So this is the new great idea🤔 I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs england.nhs.uk/long-read/refo…

mh.bmj.com/content/early/… ...for any who might be interested.

Do not herd all the GPs into one place and call them polyclinics, community NHS, NHS-Extra… whatever. Don’t do it. myemail.constantcontact.com/Depending-on-y…

@CarriePurdom @trishgreenhalgh Very sorry @CarriePurdom...should work now!

For any vulnerable folk in Bucks, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, trying to work out how to get a Covid jab this autumn...or for vulnerable children, this may be helpful: bit.ly/4fegpLa

"Many GPs would be happy to scrap the whole failed experiment of primary care networks. We’d like to make our own decisions about whether we need more nurses, GPs, pharmacists, or other roles." @HelenRSalisbury's latest column bmj.com/content/387/bm…

@rcgp paper of the year Why do errors happen in remote consulting in primary care? @BMJ_Qual_Saf: qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/33/9/5… How might they be mitigated? See resources: phc.ox.ac.uk/research/group… @SaraShawX2 @OxPrimaryCare @RCGPAC #RCGPAC

pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/featur… … says it all.

Delighted to have been elected Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee @CommonsHealth. From GPs to dentists, maternity services to mental health there is much to do. The committee has a vital role to play scrutinising govt as it tackles these challenges.

This report on the future of the NHS from the Tony Blair Institute @InstituteGC is dreadful. Rather than implement the obvious solution to increase primary care capacity (employ more GPs), the TBI wants to replace GPs with “AI-powered chatbots”. institute.global/insights/publi…

While a focus on funding and workforce is inevitable, Ara Darzi and his team must not overlook dysfunction in central structures in their review of #NHS performance, says @BecksFisher @NuffieldTrust bmj.com/content/386/bm…

Hi @BBCNews @BBCHughPym, Do you not think this headline is misleading? The patient was sent to hospital and discharged 3 times - why the suggestion that GP failed her? What was the GP supposed to do? Perhaps: "Patient Discharged 3 times by hospital, died" bbc.com/news/articles/…

@Oohgpwales @trishgreenhalgh Agree. This is one BAD day for the baby comms bod! Beautiful illustration of the general confusion though!!!

@LaylaMoran @trishgreenhalgh Hi Layla - I’d love to talk to you about this if you had some time? As @trishgreenhalgh says it’s an important part of my PhD and who I am as a GP - the MOST AMAZING job in the world!!! I am so lucky and can’t bear what’s happening to it! Do let me know if you have time?

@trishgreenhalgh Believe me people noticed! My inbox is full of people who want it back.

I don’t post much on here - but here’s hoping for a change. #DogsAtPollingStations

The problem with taskification is that it's inherently reductionist and attempts to atomise complex professional encounters into their component parts, and in the process, obscures the very essence of professionalism. The practice of medicine is not a series of tasks.

@DrGeraintPreest Lovely to see you!! Thanks for coming!

Good afternoon, Westminster and a gigantic queue

@pwhitakerwriter @trishgreenhalgh 👍🤞

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret 2/2 per patient since 2019. Simultaneously there is a move to fragmentary care and a non-doctor workforce - resulting in inefficiencies. Given this, what will happen to the future health of those who cannot afford private care and what will the consequences be for the country?

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret 1/2 All the evidence shows efficient healthcare systems have strong, accessible, and universal primary care sectors. The announcement of the 2024-5 general practice contract this week represents a continuation of cuts amounting to a real-terms loss of around 7% core funding
