Since there has been quite a bit of chat about on-call etiquette, I thought it appropriate to share an email I have just sent regarding contacting registrars.
Doctors in Kenya have been striking for a month now. “Doctors are striking over a number of issues, including pay and the failure to hire trainee doctors, who cannot qualify without getting an intern position.” Sound familiar? bbc.co.uk/news/world-afr…
How do the anti-medication people of the world propose we treat active psychosis? Just curious about this. Yes, we do family therapy, CBT for Psychosis and others. But they’re just not going to cut it when patients think they can fly and are climbing out the window.
You know the commute is going badly when the SatNav says the fastest route involves going halfway to London…
I read many tweets (rightly) talking about the positives of being neurodivergent. What I never seem to see is people talk about the reality of living with severe (including non-verbal) autism.
Nothing quite like being woken by a Apache flying overhead…. 😳
💥 NHS STAFF 💥 Please consider signing this open letter to @VictoriaAtkins & @AmandaPritchard at @NHSEngland expressing your dismay at their extraordinary decision to cut @NHSPracHealth funding for hospital staff. Please share widely 🙏 Letter here: forms.gle/YmXpi8dxSbW7UR…
I've just signed up for this course. It looks very interesting and also, you know, @rcpsych hasn't already had enough of my money... 😉 @subodhdave1 rcpsych.ac.uk/events/confere…
Why should displaced people be obliged to live in a branded tent like this?
