The Lords have rightly highlighted important new data showing a decline in numbers of clinical academics in UK. Without clinical academics many new treatments would not have been developed in the UK. We need our clinical academics!

So I didn't get tickets for this... Surely it should have been easy for people who work in respiratory health to get in... 🫁😅 #RespIsBest

Research exposure in current UK paediatric training: where are the gaps? 89–95% trainees report appetite for more research exposure Big challenges remain Dom Carr Eva Loucaides adc.bmj.com/content/early/…

Oddly familiar to when you said you’d meet us within 20 minutes during January action. But didn’t meet us for almost 2 months after it ended Nothing stopping you from speaking to us now Nothing stopping a commitment to restoring our pay If you do, strikes are cancelled

Rishi Sunak seems confused about his pay dispute with doctors. #BattleForNumber10 Strikes are NOT to blame for waiting lists, which were already at a record high before any strikes started. And junior doctors are NOT the only group in dispute, as he’s already been reminded 👇

I cannot state more clearly how stupid any doctor is who gets involved with this. It is so intellectually muddled. Cost is not a reason to shorten a degree (it's a reason to give financial support). bmj.com/content/385/bm…
