I maintain one of UK medicine’s finest achievements is @ncepod.bsky.social.

The early reports of people being operated on by tired and junior staff are eye-watering.

Murgatroid Bonbon @murgatroidbonbon.bsky.social · May 6

And nobody mentions *the patient* who is the one being operated on by a sleep-deprived surgeon.

Someone needs to smack that surgeon with the anesthesiologist's Sudoku magazine. 😉

Around 10,000 children in the UK have JIA, which causes inflammation, pain, stiffness & can be debilitating. Fewer than half of these children see a rheumatologist within the recommended 10 weeks.

Important report on JIA from @ncepod.bsky.social published today.

I was involved in this important report. As a JIA patient and parent of a child with JIA I know care can be improved. The recommendations in the report can and should be acted on. Inflammatory Arthritis UK can support health care providers to do this, so please get in touch inflammatoryarthritis.org
