Alongside more than 70 orgs we have written to Wes Streeting to ask for meaningful and productive engagement with the health sector on the development of the 10-year workforce plan.

Worrying to see increasing levels of measles in parts of UK and Europe- if you are not vaccinated please do consider the MMR which is a safe way to prevent a potentially deadly disease
Measles warning to holidaymakers as cases rise across Europe
As the summer holiday season gets going, families are being warned of measles outbreaks in many popular European destinations, with vaccination rates in the UK still far below what experts advise.

The Spring issue of the Bulletin is out today!

As our editor @drjonchambers1.bsky.social says in his introduction, whilst change is inevitable, this training issue clearly demonstrates how our specialty continues to rise to meet the challenge of change.

This is all water under the bridge at this point. It's obvious the NATO assurance is over under Trump. These comments no longer have the shock value they did a few weeks ago.
REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?

TRUMP: Well, I think it's common sense. If they don't pay I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna defend them.

It's a good time to re-read Dr Helgi Johannsson's blog on his personal history, the history of healthcare & where we are now.

"We must make our patient pathways welcoming towards those who identify as LGBTQ+."
