Feeling inspired and connected and ready for action after this weekend's national gathering. Healthcare is a right for all, not a privilege for some. Until that is realised.... the fight continues. #PatientsNotPassports

Really looking forward to this weekend's #PatientsNotPassports national gathering. Preparing my talk for tomorrow - a history of the campaign - and feeling inspired and hopeful for a better future having seen how far we have come.

NHS peeps - whose Trust has banned chatgpt? Why? Our IT is already in the dark ages... restricting access to open AI seems madness. What about search engines?

This is THE STORY THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ to know the devastating impact of the US fund freeze on the ground. Kenya is just one example of what is happening in many other high TB burden countries dependent on US funding. #TBSky Thanks @stephanienolen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/h...
Tuberculosis Resurgent as Trump Funding Cut Disrupts Treatment Globally
The United States was the major funder of tuberculosis programs. Now hundreds of thousands of sick patients can’t find tests or drugs, and risk spreading the disease.

Why increasing rates of tuberculosis in the UK and US should concern everyone. theconversation.com/why-increasi...
Ending TB is possible. We have the tools. The investment case is solid. But with UK cutting overseas investment and the USA halting funds to USAID - political will is lacking.

Really enjoyed the little expression of love from our resident doctors this year - comedy certificates of achievement for all the respiratory consultants. Wonder if I can cash in the 300 cpd points for my appraisal next year?!

Stigma a key driver of #tuberculosis transmission & has a profound effect on people living with TB - not just around diagnosis but for many years. The first lady of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu spoke passionately this morning about a staff member dying because they hid their TB

Loving this new paper on complexity in medicine, using pediatrics as the worked example.
Too many medical authors (and the MRC) run fast and loose with the terms 'complexity' and 'complex interventions'. They should read this paper.

Never acceptable but yet continues to happen. Need to challenge when we see it and work on changing the culture.
Public humiliation "can create doctors who are anxious, less confident and may be more likely to make errors. Despite that, we found teaching by humiliation remains common in medical training"

Public humiliation is still a common teaching tool in medical education. Here’s how it leaves patients worse off
Many doctors become reluctant to ask questions or seek help when uncertain. This is exactly the opposite of what most patients want in a doctor making crucial decisions about their care.

#MedTwitter Who is using AI for their outpatient vetting? What platform? How does it integrate with your IT? I feel this is a key area where AI would save my time, be me efficient, more effective and more equitable with little risk.
