NHS Pension Scheme ‘Interesting’ that it runs a surplus of over £4.4bn per year NHS staff with their ‘golden’ pensions costing the country £Millions. Well it appears not to be the case 🤔 www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/sites/defaul...

Very foggy around here at the moment. Many drivers seemingly oblivious to the fact that in many cases their car’s automatic day running lights only illuminate the front of their vehicle and don’t illuminate the rear at all. Suggest you double check your own car, it might save you being rear ended!

I’m struck by the incongruity of politicians like Jeremy Hunt being in favour of providing senior “second opinions” in NHS hospitals (Martha’s law) while also having facilitated the widespread introduction of non-medically qualified PAs (Noctors) into the NHS. #R4Today

Things that made huge changes to the patients I saw as an anaesthetist. Seatbelt law 1983 - saw huge change in head injuries leading to organ donation Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination 1992 changed the annual influx of children with acute epiglottitis needing intubation and ventilation.

Can never understand the logic of "slippery slope" arguments when we have a system where the House of Commons decides nearly everything. It's only a slippery slope if in the future the Commons changes its mind on something- which guess what, it can do at any time.
