here's ANOTHER paper demonstrating why continuity of care matters... and why searching for quick access comes at a cost. Waiting a little bit longer for someone who knows you, and who will follow up with you may be better all round jabfm.org/content/38/5/8…

Fragmenting care costs more+ lower quality care. meantime qualified GPs can't get jobs in practices (complex but increased costs of running practices, underfunding /instability). far better to invest in stable core NHS GP (and read evidence on walk in services!)

NEW: John Swinney announces a network of 15 walk-in GP services to deliver 1m extra appointments Open 7 days a week, open 12 to 8. No appointment needed "They will break from the status quo," he tells SNP conference BUT, only ONE open by the end of the year, + Qs about cash

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS…
Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’
FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare
Please wake up folks.

@JonathanPieNews My mother was 56 when she lost her job in 1981. Was never able to get another despite trying anything advertised & approaching places. The local housing estate became overrun with heroin problems. Entire areas of unemployment and enormous psychological damage as well as poverty.

He had the privilege and means to live to a ripe old age. Unlike many during Thatcher's government when their livelihoods were taken from them.

In November, I expressed my concern that the Assisted Dying Bill could not provide adequate safeguards against abuse and social coercion.
I am still not satisfied - and that is why I voted against this legislation.

I’m genuinely shocked that this incredibly ill thought law has succeeded. When I worked in a hospice, we had to fundraise approximately £10,000 a day to keep it fully functioning. To see this bill succeed before palliative care is fully funded and available is almost unbelievable.

.@kimleadbeater you are misleading the House before today’s vote. You know the Royal College of Psychiatry - the experts in capacity & coercion - has explicitly opposed your bill. It breaks my heart that you would use a sleight of hand to mislead MPs and the public in this way.

@birthandbiology @TheBMA It’s almost as though they haven’t read the actual judgement but o my some news headlines or social media comments. It severely misrepresents it and I fail to see how that helps anyone.

Have had (more than) enough of Twitter/x. Bad for mental health, democracy, peace, humanity. I’m not a very active social media user anyway but each user feeds the profits of a fascist. Going to use Bluesky Social if you want to follow me there.
