100% of coffee shops at the Greener Radiology Group’s various base hospitals are accepting reusable coffee cups again. If you’re a radiologist with a coffee addiction (yeah, yeah!), it’s time to get back to reusables.

What a complete disaster 👇 on your watch @sajidjavid @RishiSunak Unless you get a grip on ridiculously unfair punitive pension tax issue senior docs will be running to the exit at a rapidly increasing rate You fixed this for judges, fix it for us RT if agree #taxunregistered
@RobJimFleming @surashsurash Indeed and as of this week, the NHS is another GP down - my wife has resigned following a huge tax bill caused by being an efficient practice and helping the government deliver on the vaccination programme.

@RCRadiologists @sajidjavid @DHSCgovuk It really isn't JUST about "investing in workforce"- that's a long term strategy that take many years to train more consultants. They urgently need to address the barriers to working more & retiring later i.e. sort out punitive pension taxation to improve retention

We welcome @SajidJavid’s plan to tackle the elective backlog with an NHS recovery plan. But any plan requires significant investment in workforce, updating out of date equipment and IT. We look forward to working with @DHSCgovuk to set out how we can help tackle the backlog.
BREAKING: NHS elective backlog Recovery plan foresees two more years of waiting list growth Plan commits NHS to: * Ensuring list falling by March 2024 * 2-year waiters target pushed back from March to July 2022 * Eliminate 52-week breaches by March 2025 £ https://t.co/51Mw1I9cOF

Great to see climate and sustainability questions being asked of candidates for the role of RCR president, and climate and sustainability getting a mention as priority areas by more than one candidate.
It doesn't matter who you choose or what order you rank in. What matters is exercising your franchise. Still reading the answers to the Q&A before finally making my mind up. Lots of probing questions from Fellows and members. Worth a look if you haven't already seen them.

"We welcome this renewed focus on early diagnostics and innovative treatments. Diagnostic scanning is crucial to winning the war on cancer, but there’s no quick fix." Read our President @JeanetteRCR's full response to @DHSCgovuk 10-year 'war on cancer':
Cancer remains the biggest cause of death from disease in the UK. Today we are launching a new call for evidence to underpin an ambitious 10-year cancer plan for England. This will focus on: ▶️ early diagnosis ▶️ innovative cancer treatment 🗣️ Have your say #WorldCancerDay
