My Dad was only 20 years old when was killed in Normandy in August 1944 two months before I was born.
He was younger than three of my grandchildren are now.
He has always been a hero to me.

I don't want to shame any particular woman here, but publicly announcing that the #RussellBrand conviction must be wrong because you went home with him and he didn't rape you makes about as much sense as saying 'well, I left 25 Cromwell Street alive, so Fred West's innocent.'

Well done Saudi Arabia.

This statement contradicts Dr Aldwan’s bio, in which she emphasises “free speech”.

Just to showcase how far down the rabbit hole some of the Royal Colleges (in this case @RCoANews), along with @NHSE_WTE @NHSEngland @gmcuk et al have all gone- on the hubris of idealogy.
Myth 1:
There isn't enough doctors to do the job.
Fact:
In the context of anaethesia?
The competition ratio for Anaesthetics CT1 in the NHS is 10.54:1 for the 2026 Round 1 recruitment cycle (5,766 applications for 547 posts)
AFTER removing those pesky foreigners aka IMGs (as far as I am aware)
Myth 2:
There isn't enough money to hire doctors
Fact:
Look at recent job advert for a Physicians Assistant (Anaesthesia)
Salary & Pay Scale: NHS Agenda for Change Band 7 (£55,524 - £62,652 per annum)
Above doesn't factor in cost of supervision via a Senior Consultant
Riddle me this.
What is the feasible reason to have these roles when you have trained doctors (NOT foreigners)- done at cost to tax payer to do the role?
It makes no clinical, financial or policy sense.
Yet?
Here we are.
Pontificating why NHS is non-productive or has safety issues - wherever you look.
I repeat to all.
Do NOT do to others you wouldn't want to do to your loved ones.
@RoyLilley @JanetEastham @lengreview @KamranAbbasi @DrNatBroughton @YvetteCooperMP
THIS is the question.
Let me take it one step further.
Your most loved one is due to have surgery.
You have a choice as to who 'puts them to sleep for the procedure'- and then 'wakes them up'.
1. It's either a trained Anaesthetist aka a Doctor
2. Or a Physician Assistant in Anaesthesia aka Not a Doctor
The answer to me is obvious.
Not in bazillion years should it be number 2.
If you @NHSEngland @NHSE_WTE actually believe in 'Informed Choice'?
Inform them properly- not dupe them with made up titles.
What a two tier system we have descended to.
I repeat- do NOT do to others what you won't do to your loved ones.

I'm able to take on just one or two more pre-orders for my nature jewellery before I close my🎄order book. They're detailed casts of real flowers such as snowdrops and lily of the valley, nature finds such as feathers & tiny sculptures of much-loved bird species.I make each piece by hand.
A RT would help *so* much, thankyou 🌿🪶:

I’ve now had several orders for my casts of flowers & tiny bird necklaces. Thankyou SO much for your retweets and kind words, they’ve helped my confidence no end today xx🌿🪶🐚🪸
l’ve had no orders for my nature jewellery collection. I know they’re expensive but the materials for each cost £70 or more & I can’t charge nothing for several hours’ making time on each piece. They used to sell out.

Can tell consultants have voted to strike by the rabid pearl clutching by certain accounts. Anyone attempting to argue doctors shouldn't be paid well AND have at least inflation added to their pay every year can, frankly, get in the bin. Fully support my consultant colleagues.

See you on the picket line
Consultants don’t want to strike, but after 18 months without formal negotiations, they cannot wait any longer.
These strikes are planned to take place on 25 and 26 November, with Christmas Day levels of cover provided. There is still time for the Government to make progress.

JK Rowling has just written a beautiful essay that I will link to below. This paragraph holds no punches:
“Large numbers of women who’ve never been poor, who’ve never worked the kind of job where they’d be vulnerable to predatory men and who’ve never needed a r*pe crisis centre have spent the last few years vilifying members of their own sex for fighting to retain their hard-won rights and single-sex spaces, in ways that have shocked and disgusted me. I freely confess that I feel an extra layer of abhorrence for any woman who claims to be a feminist while doing it.”

If physician associates are able to train in "medicine" and are magically able to see patients independently in two years - why does it take doctors 5 to 6 years medical degree and 10 years postgraduate training before achieving independence?
We have to decide whether we want a safe healthcare service delivered by fully trained doctors or go back to a free for all where anyone can practice medicine with a cursory level of knowledge/ training and do away with medical degrees / medical training
It's like living in a parallel universe where simultaneously you need over 15 years of training to be considered safe as a doctor but anyone else can do a simple course and get stuck in.
Allowing physician assistants to see undifferentiated patients would be irresponsible and poorly evidenced, says @TheBMA's Tom Dolphin
He warns that vague guidelines on supervision fail to address the safety concerns that have been repeatedly raised
