Today, 13 years 6 months and 18 days since my first day of work as a doctor (and 19 and a half years after starting medical school), I work my last day as a #juniordoctor. So grateful to all the patients I have had privilege of being the doctor to and advocate for. #NHS ❤️

The @NottFoundation provides surgical training to doctors working in conflict zones and other difficult environments. It received a BMA Giving grant last year. Watch our film about its work with Ukrainian surgeons and read more in The Doctor Magazine 👉thedoctor.bma.org.uk/article…

This is what happens when one side has a louder voice than the other in a conflict and warnings are not heeded and dismissed. But we cannot just be horrified or angry, action is needed now from the international community to stop more preventable deaths and suffering in Gaza.
The @theIPCinfo has declared a man-made famine in Gaza City. We are horrified by the increasing suffering of civilians and continued attacks on healthcare. We renew our call for an immediate end to Israel’s blockade on humanitarian aid: bma.org.uk/what-we-do/workin…

Humanitarians are a lot of things: committed, resilient, determined. But they should never be a target.

This week we wrote to @medwma urging a stronger statement on Gaza. It must acknowledge Israel’s role in blocking aid, denying evacuations & reports of detained, tortured Palestinian doctors, including allegations involving Israeli doctors. The WMA has offered to meet and discuss this. Read our letter here: bma.org.uk/what-we-do/workin…

Regulation must not blur the lines between doctors and non-doctors. We’ve written to the GMC following the Leng review 👇 We've also been granted permission to appeal our judicial review case against the GMC. The court says our appeal raises important issues for public safety.

Today, we've written to @DavidLammy calling on the Government to take immediate action to prevent famine in Gaza. As Israel continues their blockade of humanitarian aid, 1 in 5 people face imminent starvation and hospitals are running out of medicines fast. bma.org.uk/what-we-do/workin…

Clarity in naming matters. Patients must not be allowed to believe they are being treated by a doctor when they are not. Doctors must always lead the team. This is about making sure patients get the care they need when they need it. Tales of missed opportunities abound
WMA urges clearer definitions for non-physician roles to protect patient safety, following concerns raised by the British Medical Association. Read the full press release: wma.net/policies-post/counci… #PatientSafety #GlobalHealth @TheBMA @ashok_philip

Delighted to have been part of @TheBMA delegation that got this policy on the role of physicians associates passed at @medwma Council last week. The world is watching the UK, and waiting for the outcome of the Leng review - it’s time for patient safety to be truly put first.

Pleased to be at @EuropeanParl this afternoon speaking at @CPME_EUROPA panel on working conditions of doctors. Unemployed doctors doctors leaving due to burnout-out is a waste of public money. Doctors needs the right systems in place to do their job safely to protect patients.
