Tomorrow, after three years as Chair and three years as Deputy Chair, my time as an officer of the UK Junior Doctors Committee @TheBMA comes to an end.

It has been a privilege to represent colleagues throughout what has been an incredibly turbulent time for the profession.

I had my RSV vaccine today! 💉💪

As a paediatric SpR, I'm delighted that it is now available to protect infants against bronchiolitis. RSV causes so many admissions over the winter months.

If you are in third trimester of pregnancy, ask your midwife about getting the vaccine!

Today marks the start of the RSV vaccination programme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

This is a welcome move to help reduce the adverse health impacts associated with RSV infection in infants. Find our more our website: rcpch.ac.uk/resources/our-…

Plenary from Prof @RogerStrasser on how socially accountable medical training addresses inequities in rural and underserviced communities. Hidden curriculum assumptions - cities have prestige, rural work is somehow inferior. #DEMEC23

Next: update on Enhancing (Junior) Doctors Working Lives.
I was part of this group for several years from shortly after its inception; of all the programmes I was a rep to in my BMA roles, it was one of the most progressive and forward thinking.

Interesting that these AI programmes were able to pass medical exams, and yet that knowledge is not enough to work in medicine (indeed doctors ignore AI outputs in studies ...)
*Meaning* is important.
But also: what does this mean re: what our exams are testing?

AI won't be replacing doctors any time soon...
