It’s the little things in the NHS that would help morale so much! Not ‘congratulations on completing training’ or ‘thank you for your hard work whilst at the trust’...just You Are Terminated! Thanks a lot.

This needs to stop. Utterly utterly ridiculous. Purely cultural and a waste of everyone’s time. As hospital doctors, please can we start doing better.
@drsamyar
It’s easy to forget the massive step up from med student to FY1 with huge associated responsibility. It’s a hugely emotional time. Not sure tears are a good measure of happiness/support/work environment but plenty of other metrics are and should be examined closely.
Last chance to register for this free 1 day symposium! Great faculty. Looking forward to some really interesting and insightful conversation about all things

Can’t tell you how much being on council and then Exec benefitted my personal and career development.
Phenomenal opportunity to get involved and really have a voice at the table. Great team, great fun and couldn’t recommend it more. Just apply!!
We're looking for enthusiastic members to our council!
Details of all roles & responsibilities and how to apply, will be posted on our website this evening.
Please consider waiting until the weekend to contact us, once all details are listed online, if you have any questions.
We didn’t win…😔. Huge congratulations though to

Completely disagree.Maybe UK vs US system but in the UK capacity remains the issue and not utilising this theatre capacity certainly in the early evening until 12 is not evidence it’s less safe.
More importantly it means we can manage patients not as I/P

The joy of going to bed thinking you get an extra hour in bed...the terrible realisation you have small children who don’t believe in the clocks going back!
Why would

I fully support work/life balance, I support JD contract in part but please allow some flexibility at this time to let people take the limited training opportunities that are available!
This has to be resolved nationally! We can all talk a good plan but we need to back it up!

Here here. Couldn’t agree more. Broken tired after last night in the ‘pods’! Proper night shift and the nursing care the team give is remarkable. Privileged to see them in action and make a very token effort to chip in!
Interested in green sustainable surgery?What are the barriers to delivery & implementation?
Are you a theatre practitioner of any kind? Involved in operations?
Surgeon?
ODP?
Gasman?
Procurement?
IPC?
Help us answer the question! 5 min survey 👇!
