Listen
Believe women
Don't use assumptions
Interject in the locker/boardroom

🧵 THREAD on BIAS in MEDICINE #MedTwitter #FOAMed

1a/

BIAS:

➡️ is integral to how we see people/make diagnoses: can't be removed

➡️ affects research questions that get asked, who gets funded, what gets published and in which journal

@FutureHealthJ: rcpjournals.org/content/future… Image
1b/

Bias training:

➡️ increases bias awareness

➡️ doesn't decrease biases (no evidence base)

➡️ bias training ignores communication, provides no debiasing interventions, doesn't measure motivation

➡️ doesn't address structural problems

🧵THREAD about public/healthcare funding

1/
🗣️ "We must not resort to infighting...instead of placing the focus of our rage where it deserves to be placed – at the feet of those who have been managing the NHS in recent years."
2/
It's not only mismanagement. It's consistent underfunding.

When you look at the govt's own figures, it looks like public spending is increasing: gov.uk/government/sta…

Note the y-axis is £ billions but not accounting for inflation (nothing about real terms).
3/
When you look in detail it looks like health spending is increasing and social care is constant.

Note the y-axis is £ billions but now IS accounting for inflation.

Reminded me of @euan_lawson for @BJGPjournal quoting Michael Sandel on meritocracy: bjgp.org/content/70/701…

🗣️ "In an unequal society, those who land on top want to believe their success is morally justified. In a meritocratic society, this means the winners must believe...

🗣️ "...they have earned their success through their own talent and hard work.… at a time when racism and sexism are out of favor (discredited though not eliminated), credentialism is the last acceptable prejudice."

Our group work looks at how race and racism affects the working life of a GP: bjgpopen.org/content/early/…

When it comes to issues of race / racism, is it comfortable to ignore them?
