🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training. At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from @RCoANews

I'm asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a pic. No description. The goal is to regain peace and harmony without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures. Here's mine

Not the whole story, of course, but highlights some of the key issues to be addressed if our NHS is to be fit for the future, & in a way we can be proud of. Can’t just keep relying on incredible staff to do more, with less bbc.co.uk/news/health-64…

I enjoyed that!

Wonderful closing session from the inspiring @SteveBartlettSC being grilled by @OrchardMark and a talking point question from our @mscazss too! @HFMA_UK #HFMA2022 #remarkablefinance #StrengthInNumbers

Why we need older persons SDEC to work, why we need more therapists, why we need more staff to support getting patients out of bed, why we need improved community care. 😔

Deconditioning - huge impact from delayed discharge
