Let's talk about the phrase "Trainee in difficulty" because I hate it. Mainly because I was one... Labelled. Othered. Shamed. Lumped in a box with other doctors navigating challenges of many kinds. We need a system with compassion. One that cares & supports. Language matters. #MedSky

Hi all! Feels exciting - a new and friendly place to exchange ideas. I'm Ben, a clinical academic nurse researching how we can make dying care at home better. An occasional improver and cyclist ... just for fun

Bluesky reminds me of joining Twitter in 2017. Sometimes you don't realise how bad something has become.
