Hey formerly twitter.
I haven't been here for months but I wanted to shout into the void that if things aren't right then have the courage to change.
My life, my home, my children feels so much better. It's easier to stay but sometimes you need to take a leap of faith
I've not been on twitter for a while but it's my last day working in Gloucester today. I'm sad to be leaving teams of colleagues who I will miss but hopefully I have an exciting new start in Wales around the corner.
Any words of wisdom?

I absolutely love this - when standing around having coffee always leave a gap / empty chair to enable someone else to join.

Anyone else thinking we need an ad campaign that says the real experience of cancer is nothing like the movies and that's ok.
Sometimes we fight cancer by having a cup of tea, walking around the garden or having a cry and sharing how we feel with someone.
It's ok to not be ok

Don't share pictures of your revision on Facebook.... It will remind you of it years later as if it was a fun party memory

We need both divergent thinking (generating a wide range of views, ideas or possibilities) & convergent thinking (evaluating, comparing & narrowing down choices) if we want to find better solutions. Too often, we leave out the divergent phase altogether or we don't involve enough diverse voices for truly divergent thinking. Diversity & divergent thinking together can make a massive difference to outcomes:

One of our IMT docs passed MRCP part 1!
I am overjoyed and wanted to share the joy. I know it can feel like no one cares but I will guarantee I'm not the only one who gets excited for their trainee's victories.
Congratulations to all who passed, well done!

I have realised the real benefit of the hospital accommodation my generation got wasn't so much that it was free (honestly, some of it wasn't worth paying for!). But that we didn't have to stress about finding somewhere to live at short notice.
I'm seeing healthcare from the other side and realise, I probably don't talk to relatives enough. And I don't understand how we manage this slow process of dying of old age... It feels easier when there is a specific problem and timeframe but that's probably the bias of my job

There is no ‘backstory’ to ending of 2/care @NHSPracHealth other than (we’re told) - no budget. To remind, it was established following suicide of a psychiatry who also killed her baby and highlighted the barriers doctors have in accessing mental health care.

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.
At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.
Let’s dig deeper:
