Morning

As the tragic events continue to unfold in the Middle East, it’s hard to post a happy nature video

Instead I’m praying for an end to the violence, to the death and suffering

I’m reflecting on how lucky I am simply by chance of where I was born

I am beyond heartbroken

Happy #AHPsDay2023 to all my wonderful Allied Health colleagues and everyone else who helps support and shape us to be in the right place with the right skills at the right time to so ably serve our population 🤗

1. Today is 'equalities' day in #SASweek23 , and this needs a thread.

Why are issues affecting SAS and locally-employed doctors 'EDI' issues?

Because the majority of SAS and locally-employed doctors are IMGs, 'BME' doctors or women.

(BME is used, because the GMC graphs use it)

Congratulations to the ‘Famous Five’ of the SAS Collective! 🩺 Your collaboration and dedication have resulted in building something truly significant to address SAS issues. Your efforts are not just commendable, but they will set a new benchmark for positive change. Kudos

There are 5 founding members of the @SAS_Collective, and you already know 4.

Hi everyone!

A male British qualified doctor is almost 3 times more likely to be on the specialist register than a SAS doctor?

Guess it’s my turn! #SASWeek23

📢 The NHS is launching a month-long online conversation on children and young people’s mental health, with a focus on gathering learning and ideas on how we can improve waiting times and make services more accessible.

We want to hear from you at solvingtogether.crowdicity.com

It's no secret that toxic workplace behaviours can seriously impact mental health. From passive aggression to gossip and bullying, these types of behaviours can leave employees feeling powerless and unsupported.

Let's strive to create healthier and more supportive work…

Vapes can help smokers quit, but should never be marketed to children.

The consultation on a smokefree generation is open. Please take part.
