Blue Monday is a piece of crap pseudo science originally part of a travel company's press release to sell holidays.

Can we all try to avoid rewarding marketeers, using this term, which tries to sell goods by parasiting on the back of real mental health campaigns.

Now I know it doesn’t always work as it should, but today I am truly grateful for our health and care system in England. After family member found on the floor by carer, the organisation, delivery and compassion of care agency staff, ambulance service and primary care was exceptional. Thank you.

I finished reading Wendy Mitchell’s beautiful book ‘Somebody I Used to Know’. I wish it had been there to read all those years ago when I trained as a nurse. I wanted to thank her, but so sad not to be able to. She would be pleased to know the Assisted Dying agenda is progressing though.

If anyone wants to learn more about medical career routes, how to be an NHS doctor without a training number, or why the careers of such doctors matter, follow @sascollective.com.

I reckon we can get that count to 1000 followers today, and it would please me.

I seem to have gained quite a few followers this week. Thanks, folks!

For anyone who doesn't know already, I spend a lot of time talking about SAS doctors.

SAS doctors exist in the UK healthcare system as folks who aren't in formal training programmes, and who aren't usually consultants or GPs.
