Many people seem to think that general practice, as a discipline, is easy. The longer I practised as a GP, the more I became aware of the uncertainties of medicine. To fully own a problem with a patient, hold that risk, and see it through carries a huge weight of responsibility

@medicalmodelbri @Molly2323232323 @999Daedalus007 @ClearThinker66 @LostDazes @Mary_Tom11 @DeniseC48200342 @TKCanute @DrNickDalmon @anaesthetic_spr I think the skillset of GPs is enormously underestimated, including by doctors unfortunately. Patients don’t just present with discrete episodes (which the ACP model is designed for), it’s all interwoven. This attempt at efficiency surely produces the exact opposite.

NHS staff are desperate and patients have experienced untold disruption, but the Government refuses to lift a finger to negotiate a compromise to stop further chaos. This is a Government that’s clocked off for Christmas, leaving NHS staff picking up the pieces. Disgraceful.

Wesley has been telling fibs again. Santa’s not going to be happy. @wesstreeting

Mike Henley 🤨@trentconsultant

Looks like Wes Streeting, Kier Starmer & the whole DHSC media spin team are bang to rights here by JVT. Currently no super flu & no NHS wide crisis. A lot of apologies needed from those players and the media in general. As we’ve said, even if it became a problem we’d use derogation.

The NHS survived this year because staff absorbed the consequences of decisions they didn’t make,chaos they didn’t create. The blunt message from this year is the NHS is led by someone who isn’t clever enough, experienced enough and is too cocky by half. myemail.constantcontact.com/Downing-Street…

Now we know why Rishi Sunak refuses to negotiate with NHS staff. He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure. #PMQs

I'm only a humble ED doc but I can't help thinking that the problem in our EDs isn't caused by patients, it's caused by political failure. Last time I looked it wasn't patients with hiccups in my corridors, it was sick elderly patients who we couldn't get into a hospital bed

@gingermarm Hi Anna, we're still working with the Chatsworth Estate to extend our lease beyond this point so for now it's taken off sale until we hear more. Please keep an eye on the website and app for more info. Thank you 😀.~Beth

1/ Imagine you’re waiting for ice cream. 🍦 There’s one pro scooping — fast, smooth, efficient. Now she’s replaced by 3 helpers who sort of know what they’re doing. They spill more, take longer, and keep asking for help. That’s what’s happening inside the NHS. Welcome to queuing theory.

Very hard to believe that this is a Labour Government or that Wes Streeting really understands how doctors are trained. A complete shambles. 😠

neil orpen@neilorpen

Very bizarre attempt at power move Threaten the public that he will sabotage provision of skilled doctors deliberately if junior doctors complain about pay

@SKinnock This is nasty bullying talk reminiscent of Jeremy Hunt, Steve Barclay etc. I had hoped for better from you, @wesstreeting and the rest of the Labour party. I am so disappointed in you all.

Stephen Kinnock@SKinnock·10 Eki

We are now expanding access by allowing patients to make booking requests online - with 85% of practices already delivering this. Sadly a rump of refuseniks in the BMA are dragging their feet, but we will never let the forces of conservatism turn our NHS into a museum.

Yesterday I was honoured to speak at the @rcgp conference where I set out how we’ve increased funding by £1 billion and recruited 2,000 more GPs. Together we’ve made real progress, and patient satisfaction is up. gov.uk/government/spe…

selective emphasis determines what the public ‘thinks about’, rather than what they ‘think’. >Only 4% of us will be using the NHS at any time. Most will think they've had a positive experience. >The other 96% will think about the NHS, and it's broken. myemail.constantcontact.com/He-doesn-t.htm…

@marksandspencer why can’t reviews be written? The ‘write a review’ button has disappeared from all items on your website.

Wes is normally the master of saying different things to different people, but this article is a mess. Strikes were simultaneously infective and hugely damaging. Doctors are both people he wants to work with and an enemy to be defeated. You can't have it both ways Wes.

Dr Shivam Sharma@DocShivSharma

Why is @wesstreeting talking about "war" with doctors? Doctors do not want or have not asked for any "war." Doctors just want a reasonable journey to pay restoration. This kind of rhetoric is unnecessary and needlessly inflammatory. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@wesstreeting Wes whilst good to note how effective primary care is - we could do a lot more if resourced properly rather than miserly 6% of total budget. 20-30% of GP workload is admin burden, which could be freed up. Also population grew 1.1% past year, & 7m extra appointments only ⬆️1.8%

@DrLKVaughan And a nurse

Louella Vaughan@DrLKVaughan·29 Tem

at least 4 people - consultant, SpR, SHO + intern. Everyone would know the pt, but often DIFFERENT things about the pt. Each person would also review a separate artefact - the obs chart, the medication, the XR etc + contribute analysis in context of the discussion. 3/

Consultants SHOULD see pts on their own! Using resident doctors just to drive computers is awful! Work fit for only someone else! The hoo-ha over derogations has prompted me think a bit more about what ACTUALLY happens on a WR. Thread about cognition + safety 🧵 1/
