Such a fun & informative conference. Great to connect with friends old and new. Great to see my previous educational supervisor win the Unsung Hero award, Kath Jenkins taught me RA! She is an expert blocker @ra-uk.org #RAUK2026

A while ago, I led a national survey on access to PHEM careers. One quote really stayed with me “I’ve never seen a Black female doctor in UK PHEM” I’ve recently started working @gwaac.bsky.social in a breaking barriers post CCT training role #representationmatters instagram.com/p/DUur0pPiAOj/…

Today, we released our Wellbeing, Burnout and Retention report. It shows urgent action is needed to train, support, and retain anaesthetic staff across the NHS. Read the report in full 👉 https://ow.ly/Qt9v50YIOky #Ansky #Medsky

So much has happened in 13 years. It’s worth remembering the journey. These CFTR modulators are changing lives. Our daughter is one. Big news at the end of the video. Posted with her permission. #cysticfibrosisawareness #cysticfibrosis #cfaware #kaftrio #alyftrek www.instagram.com/reel/DWPP5pm...

@rcoanews.bsky.social - do you have a TikTok account? I’ve had patients coming through who’ve done all their research about what to expect from anaesthesia on TikTok!

Ten years ago today. This picture is a very painful memory. She was desperately ill & we waited for a bed. She knew the significance of it & put on her best party dress. Strong like her lion, we said. Now thanks to Kaftrio she is living an essentially normal ish life #cysticfibrosis #kaftrio

OMG that’s my son and I interviewing on the red carpet at the BAFTAs www.instagram.com/reel/DVjcaGn...

Just heard the expression: “Some people pull up the ladder, some people send down the elevator.”

July 2024 I was a locum consultant. I decided to write down what I really wanted. A combination of two jobs. I said on social media I would let you know if my manifest would happen. It has! Took a while. Got the RUH job that July. Start HEMS induction tomorrow. Write your aspirations down & see.

Bristol is awesome. The Light Festival was stunning

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling. If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Sometimes I get to do cool things! With my son interviewing at the BAFTAs as a hologram!

Finished Lord of the Flies and then watched Hamnet (wow). My emotions can’t take much more. But wow. What acting. Add to that Sinners. He’s done Marty Supreme & One Battle After Another too. Crammed in as many BAFTA nominations as possible ready for tomorrow’s special event with my son!!! 🤫🤩⭐️🏆

Look. Aliens. #DistractionTechniques

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks

Keely Hodgkinson broke the indoor 800m world record last night - set on the day she was born 24 years ago. She becomes only the second Brit to hold a WR along with Jonathan Edwards' triple jump mark.

Me at 3am when my TSH is low.I might just get up now & take the pond cover off as the frogs will get trapped. We need chick peas. I wonder if I should renew the passports 10 months in advance. I could look up intersectionality in an actual book index. No - just go back to sleep. My toes are cold.

Waiting on more news. Accountability. Justice.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

I will forever be delighted by the day I was the anaesthetist for a stroke thrombectomy. The interventional radiologist was one digit below me on the GMC register and the stroke physician one digit above on the GMC register!! Med school buddies all doing the same case! It will never happen again.

It's even worse because there's plenty of use of the feedback section in evaluations for airing grievances, beefs, etc that they didn't the courage or the decency to say to people in person. Yes, you can also get surprises the other way

This will be very insightful.

Words written anonymously in MSFs, MTRs and other feedback mechanisms especially to resident doctors can cause months, sometimes years of harm. I've provided pastoral support to many literally wounded by harsh negative words without comeback. Resident doctors (and others) are humans with feelings...

When ministers defended Starmer over Mandelson’s links to Epstein this week, they rushed to X - a platform that lets users strip photos of women and girls. Is it surely time for the government to log off X? And is social media too toxic for all of us? My col: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This emergency call made by the absolutely outstanding legend and brave 13 year old is quite something. Quite moving to think what he went through. The swim was roughly equivalent to running two marathons for him www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Do ‘No’ people know the are no people? What is it that drives the ‘no person’? No people can stifle innovation & hold things back. I wonder if they realise what would happen if the said yes or maybe.

I had missed this. Kudos to @rcoanews.bsky.social for stopping posting on X. We need more bodies to stand up like this. rcoa.ac.uk/news/rcoa-wi...

There are other starter packs. Anyone want to share some with Paul?

Pack 6 is on.... I will add people if I can tell you if you an anaesthetist or critical care person in your profile. If no description I can't tell! Who else should I add? go.bsky.app/BgDnxFi

Anyone else? That feeling when you inject local anaesthetic and watch on ultrasound www.instagram.com/reel/DTzawNG...

Obstetric anaesthesia versus PHEM. Any similarities or totally different? www.linkedin.com/pulse/leadin...
