I didnā€™t realise itā€™d been quite that dry further South.

This is good. Anything youā€™d add? I think Iā€™d want a digital rest in here - if thatā€™s not too ironic! #wellbeing#health#wellness

They are all running in the idiom of recent contests when post of Tory leader came with instant, automatic entitlement to be PM. The party has not yet learned the grammar and vocabulary of defeat and opposition.

Swopping a disappointing greyish wet British summer for wholehearted hygge for the next 6/7 months. Whoā€™s in? #autumn#winter

If you haven't read this (or if you're not sure what a physician's associate is), I strongly recommend you do... ...it's a significant patient safety issue snuck in under the radarā€”although a polarized topic, this is an excellent, balanced summary. [ref: www.newstatesman.com/politics/hea... ]

Title from cited New Statesman article:

'Medicine Wars 

A revolt over patient safety and declining expertise is tearing the medical establishment apart 

by Phil Whitaker'
Extract from article:

'The devaluation of medical expertise in the NHS is creating a brain drain. UK-trained doctors are internationally sought-after, and countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland are energetically recruiting from the demoralised ranks. John Burn-Murdoch, chief data reporter at the Financial Times, has written that an estimated 18,000 UK-trained doctors are now working abroad ā€“ an increase of 50 per cent on 2008. That represents one in seven of the home-grown workforce and is almost three times the rate among peer countries.'
Extract from article:

'The trend is continuing. In April, the General Medical Council published independent research that suggested 30 per cent of remaining UK medics are contemplating moving overseas to practise in the next year, 16 per cent of them already taking what the GMC terms ā€œhard stepsā€ towards emigrating. Applications for certificates of good standing (CGS), which doctors must obtain from the GMC if they are to work abroad, on average number 5,000-6,000 per year (not all CGSs convert to departures), but 8,600 were requested in 2023.'
