⭐️My 1st day as an Over-40 GP⭐️ ✅️ I suspect this is wise... but... 🤯 GP surgeries, with a 2% increase, can't manage the work this is attempting to create 🤔 I say 'suspect' because, isn't this a screening program? Deserving of evidence base & funding? bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

Study in 361 adults demonstrated that most people can undergo 1-3 days of monitoring using different BP thresholds with high degree of confidence for identifying or excluding hypertension @nih_nhlbi @DaichiShimbo @marwahabdalla ahajrnls.org/3Qnu1dB







So we reportedly have thousands of locum GPs now struggling to get work, whilst ARSS roles proliferate, and yet we have run out of primary care appointment capacity in the UK. Something doesn’t add up, folks. 🤔
