You don't need to be a doctor to see that NHS strikes are a symptom of a desperately demoralised workforce - made worse by the relentless erosion of real terms pay. If you ignore this, @RishiSunak @SteveBarclay @Jeremy_Hunt, you're willing the NHS fail. https://t.co/DA4XGBJqIa

As someone who took the step in 2016, I know there needs to be more resources for #Doctors taking what can seem like a massive jump. #MedTwitter #NHS #HCSM

So proud to have been involved in this project with @clarkRoseEmma. A great space for our postgraduate doctors in training. @MPHAcademy @anna_annabav #Wellbeing #restspace
Our 'doctors mess' - used by postgraduate doctors in training for breaks during their long shifts - has recently been given a full make-over. The new space is a relaxing environment, so they can look after their own wellbeing while they care for others 💙

Been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to take on senior management and education roles at @SomersetFT. You don’t need a CCT to progress your career if you have the right team behind you. @petra_jankowska @Mikewalburn2 @MPHAcademy

Lots of newly qualified doctors come and talk to me about their options if they leave training. #SASByChoice #SASweek22
