⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day. ⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023) ⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023). It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

Love the very bones of this young person who had such a disrupted education in Y6/7 due to Covid, was diagnosed autistic in y10 and has had one hell of a few months with her dad leaving us. But she triumphed with 9 fabulous GCSEs and a place in 6th form!! Proud does not come close

Pretty excited for the entire event #GP5TX but this session in particular covers such an important #MedEd hot topic. #MedSky #MedEdSky

ARCP panel always better with a good lunch

Back to work tomorrow after 6 weeks of parental leave GCSE support sabbatical. Will I remember how to be a GP? Here’s hoping because I have a 7am extended access clinic to settle me in! Either way it’ll almost certainly be less stressful than teenager revision angst.

TW: child death This is so beautifully written and I suspect many of us and our colleagues will benefit from reading it. www.ncmd.info/blog/jonatha...

Best feeling as a podcast host to get feedback from listeners! #PoetrySky #MedSky

Spring is definitely springing.

I think #GP5T9 was our best yet. I loved chairing this incredible panel and listening to some wise, insightful and thoughtful answers to some training conundrums. If you missed it, it’s not too late to get your hands on the recordings.

Yesterday at GP5T9 our panel and speakers covered loads of topics, including the SCA and pass rate changes. To find out all the content grab your post recording ticket now as it closes soon: bit.ly/GP5T9

‘All doctors are poets’ Do listen to this gem of a conversation - what a great poem and such an insightful reflection. Am tempted to put pen to paper and do a paediatrician version… Thankyou @tarageorge.bsky.social

Love listening to Ed Pooley. So clear. So much sense. #GP5T9

last minute plug for this which is live tomorrow (or on demand for 12m after) . If you were able to share with colleagues I'd be delighted.whilst primarily for GP trainers there's load there that's applicable for any medical educators and it's a bargain at £40 with 12m on demand access to recordings

A brilliant podcast from @toates.bsky.social talking to the wonderful @tarageorge.bsky.social.

Procrastination second breakfast as I try and fail to finish a presentation for a conference later in the month 😭

#MedEdSky people, have you got your ticket for #GP5T9 yet? Look at what’s on the programme: youtu.be/SREwiNkjNt0

There’s something about a seaside sunset isn’t there?!

Three weeks to go. #MedSky #MedEdSky people have you booked yet? Live on 26/4/25 and on demand for 12 months after. Book here: tinyurl.com/GP5TCPD9

Thoroughly looking forward to this. If you are #MedSky or #MedEdSky please feel free to join us

Last week at a teaching session I got my students making a playlist of the songs they’d each choose to sing along to as a go-to pick me up after a bad/tricky day at work. Such a hilarious eclectic mix of songs. What’s yours #MedSky people? Mine is ALWAYS Enter Sandman by Metallica…

The Cotswolds are really very lovely

Beautiful morning for a walk.

Very sad. So many good doctors driven to either leaving the NHS or taking their own lives.

Word of the day: “furalysis” when you are immobilised by a furry friend

Thoroughly looking forward to this. If you are #MedSky or #MedEdSky please feel free to join us

London bound for a fancy pants lunch with my sister wearing my favourite dress which I know my children hate!!!

#MedSky #MedEdSky would be great to see you at this educator event in April

some really useful learning on veteran's health by the brilliant Dr David Hindmarsh of YouTube GPTemplates featuring the article he wrote for l @rcgp-innovait.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTnv...

So excited to be sharing this. It’s going to be SUCH a great CPD event

Slightly excited to be in the print version of @bjgp.bsky.social

Excellent podcast hosted by @tarageorge.bsky.social, with Dr Zalan Alam, a friend & GP whose insights I’ve appreciated over many years Podcast notes includes a link to the Veteran Friendly Practice scheme, set up by inspirational past Midland Faculty Chair @rcgp.bsky.social Retd Brig Robin Simpson

GP5T9 on 26th April is open for bookings Book here: tinyurl.com/GP5TCPD9 And please do share with #MedEd colleages #MedSky

I've make the decision to stop using X altogether. I'm here, on insta and on Facebook . please do share and comment on my content. It's going to take a while to build up my followers. I had well over 1k on X but need to move forwards using more supportive and ethically acceptable so-me

Are you looking to get (back) into reading in 2025? Have you got a longish commute that would be enhanced by audiobooks. Would you like to use novels, poetry and memoir as "accidental CPD"? Here are some ideas to get you started: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Ugh no. I’m up and ready you stupid machine I do not want to wait

Best fun mindful activity today.

Are you looking for a brilliant stocking filler book? Get this!! You truly won’t be disappointed

Rather delighted by having this published as as an early Christmas Present!

Are you a new or newish TPD? There are still a few spaces on the Scaling the Heights New Primary Care Educator Course. It comes really highly recommended (I’ve not done it as been a TPD forever but I facilitate on the Scaling Unconference which is the most magical course ever).

Roti canai and milo ais. Heaven.

Such a useful paper. This really stood out to me and challenged me (in a very good way).

Any #MedEd folks: the Scaling The Heights Unconference is the most wonderful educator retreat. There are still some spaces left to book for May 2025. It’s such a treat to be part of the team with @alanshirley.bsky.social Book here: scalingtheheights.com #MedSky
