Reflecting on the morning weather Have we lost our sense of community and civic duty? Cars stuck, no one going anywhere, grit bins close yet only two were willing to get busy with a solution. Do we need to do more for our neighbours or society to make things better for all?

Is @mstewart_23 hungry @BBCSportScot He seems particularly irritating today! Has tried to start at least 3 pointless arguments on #openallmics


It is rather disgraceful #inverness Maybe time for some investment in community services across the board to minimise these types of behaviours? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


Not surprised by this given the decision to remove vaccinations from #teamGP in Scotland. A central-belt centric GP contract not fit for purpose! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

National Service Piers Morgan🗣️ What about the Nations service to our 18yr olds? What they’ve been through. A Gen that lost the best years of their lives. They can’t afford to rent. Can’t afford food. Punitive tuition fees. Probably won’t earn more than their parents… #bbcqt


Happy #InternationalNursesDay It’s a pleasure to work alongside fantastic nurses - ANPs, Practice nurses and community nurses. Primary Care wouldn’t function without their dedication to their patients 🫡 To @JaimeJMMcNab - a true inspirational leader and QN ❤️


At #teamGP ES workshop today. Sad that Scot Gov and NES pulling funding for valuable F2F workshops to allow attendance. Discriminating against our wonderful R&R GPs who have had to fund the many hours of travel. So much for protecting R&R general practice!


If half as much effort was made to retain trained doctors, would it have come to this? Increasing satisfaction within the medical profession, valuing hard work and dedication is best way to save our #NHS and patient safety The Govt is dedicated in destroying this institute!

Extremely disappointing that Peers have tonight waved through legislation that will blur the lines between PAs and doctors, with potentially dangerous consequences for patients. We thank Peers who urged Government to heed the warnings of the medical profession.



Caught myself saying to a patient today: ‘It’s not a good time to need the NHS.’ Sad state of affairs when a large chunk of your list in #teamGP is people on a waiting list with worsening symptoms We need to save #NHS yet our political system is intent on destroying it


'The watchdog also claimed there was no "overall vision" for the future of the health service.' #AuditScotland Start a conversation now or we are going to lose our #NHS @BMAScotland bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…


🤦‍♂️just when I thought they were only incompetent... Watch as #NHS Health & Social Care crumbles to nothing as the Tories sit back and destroy our country one policy after another! We have seen #nurses and #medstudent numbers plummet...Who is going to look after you? 🤷‍♂️

Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants. This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration 👇

I think #MedTwitter needs reminding of this tonight. I am so proud to be a @QNI_Scotland #QueensNurse. I worked hard for the title and it has hugely changed my working practices. Seeing other professionals taking a swipe at this title is upsetting and frankly a bit pathetic!

Quite an apt username @ExplosiveEnema2 for someone who spouts so much 💩 The level of arrogance is astounding! #MedTwitter is one of most unsupportive and toxic areas of social media. In a time where we need to be together, the constant barrage of abuse is unreal.

Did you think "Queens Nurse" was an accolade? Perhaps bestowed by Royalty for particularly outstanding service? Apparently not! Then again, the adoption of grand titles to elevate yourself appears to be the Modus Operandi of a certain cohort of faux leaders

Very scary! 😳 Grateful to be practicing in Scotland. It’s by no means perfect, in fact far from it, but these stats re NHSE are terrifying

How has the NHS faired under the Conservative Government This is a must watch To blame NHS England leaders / Government Ministers They must be held accountable

AfC banding isn't a force for good. It encourages people who are excellent at a job, to apply for positions they are not excellent at because trusts cannot pay individuals better for doing what they do well. Good ward nurse? Sorry you have to do management to earn more.


Civility Saves Lives Whether that be in person, on the phone or on social media Lots of personal and vile posts on #MedTwitter recently There is a lot going on in multiple fields…but let’s stay civil!

Observing some interactions on X over past few days. Kindness between professionals is a must - we are ultimately a big team and will of course at time have frictions & learn from these, but let’s not forget our colleagues are human.

Two yellow cards in the group stages of the League Cup v Inverness and Bonnyrigg Rose has cost him a place in the Liverpool squad for a trip to the Emirates, such a weird sentence that is.

Please watch this video. When I need to call out a plumber I’m grateful to pay £40/h because I don’t have the first clue how to fix my boiler, or the skills to fix a burst pipe. Doctors are asking for half of that, to fix your kids.
