We're very much still on paper notes...
In the NHS of the future, you may never need a doctor or nurse, says NHS England chair Penny Dash. Smartphone care, AI and robotics will transform the medical system, and automate entire patient pathways she believes: thetimes.com/article/d408694ā¦
I'm interested to see more of the detail, but based solely on this I'd be inclined to support the deal. Seems to be a pragmatic way forward, and if the situation changes a year from now, there's no reason not to consider strike action at that time...
At the last moment, ahead of next weekās action, the Government has moved and made a new offer for resident doctors in England.
Strikes for 15ā19 June have been called off while members vote on a new offer covering jobs, pay and progression.
The choice is yours:
Vote YES and accept the offer, or vote NO and return to escalated industrial action.
Would love to see someone come into Government with the boldness to make the investments this country so desperately needs. Put the money into healthcare that it needs. Equip the armed forces properly. Lead the world on net zero. The managed decline is soul destroying...
Thrilled to have been offered, and accepted, a CT1 anaesthetics job. It's been an up-and-down year already that's for sure!

Next time you wait 12 hours to be seen by a doctor in A&E, remember that 14 doctors applied to treat you.
Doctors are unemployed, and cannot find work, whilst patients wait longer.
Why are resident doctors going on strike?Ā
While patients wait longer to be seen in A&E, too many qualified doctors who could treat them canāt get a training job.
ALT A line graph shows a decreased percentage of patients seen in A&E within four hours, over ten years, compared with the increasing number of applications per Emergency Medicine training jobs.
When Iām sober, the idea of using the public transport of an unfamiliar city (especially abroad) is terrifying. However, once Iāve had a few drinks Iām apparently unstoppable

Heading to a wedding today after finishing my week of nights, so Iād say the odds are pretty high that all itās going to take is one glass of fizz and Iāll be asleep in the corner by 4pm
Made the move up to the North East today, ready to start work next week. If anyone has any recommendations of place to go or things to do around Newcastle, Iām looking forward to getting stuck into a new city
Incredibly proud to have graduated from the University of Nottingham as Dr Daniel Taylor BM BS (hons) MEng (hons) š©ŗ
Woken up after my first night in the Caribbean to find out Iāve passed all of my Medical School finals and Iām going to be Dr Daniel Taylor BMBS MEng šØš»āāļøš©ŗ canāt say it feels real just yet!
After four years of work, I canāt believe that Iāve now finished my Medical School finals! In a few weeks Iāll find out if I get to be a doctor, it doesnāt seem real yet
Iāve avoided making comment on this so far, but this is patently ridiculous. PAs & AAs are *not* medically trained. Theyāre *not* medical professionals. If they want to practice medicine, they should go to medical school. This ambiguity is unsafe for patients. This canāt go on.
š§µThe updated #GoodMedicalPractice2024 uses the term āmedical professionalsā as a collective term for doctors, physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs), rather than listing out each individual role for every reference. We haven't removed doctors from the standards.
The majority of our communications, including direct correspondence to patients and others about regulatory matters, will always be tailored to refer to each role individually
