Yesterday a patient with ?meningitis, who had been accepted onto a ward with a sideroom by senior sister and consultant, was instead sent to the middle of a bay on a different ward. These decisions are being made every single day in the NHS, against clinician's advice.

When you take into account LTFT, maternity leave etc, training can be a VERY long time and takes up our 20s and 30s. We have to get away from this idea that training is temporary and we just have to get it over and done with. Also, not everybody will be a consultant.

As a Consultant, the remuneration compared to PAs is much better. As I tell my trainees - training is finite. For most, training time is much shorter than time served as a Consultant or GP. Overall earnings will be higher across a career than a PA, the journey is tougher though.

The junior doctors' strikes planned for this month and January will fill trust leaders with dread. This is the toughest time of the year for the NHS and patients will be hit hard. It isnโ€™t too late for the government and unions to resolve the dispute and prevent more strikes.

Sounds like a good idea to implement every day so junior docs can be freed up for training/teaching/skills/portfolio requirements.

Really productive day @barnshospital for our 'Pharmacy Discharge Team' (formed to help facilitate patient flow during the #JuniorDoctorsStrike ). 17 TTO's written by our Pharmacist Prescribers... 29 in total over the last 3 days. Equivalent to a full ward worth of beds! ๐Ÿ‘

Katy works for me. She is single & earns less than 30k, rents a room for ยฃ775pcm in Central London, has student debt, ยฃ120 a month on travelling to work saves money every month, goes on foreign holidays & does not need to use a foodbank. Katy makes my point really well.

Unfortunately this holds true for doctors in training also - I'm an IMT, yet have no clinics, no departmental teaching and little time on take.

When consultants are doing these important ward jobs (discharge letters, seeing referrals, answering ward queries, arranging investigations, reviewing patients overnight), we canโ€™t also do our normal busy jobs.

Is there even such a thing as getting a patient "sorted" nowadays? How long do we stay? 24 hours? A week? A month?

Genuinely being put off medicine by the amount of shit we get landed with that isn't a medical problem.

At today's midwife appointment I had a BP of 98/60 and leukocytes in my urine. How long until I was labelled as urosepsis if I was in hospital?

@ollieburtonmed @Xeon4f145d96s1 To see someone having set clinics and theatre time 2 years post graduation when doctors much further down the line have to fight for these opportunities is just disappointing

Yeah I recently had a snarky comment for going for lunch at almost 2pm instead of doing a non urgent TTO. I continued on to lunch.

So when we see people with half of our experience scheduled for clinics/theatres/procedures, showing it can be done, then yes it's frustrating but nothing ever changes despite these issues being raised.

The work isn't fairly distributed though is it? As an IMT I've mostly been used for ward cover with limited take time (unless I argue for it), no scheduled clinics, no scheduled procedural experience, deanery teaching I can't attend >50% of the time due to on calls.

My work life balance and mental health are so much better as a locum that honestly, the thought of a training programme just fills me with dread.
