This is all good and well, @wesstreeting. But I want to be clear on my position as an NHS consultant:
1️⃣Recognising Israel as an apartheid state, in line with major Israeli organisations, is not antisemitic.
2️⃣Recognising Israel as committing genocide, in line with Israeli scholars, Israeli rights groups and the UN, is not antisemitic.
3️⃣Recognising Israel as an illegal, biligerent, occupying power, in line with the International Court of Justice, is not antisemitic.
4️⃣Recognising Israel is engaging in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, in line with international human rights groups, is not antisemitic.
5️⃣Recognising Israel is run by convicted terrorists, self proclaimed fascists and a man wanted by the International Criminal Court, is not antisemitic.
6️⃣Recognising Zionism as an ethnosupremacist, European born, settler colonial project, designed to displace and replace indigenous and native Palestinians, is not antisemitic.
I will keep speaking out, publicly, about these things, in line with my values of human dignity, human rights, the rule of law and in line with my freedom of speech and freedom of opinion.

I think what non medics fail to understand is that history taking is THE skill. It s not simply asking questions but it’s interrogating hypotheses based on background knowledge of possibilities

I was chatting to a friend and we were discussing the strange way in which some politicians, presenters, journalists and commentators appear to have had a sudden epiphany about the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. She then reminded me of this book…

Diagnostic error is the most common, most costly, and most dangerous of medical mistakes.
So why take the risk of being diagnosed by a PA?

Seeing undifferentiated illness IS SO HARD. And I have been doing this for 25 years.
God my brain is exhausted and it’s not even 093!
Especially since covid, nothing is as straightforward and seeing things that are hen’s teeth presentations.

One of the fundamental problems in the #NHS?
The approach to anyone speaking up- about unfairness, duplicity, chicanery- and the rest
Beyind that...the reasons why many...don't

'I keep hearing the taunts of ‘just wait until you hire an amateur’ ringing in my ears.'
@EbMulla argues that the delay of an independent review into PAs has shown the true colours of key decision makers’ attitudes towards GPs

Health Secretary @wesstreeting has announced a review of the role of PAs.
Physician Assistants - Yes
Physician Associates - No
Assistants support doctors rather than working in parallel with them or replacing them. And they should have their own regulator; not the GMC.

As a senior clinician I 💯 approve of @wesstreeting announcement of a review into associates
But I am concerned it will be written around a predetermined outcome like so much of this debate has been
Below is material is hope Prof Leng sees and takes into account 🧵

“To be a good leader?
You need a wish bone, a funny bone and a backbone”
A reminder to many in Colleges & NHS to try and develop that third one
There is no point in “being in the tent” when the whole tent is on fire
Thanks for listening to my TED talk

Disheartening to see snippets of @RCPhysicians EGM
Seems their senior leader motives aren’t in the general interest of their members, other doctors, even public safety.
It’s dangerous when anyone, let alone those in power, refuse to genuinely reassess when concerns are raised

GPs in England: we have launched a survey to give YOU a say. Tell us your views on your current contract and what you want to see from it in the future. Your input will play an important role in shaping the future of general practice. Take our survey: brnw.ch/21wEUqU

Messaging reads: General practice in England is at a watershed moment. This is your chance to share what you think about how GPs work and how we deliver patient care. Future of general practice. This is your opportunity to shape our vision. We need to hear your thoughts on your current contract and what you want to see from it in the future.

"The reality for many Muslim colleagues working in the NHS is that Islamophobia occurs not just from patients but also from colleagues who are not allies."

Three things.
1. Hope everyone is OK. Immense pressure on staff and patients here and in primary care to support. I can imagine the comms
2. Great ending by @nottmhospitals comms team. 'own air mask in first' in a pressured situation 🙂
3. It not even the start of winter...
