinKapur4 @DougDrachmanMD @SuzanneJBaron

Universities should be about providing choices Funders and employers should provide options for (all) choices made at university The bigger the initial investment, the more effort to not squander that commitment by individual and institution MD/PHD’s don't grow on trees
The physician–scientist track (MD/PhD) in academic medical centers has become one of the great illusions of modern science - a path that promises to unite medicine and science but rarely fulfills either goal. Training stretches on for years as one person is expected to learn two

Excellent summary of an important concept being tested⬇️
The most anticipated trial at next #TCT2025 is SELUTION DeNovo. So let’s take a closer look. This study represents an important crossroads for drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in de novo lesions, since—apart from small vessels—the results so far have been far from impressive. Let’s

This is why advanced heart failure treatment options will be needed for older adults ⬇️ Fantastic summary thread from @DrDamluji
🥸1️⃣ The U.S. Census Bureau projects the number of Americans aged ≥75 years will double, from 23 million in 2022 to 46 million by 2050. This demographic shift will redefine heart failure (HF) care as aging becomes the dominant driver of cardiovascular disease.

There is plenty of room at the bottom in biology - you just need to know how to use it
Microdispensing at the picoliter scale is redefining precision in science enabling ultra-accurate droplet placement for biotech, diagnostics and electronics. A raindrop ≈ 50 µL is 50 million× larger than a picoliter. https://t.co/qycXJ8b2qw
