I'm using "X" a lot less - my timeline is full of ads, hate, bots & American politics. I still see useful things now & again so will be here passively & may RT some things... But I won't be active unless X is cleaned up. I'm going to try LinkedIn so you can follow me there.

Judgement was handed down today on the BMA's Judicial Review of the GMC regarding PAs and AAs. All three grounds of the challenge have been dismissed. I suspect most eyes will now turn to the Leng Review due to be published in the summer. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov…

Although I suspect some will find a fair amount of irony in the judgement incorrectly referring to the Royal College of Physician Associates 🤦

"Corridor care is unsafe. You can't deliver the care you want to deliver. It is undignified. You cannot maintain patient dignity and privacy." Dr Sacha Moore @SachaLMoore was interviewed by the BBC this morning, following the launch of our new guidance on corridor care this week

It often concerns me how quickly we have all seemed to move on... Yet the shadow and impact of the harm to families and staff remains. Some truly moving evidence below from Kevin Fong, Former National Clinical Adviser for Emergency Planning.
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

It’s been 63 years since suicide was decriminalised in the UK. But so many of us still use the term ‘commit suicide’. Why does it matter? Language that links suicide and crime can increase stigma and prevent people struggling with suicidal thoughts from speaking out. If we choose language like ‘died by suicide’ or ‘took their own life’ we allow space for open conversations and compassion. Let’s choose our words carefully. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
