I’m very pleased to announce our publication in the latest edition of @bmj_latest We hope this Endgames article will help raise the awareness of @OvarianCancerUK and hopefully trigger clinicians to think of it as a differential diagnosis earlier leading to better outcomes.

Dentist (annual check up) today cost £13.75 per minute. Yes you read that right PER MINUTE. Almost same as an F1 Dr earns PER HOUR. 6 year medical degree and £100,000 student loan at 7.5% Ex-NHS dentist charges ≈ 6000% NHS Dr rate. Brace yourself for £££££ private Drs fees!

@ollieburtonmed @RCRadiologists Maybe we should make clinical fellow/F3 roles - an awful lot safer and unbelievably cheaper hiring F3 doctors than physician assistants/associates in radiology

Given his advocacy for PAs, I find it curious that in 2016 he decided to incorporate: "NEST EGG CAPITAL & PROPERTY LETTINGS LTD" And guess what he put as his occupation.... "Physician" 2/3
