Well, what sort of farewell cake did you expect at an upper GI surgeon’s retirement party? @LG_NHS
Saying happy retirement to Mr Alek Uzkalnis!

Groundbreaking stuff - literally - from @LG_NHS yesterday!
This surgical centre is going to serve the local population and well beyond, in partnership with @GSTTnhs and @KingsCollegeNHS. Down with long waits!

Yesterday, we were thrilled to welcome Mayor @Brenda_Dacres, reps from our construction partners Sisk and our wonderful colleagues and NHS friends to break ground on Lewisham Surgical Centre, which from late 2025 will perform 5,000 ENT procedures a year for south east London!

The main logo text reads 'Lewisham Surgical Centre' in the NHS font, and the strapline reads "Providing Ear, Nose and Throat care for South East London' in pink script. The logo sits on a white background atop a pink ribbon graphic, with the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust logo in the top right.

Spotted at a bus stop outside my local polling station in Blackheath (Lewisham North constituency). Made me chuckle, but I’m not quite 100% sure that it’s a fake. Is this for real @lewishamlabour @UKLabour ?! #GeneralElection24

It’s that time of the year!
Think it’s just a matter of turning the clocks back? No, for electronic patient records there’s more to it than that.
We need an ‘ambiguous time message’ #ClocsGoBack @OracleHealth
You’re welcome.

I am a NHS consultant. I am financially comfortable, in a job I love, so why am I striking tomorrow?
Answer: Because the next generation will not be able to live off what I do today. The juniors that will become these consultants know this and are leaving already.
Why? 🧵 👇

Morale is high at BMA house as we get warmed up for Mick Lynch
Public sector workers need to present a united front against a monopoly employer driving down our real pay.
Don’t let govt divide us!

New question I’ll be asking all my new patients, at the end of the history-taking. From tomorrow.
‘Is there anything else important I need to know about you?’

Watch out for this pub scam. Couple comes to our table, distracts us showing A3 posters (covering table). Phone gone.
@LadywellTavern has CCTV but @metpoliceuk needs to see it before tapes wiped.
2weeks & 3 trips later to @MPSLewisham- no officer’s made contact. Help!

These weren’t our thieves. But the trick was the same.
At least Manchester cops did something. But @metpoliceuk? No interest in seeing CCTV. Not even a call, despite 3 visits to @MPSLewisham.
They’ve given up.
Romanian pickpockets devious trick

I know I won’t ever see the phone again. But the pair who stole it were obviously part of a professional outfit (method, get away car) stealing phones. At least @metpoliceuk @MPSLewisham should be interested in identifying the gang? That’s all I’d hope for.

We did it! The iconic Lewis Club reopens after nearly three years. Under new management with the fantastic @ignitionbeer team.
Great boost for staff morale and camaraderie in Lewisham Hospital @LG_NHS!

Stumbled across this on a walk today, not a bad analogy for what’s being done the country
