Our international doctor's forum is filled with posts where people are even scared to get groceries. Travelling to work is a real concern for the immigrant workforce of the NHS. At the very least, trusts can provide taxi for those living in affected areas.

Sky News continuing to use the "anti immigration" line. Are Ukrainians being attacked? Are white Aussies working in bars being targeted? Or is it black and brown people, regardless of where they were born?

For the millionth time, you can be antiracist without being classist, there are lots of very racist posh people, and ethnic minorities shouldn’t have to be doctors to be treated with respect. There’s nothing progressive (or helpful - to anyone) about this framing.

I wrote about the NCT, so-called ‘normal’ childbirth, and how it influenced English maternity policy - for good and for bad Guardian G2 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

When you try to troll a candidate who is a scientist, be prepared for a science lesson. 🤷‍♀️

We wanted to highlight that patients living with obesity are at particular risk of local anaesthetic dosing errors due to many using actual body weight to calculate doses. Please remember to use lean body weight. The SOBA app can be used as an aid to clinical judgement
