Today's Covid Inquiry report shows the catastrophic impact of the four UK Governmentsโ€™ lack of urgency and their collective complacency. They did far too little, far too late in the first few weeks of the pandemic and beyond. Read our response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/โ€ฆ

No wonder doctors are leaving UK to work elsewhere. Very short sighted@BMANI

ED bedwaits are the manifestation of decades of underinvestment and deprioritisation of health and vital social care services and the beating heart - its staff. Now we're left totally broken. @mikenesbittni you need to act now. Not in September as you've suggested. @BMA_NI

Itโ€™s really not rocket science @_NIMDTA @rcpsychNI @healthdpt @mikenesbittni @mmurnaghan @rmcc182
NHS health workers' fatigue directly contributes to patient harm, a new report out today shows. There is an undisputed link between the wellbeing of staff and patient care. You cannot ignore one part and expect the other to function properly.

Itโ€™s very important in the context of organisational candour. The answer is absolutely not to criminalise individuals caught up in it

I would encourage all NHS staff to avail of the free night workers health assessments in occupational health under the working time regulations. Very few actually do. Work is ongoing in NI HSC to begin to develop a strategy to address fatigue risk management in healthcare

BMA are considering next steps after a disappointing ruling from the High Court in our case against the GMC for blurring the lines between doctors and physician associates. "Having ruled on the legal technicalities the Court has ignored common sense, and the effect of this will perpetuate the patient safety issues caused by this confusion" says @DrPhilBanfield Read the full statement below ๐Ÿ‘‡ bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/โ€ฆ

Every day I try my very best to make things work. I truly love and believe in this wonderful wee place we call home, Northern Ireland. I want all of us to to thrive and succeed. I will do all I can to make this happen. So deeply disappointed by personal attacks and petty politics against me over the weekend by those who claim to want politics to work. I won't be deterred. I will keep working for all and driving forward positive change ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™ This is a positive day, with the passing of the Programme for Government.

I unfortunately couldnโ€™t make it today (doing the actual day job!). Encouraging signs and announcements past 24 hours that we might be turning a corner. Early promise needs fulfilledโ€ฆ.
Planning for winter conference @mikenesbittni says too many patients Are surrendering their privacy and dignity in hospital. The big conversation is underway and itโ€™s a full house. The CMO Dr McBride talking to NIโ€™s new interim Perm Sec @FarrarMike - Will he make decisions?
