    A call to all GP colleagues - be a part of nurturing the next generation of 'rounded and grounded' doctors: Watch bit.ly/2UYbVCY to the end.... "Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago" Warren Buffett #qubgp @MHLSQUB

    Straw Poll: on Friday I asked my final year tutorial group of their intentions after F2; seven of 10 said leave. A proportion will not return. We invest emotionally and financially in training them; it is utterly heartbreaking to witness their instinct to leave our NHS.

    NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention. At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem. Let’s dig deeper:

    Super proud of these two young Dr Harts who have worked so hard to get themselves to this point - one finishing and one starting Foundation Training. Our healthcare system needs to do so much better to make them feel valued and to halt the exit from the service

    First time in 2.5 years teaching ‘in person’ with @JohnnyStewart1 and our @QUBMedEd Year 4 students on their GP module. Honestly wanted to hug each one as they came through the door (but didn’t obvs)… Remote has merit but there’s nothing to beat the gathering of people. #QUBGP

    Retweeting this as an encouragement for any graduates pondering whether to pursue a career in medicine - it is a challenging road but I have found it to be extremely rewarding.

    In GP Practice this afternoon - starting to face our many concerned patients. To you I say “Please be patient with us, we too have many questions. We will do our absolute best to care for you”. To all our healthcare colleagues: “Keep calm, carry on and take care of one another”
