Not on here now, but Dr Helen Salisbury nails the 'injections for obesity' issues, again. Social determinants of health, people... As an NHS GP, I can now prescribe weight-loss jabs – but a quick fix for obesity is not what we need | Helen Salisbury | The Guardian

Congratulations to @thomasdolphin and well done to @DrPhilBanfield for leading the BMA into the fight so capably for 3 years. @Vish_Sharm @Doc_IonaCollins and Dr Penny Toff would also all have led us well. A privilege to be involved in a big day. Onwards, FPR.

At its best, this platform was great. This is not its best, and has not been for a while. Leaving for now, fighting the fight for GPs and patients elsewhere. On the other side, peeps…

Having experienced delays of >1hr last night and >2hrs tonight, am unsure if persisting in using UK railways is worth it. @LNER

This: I do free healthcare for falling income, annd andvoc for my patients tirelessly and am not NHS? @UKLabour @wesstreeting @marykfoy @EmmaLewellBuck - do you want GPs to be private operators? Please tell us this was an error.
Dr David Wrigley@DavidGWrigley

I can’t begin to tell you how insulting it is to be told by politicians that I’m not in the NHS. 27yrs as a doctor. Given my all for my NHS patients with huge personal sacrifices over all those years. 100% committed to NHS. And a Labour govt tells me I’m not NHS. I’m fuming.

Not a comment on ability, but in order of who I’d have a beer with: 1) Walz 2) Vance 3) Harris 4) Trump I realise I am a UK voter and am biased by military service; also, none likely to take up my offer of Brown Ale in Gateshead.

The latest GMC statement has got me looking at how many doctors are posting about PAs under their own name. Fewer than I thought, but I’m not alone. Give me a wave if you’re a doctor commenting on PA, GMC etc under your own name?

Unbelievable. What on earth are you playing at, @NHSEngland? How can it possibly serve patients to pretend PAs with neither medical degree nor any post-grad medical exams can teach qualified doctors? This is cut-price, reckless & arrogant. Patients deserve better, @wesstreeting.
Dr Luke Craddock@DrLukeCraddock

I really don’t know what to say. Is it appropriate to have a PA teaching medical students or F1/F2 doctors? beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

Love that we solved low cost, high capacity public transport 40 years ago and just decided never to do it again anywhere in this country…
