Great letter in @irishtimes.com by Dr Chris Luke about NCHDs. It details the ‘traditional sources of frustration and humiliation’ NCHDs face daily in the Irish health system. This way of working does not encourage #DrRetention

NCHDs look at me with two heads when I suggest they shouldn't litter their paper with the term "real world", mainly because their bosses train them to do exactly that.
We've frustratingly allowed "real world" to become a deceptive synonym for "observations we happened haphazardly to make". I'd say half the studies that come to me now, the majority of which are useful but modest clinical audits, will have "real world" in the proposal title. It's magic!

Best of luck to all the NCHDs starting in new hospitals today. May your swipe cards be ready, and your time on emergency tax be mercifully brief 🏥

Best of luck to NCHDs this changeover - the archaic ritual of uprooting lives, moving house, family and work repeats.
This strain has no clear benefit.
Stability and support are long overdue.

Letter: NCHD changeover
The current way of treating NCHDs is archaic, stemming from a time where the majority doctors were young men with little responsibility
