Can we ban the term 'routine bloods'?

Tests can't be routine.

They're done for a reason, chosen in light of the differential diagnosis or specific monitoring needed.

'Routine' is not a reason.

Fab progress in deploying innovative daycase pathways at Stracathro. Well done to the Stracathro and orthopaedics teams for making this happen and improving our patient experience and capacity 👏🏻

This is also open to Tayside pupils from Brechin HS, Baldragon Ac, Monifieth HS and St Paul’s RC Ac. Apply directly or get in touch if you’re interested in a career in health and want to chat. F Reid ahpnhst

The NHS was highly rated in 2009, with high satisfaction levels, and relatively small numbers waiting for treatment. It has got steadily worse since 2010. It needs more money AND action on the social determinants of health. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Ponies…so good for the soul ☺️

This has proven to be a fabulous event so far - well done to the team 👌🏼💚

To my fellow single parents out there - you should be proud of all you do to keep your kids safe, happy and loved. It’s not easy and can be the biggest juggle, along with the occasional feelings of guilt. We are there every day for these little humans and they know it☺️💪🏼🥳

Ken has been a driving force behind this work, and I would urge all colleagues who work in theatres and have an interest in environmental sustainability to get involved!

Brilliant to see the bold start with this high impact programme of work!

Another big Thanks! to NHS Tayside Radiology at Perth & Ninewells.
Only yesterday my GP requested U/S imaging & **today** Perth Radiology phoned me to book me in next week. Incredibly proactive. Recently had X-rays on a Saturday. MRI on a Monday night. - won’t hear this on TV!
