Canada, Australia, Ireland - doctors’ salaries are more than double those in the UK, with better care despite smaller economies Can’t help but think the problem isn’t UK doctors, but the performance of UK politicians and government

"If others won't lead, we will." Today @DrPhilBanfield announced we are launching legal action against the GMC, over MAPs and the use of the term ‘medical professionals’. Here's why ⬇️📣 #ARM2024

As we approach the general election as a doctor of 24 years, a consultant of 12, I have never known the NHS to be in such dire straits with such low staff morale Much of the care delivered in the NHS is no longer safe and patients are bearing the brunt of this. People are dying because of an under-resourced system. I have seen this with my own eyes. This is under-investment by the Conservative party over the past 13 yrs who are purposefully running the NHS into the ground. We have opportunity to change this on July 4th. From an ex- conservative voter.

*Mitral valve assessment by TTE* Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), when performed with care and diligence, can reveal a lot about the valve. TOE isn't necessary in all cases to determine leaflet pathology. A worked example below:

Have you seen “STENT ABSCESS”, INFECTIVE PSEUDOANEURYSM AFTER STENTING? High grade fever, acute stent thrombosis, hemorrhagic peri effusion were the presentations. Stent can be seen inside the abscess. We have a series of 6 cases, pci done from other centers. High mortality !

8. Doctors are not being greedy to ask for a fair wage, paying some of our brightest people that have responsibilities of life and death, £14 /hr isn't right. The NHS can no longer go on like this. Penultimately it will be for the general public to decide what they want for them and their families , and who they want delivering their healthcare.

I use Echonav for helping trainees understand the interplay between echo and fluoro through live real time fusion of modalities. Features allow for more intuitive instruction and understanding. Also the imagery is outstanding. Here's one of our examples. #UABStructural

If you don't work in the NHS doctors training, pay & career progression is a bit confusing Now the #JuniorDoctorsStrike is on you might reasonably ask what does time served really lead to? So in this thread I'm going to compare doctors to our dearly beloved 650 MP's 1/
