To enable research and scholarship as core functions of doctors employers should provide the time and resources for these activities, not least because they aid recruitment and retention, as well as improve the quality of patient care. 2/2

BMA academics welcome this report. We have long said that all doctors should aspire to be scholars and scientists, confident in using research to inform their clinical and educational practice, and contributing their expertise to the research portfolio and strategy. 1/2

“What’s really needed is a long-term workforce plan that creates expansion in medical school places and in post-graduate training, and to solve retention problems by addressing pay and pension issues.” Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 spoke to Times Radio this morning on the NHS workforce crisis

Great news that MPs have voted to introduce buffer zones around abortion clinics in England and Wales. We have long been concerned about harassment and intimidation outside abortion services, this amendment will now help protect women.

Intimidating & harassing women seeking abortions, & the staff who serve those women, is abhorrent & unacceptable. Legislation to provide for buffer zones/safe spaces is required in all 4 countries of the UK. Let's hope vote is passed. The FSRH RoyalCollegeObsGyn The BMA BPAS
