Retired Anaesthetist/Assoc Dean for Careers. Past President MWF. Mum to 2 wonderful adults. Interested in Career Theory, PG Medical education, well being/life choices, punk rock.
With the demise of NHS England, what will happen to Health Education England?
Will we see local PG organisations?
Maybe a return to local recruitment to medical training?
Local decisions on training numbers? End of bottle necks in career progress?
Let’s remember what worked well in the past

One of my favourite art works. I wonder is this installation still
playing after 6 years. Has anyone visited or is it making music alone in the desert? 💖https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/toto-africa-loop-african-desert-sound-installation-778767
Endless 'Africa': Toto's Hit Plays on Continuous Loop in African Desert Sound Installation
An artist has created a sound installation in the Namib Desert that plays Toto's "Africa" on a continuous loop using solar batteries.

Feel much better today as I just cleared out all the bots and con artists.
Farewell US military hunky men with dogs, pick up trucks and a so so white smile.
Farewell young women with plastic faces and plastic breasts.
Now I am reading posts of interest and with something to say.

Get a library card even if you're not planning to use it. It impacts their funding.

It’s ok to pause and breathe, even when the season feels busy. Among all the giving, don’t forget to give yourself kindness and care. 🧡

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

When someone tells you they are worried about a loved one in the hospital (especially the ICU but anywhere really), DO NOT say things like, “I bet they’ll be ok because you’re there taking such good care of them!”

Just say something like “that must be really scary.”

Nothing in life is guaranteed.
