Did you know his former roommates sixthform sweethearts cousins butler once read an essay on privatisation of the NHS?
No he didnt
Yes he did. Canary said so.
Something something patient safety.
WHATS TABLE TENNIS GOT TO DO WITB PATIENT SAFETY ANYWAY?
it doesn’t matter, he’s going to get moved on from health anyway.
It’s going to be so amazing, we can reclaim our #NHS and save it and fight a former nurse who’s husbands a virgin or something.
Oh he’s staying.
Incandescent rage.
Fight breaks out between patient safety campaigners and non-acute speciality doctor. Guardian article to follow.
NHA come 3rd in a Parish council by-election.
Meanwhile medical registrars are conflicted: they don’t want to admit nurses can’t be registrars after 2 years for fear of looking snotty, but on the other hand ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MIND?!
Long thread coming up but I want to put my thoughts about #TheatreCapChallenge down in one last long rambling thread before I block everyone connected to it and move on
1) the logic from certain people is:
People die in theatre
Those deaths stem from errors
Those errors happen because of poor communication.
poor communication occurs through not knowing names
THEREFORE....
If we knew the names of the staff....
Communication will improve
Errors will reduce
Lives will be saved.
IF...
A hat with a name on is an example of knowing someone’s name
Like a collection of deleted tweets before a politically sensitive royal college election, no ones going to read this either, it’s #NHSthisweek!

It’s as if no one looked at the programme and saw Jeremy’s name on the list of speakers and thought, “gee there’s a safety prize, do you think theyll give it to the #iminworkjeremy guy instead?”
Like a monopoly board with no good spaces for anything good to come through, it’s #NHSthisweek!
This week, a special how-to guide.
Say you’ve had a great idea, perhaps you think we should make Medical professionals with several degrees and a wealth of experience conduct ward rounds in baseball hats to stop interruptions, neatly ignoring the tenacity of most ICU nurses?
Or perhaps you think the way to promote the genuinely good idea of getting elderly patient out of bed and dressed is to fill your kardex with ideas for prescribed exercises, so that there’s no space for actual drugs?
Like a blog you’ve thrown together at the last minute to maintain you’re public profile, it’s #NHSthisweek :
Protests against the GMC continue, including one suggestion to rip up GMC registration certificates outside their London offices. On a Saturday.
Which leads to the philosophical question, if a man rips up a certificate and no ones there to see it (cos it’s a Saturday) does it make or sound, or even an impact?
