My hot takes on that “doctors want a work-life balance” article are (1) actually a life is good / burnout is bad and (2) why in the name of God did I read the comments?
Taking shameless advantage of needing to travel through London to get home from #SAMBrighton, and have brought myself out to see @WWTAOnStage.
My “early session” at #SAMBrighton: a wee run into the sunrise and a pain au chocolat on the beach. You’d think they’d got the sky to show off for us.
It’s oddly affirming to be at #sambrighton, hearing from amazing colleagues that everywhere’s on fire and we’re all struggling. This morning feels like it’s given us permission to exhale, just for a minute.

Recurrent reminders on World Mental Health day at #SAMBrighton that all of us medical starlings need to be happy and mentally healthy in order to cohesively murmurate like this lovely lot, to provide excellent care for our patients and keep coming to work every day.

“One thing I love about this conference is that for one day in my life I don’t have to explain what Acute Medicine actually is”

Yes, as we all know, Lin-Manuel Miranda famously wrote the lyric “there is suffering too terrible to name” to best capture the light and upbeat nature of — *checks notes* — a child bereavement plotline.

A whole month ago. There’s a whole series of photos from the #GNR where you just see me trying to deal with the combination of relentless pishing rain and wearing glasses, but there’s also this: the first finish line photo of me I’ve ever liked.

And thanks to @RCPEdin for making all events accessible to medical student members at reduced/no fee. A great example for other Royal Colleges to improve access to education
In the airport today I saw the big transparent box of No Obviously You Can’t Bring That On A Plane, Have You Lost Your Mind, and I have some questions for the multiple people who casually chucked a kitchen knife into their hand luggage.
It took a lot of inner swearing and a bit of finding of my inner Zen, and the route to and from the airport is now quite frankly engraved on my very soul, but myself *and* my luggage have arrived in Bucharest.
It’s a beautiful morning in Amsterdam, or at least what I saw of it from the windows as I raced through Schiphol.
It is 5:05am in Glasgow Airport, and I’m looking for a hands up from all the formerly overachieving teenagers who now channel all that energy into being adult women who are Good At Airport Security. You are my people.
Sent this to my aunt from the start queue. The glamour of distance running. #GNR
I’ll never stop being amazed by how the people of the North East pull together to make the #GNR happen. GNR staff and volunteers, local heroes with snacks and high fives, St John’s and @NEAmbulance, the @My_Metro staff, and many more. You all make me so proud to be a Geordie.
