Embarrassed at how NHS treats trainees. Have trainee due to start GP training induction today. My colleague asked one week ago for reference. Funnily enough in July, she’s on leave & not replied. Poor trainee, through no fault of their own, not even allowed to start induction. Pitiful & infuriating

This is going to be a fantastic conference!! Are you curious about how HAH works? Do you want to increase your skills?? Are you working in a virtual ward- they’re the same thing!! Join us!!

Excellent NHS care, delivered at home. We're expanding Hospital at Home to 2,000 beds by the end of 2026 - watch this to find out how it will help ease pressure on the NHS and cut waiting lists. 👇

Great to meet the lovely NHS staff at @nhsforthvalley.bsky.social who deliver the Hospital at Home service. We’re expanding it to 2,000 beds across Scotland by the end of 2026 - meaning more patients treated at home, shorter waiting lists, and more space freed up in hospitals.

202 years ago today, this stork was shot in the village of Klütz in northern Germany. It already had a 30-inch arrow in its neck. The arrow was made of African wood, and this first ‘Pfeilstorch’ (‘arrow stork’) played a pivotal role in the understanding of bird migration.

A review on Hospital at Home. From my experience: Person-centered care drives satisfaction, familiar surroundings reduce delirium&other risk in seniors AND natural activity at home accelerates rehabilitation - partly by preventing deterioration in the first place.

Interesting slide on who is classified as “old” in Japan. Lots to say about this. But as it’s Friday afternoon, I’ll just say that I’m looking forward to super older adults appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe…

No, 18 months later. Let’s have an inquiry. Who hid the turd under the carpet?

Everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes. The Silver Line Helpline run by Age UK is a free, confidential telephone service for older people, providing friendship, conversation and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Find out more: bit.ly/4hYIuIt #HelplinesAwarenessDay2025

Back on my bike to commute to work after all that ice (we have a family rule- no cycling below 3C). Lovely sunrise behind the #TankertonBeachHuts!

I often get comments like "how can you say Covid is low when there's no testing"... there is testing in hospitals & testing protocols haven't changed really since Apr 2023, so covid admissions are comparable over last yr. Plus Scottish wasterwater consistent with lowest Covid winter so far. 1/2
