Incredible day! #Classof2025 #newdoctors Our 400 final year medical students have all become doctors. We are so very proud of them. Most started uni during Covid, navigated a changing curriculum and were the first cohort to do the GMC MLA exam....good luck with everything.

@davidnnaumann @UHNM_NHS we now do all our “simple” abscesses using Penthrox (Green Whistle) on our SSDEC. Done over 300 with massive savings for the Trust in terms of bed days and theatre time. Excellent patient feedback and outcomes. https://t.co/yBHxiTmVDN happy to share experience Dave.

The best career choice,one of the most rewarding, challenging & emotive but a deserving group of individuals to look after. It’s never less than a privilege medics/HCPs who look after older people have a geriatrician hidden inside of you,embrace it❤️ @GeriSoc

Today we’re launching #ChooseGeriatrics – our new campaign which celebrates the variety and rewards of working in older people’s healthcare. Find out more and how to get involved! 👇 https://t.co/GYOUEN8FmR
