Great to be in Bath with the next generation - superb turnout @RElwood96 @DrAlexPhillips. So proud of you all. Not rocket science, just asking to be valued for what you’re worth.

So for years I have had pretty bad skin problems.
For seemingly no reason my face would start burning & within hours would result in horrible read blotches appearing on my cheeks and nose.
After years, I have finally worked out why. Come with me on a flakey adventure. Thread:

So what are some of my key take away messages from virtually attending #DEMEC21
We are our best selves when working together ❤ Value all members of your team 💚 Celebrate what makes us different 💜 Debrief chats are high yield learning opportunities not to be neglected! 💙 – at Coventry, England
Getting ready to watch Prof Chris Whitty speak at the closing plenary of #DEMEC21

Very interesting discussion on improving access to #LTFT and trainees' experiences. Also good to see @jonhossain in the room stressing the value of Champions of Flexible Training! #DEMEC21
As we're hearing at #DEMEC21 - social media is a powerful tool and not inherently unprofessional, although our use of it can be. If you feel like you'd like further guidance on using social media as a doctor, @gmcuk have comprehensive guidance on this: gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/…

‘Social media isn’t unprofessional — people are unprofessional’ @JonnyGucks yaaaaas #DEMEC21
Update: this is honestly the best thing on the internet since grumpy cat #DEMEC21
Which session are people most excited about today? 🙋🏼♀️ 'Social media: force for good or evil in medical education?' for me - sounds like an epic Marvel movie starring @JonnyGucks @OrthopodReg & Dr Kim Walker 🦸🏾 (but srsly, a super important topic for any medical educator) #DEMEC21

Looks like @JonnyGucks is checking #SoMe now 😋

Prof Amir Sam just dropped the mic at #DEMEC21, discussing the (in)validity of our current measures for FY allocation🎤⬇️
one of the greatest privileges of studying at @ImperialMed was this particular educator, and this stands true for me today🌟
Improving experiences for LTFT trainees is important for every stakeholder in postgraduate training, including our patients! #DEMEC21 #MedTwitter #MedEd

Take home point from the #DEMEC21 Addressing Differential Attainment session - be an ally 👩🏿🤝👩🏼 #medtwitter #MedEd
(a cheeky 3/2) - would highly recommend that anyone who hasn't considered this before to read this excellent thread - for those fortunate enough to not have encountered these issues it's truly eye-opening! teapawt.org/noodles_nood/status/13…

For those who need to work part time jobs during university or have caring responsibilities, it might be that bit harder to afford the time to get top decile, which can then affect FY, CT & even ST3 applications (where distinctions at med school count for the most points) (2/2)

Also a potential fairness issue. Unlike postgrad Drs who all earn comparable salaries in the NHS, undergrads can have hugely different financial backgrounds. (1/2)
I really feel this… I’m in my 2nd year out of 4 for grad med. I know there’s a limit to how deciles matter. I know they are not really an indicator of who you *are*
But I think about it a lot. And it makes me sad that the culture around them creates toxicity #DEMEC21
