You will not find a clearer thinker and good human being to boot. Medical leadership is painfully difficult and unfortunately full of mediocrity at an important time for the profession. Vote for someone better! bsky.app/profile/drlk...

What's the future for Undergraduate Medical Education in England? @martinmckee.bsky.social and I look at what's in the 10 Year Plan and the implications. We think there is significant risk of the proposals devaluing degrees and the Profession. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The RCP is asking Fellows to vote on key constitutional reforms, including extending the franchise. A group of 27 Fellows tabled a motion saying reform should be slowed down + done properly. Not enough information. Too many questions. Our views here: tinyurl.com/ye5k2fa2

Time is running out! The survey portion of the Leng Review closes on SUNDAY (30 March). So only a few days to let the Government know what you think about PAs and AAs. Critically important that concerned doctors respond! Link in reply.

@drlkvaughan.bsky.social @beans2er.bsky.social @mancunianmedic.bsky.social I seem to be finding that the longer-stay cohort are occupying a lot more AMU beds than they used to. The shorter-stay cohort: not much change.
