Could you afford your treatment without the NHS? We must put a stop to the creeping privatisation of health services in the UK. Please repost if you agree.

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral. You know what to do.

If you are a practicing oncologist who turfs goals of care conversations to the palliative care team then itโ€™s time to find a new job.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too ๐Ÿ™

In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

How to undermine medical professionalism: 1) Atomise professional practice into tasks 2) Hive off tasks to other groups of workers 3) Blur the regulatory boundaries of doctors & said workers 4) Remove entrance criteria to the profession Voila! #MedicineIsNotASetOfTasks

What does it mean that NHS employers will set applicant criteria for medical school? Getting into Medical School is a serious business. Who goes to medical school is for universities to decide. NOT local employers. Who have zero accountability. educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2024/02/05/nhsโ€ฆ

Education Fellowship @uclh from Aug 2025. Joint with NHSE 50% clinical 50% education. Open to residents in the London School of Anaesthesia, who have passed their Primary FRCA. jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobaโ€ฆ


As a doctor interested in education, I can only agree. Professionalism has been replaced by tasks, box ticking, and reductionist 'competencies' which never recapitulate the 'whole' of what it means to be a medical professional. We denigrate professionalism at our peril.

Medical (doctor) training in the United Kingdom needs a significant overhaul. Doctors need to learn how to doctor. We arenโ€™t teaching that anymore, no thanks to the progressive โ€œtaskificationโ€ promoted by #MedEd.

In 2022, โฆ@ic_MDSโฉ issued a statement highlighting negative consequences of having 2 classifications for #MDSsm, we then took to action & developed a data-driven, harmonized classification system. Every system has shortfalls, but we need ONE system sciencedirect.com/science/articlโ€ฆ

Recurrent deletions of an inert genomic region in FTO releases a โ€˜promoter tetherโ€™ enabling a potent oncogene to interact with a distal super-enhancer - an intriguing mechanism of IRX3 activation in T-ALL. Please see thread of our new work led by the brilliant @minimolecule : ๐Ÿ‘‡

Focal deletions of noncoding regions in cancer genomes can have unexpected consequences. Out now in @BloodJournal, weโ€™ve discovered an intriguing mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal deletion of a โ€˜promoter tetherโ€™ leads to aberrant expression of IRX3 in T-ALL. Thread๐Ÿ‘‡
