@ #woundedhealer24 conference. Powerful start with@rachelclarke Breathtaking. Every 3 weeks a doctor dies of suicide. Every week a nurse dies of suicide. @NHSPractitioner helps

A study found people who had kept the same GP for more than 15 years had a 25% lower chance of dying than those with a GP relationship lasting a year or less. What gives continuity of care this remarkable power? @HelenRSalisbury ow.ly/u1We50GpWBX

@CChaseUk @pier_network @PremierWessex @WessexTraumaNet @SimComm_Academy Hi Clarissa, just to wish you all the best. Happy memories of our time at the Gamesmaker events in Eastleigh! Looked a great session. Bit worried about the audience member at the back who was asleep or unwell on the stretcher!!

Great turn out for the @pier_network @PremierWessex Paediatric Major Trauma day today! Brilliant education for hospitals throughout @WessexTraumaNet coming together to learn all things paeds trauma! Thanks to @SimComm_Academy for our actor patients!

@DrEmmaNash @louiserickmnd Well put Emma. As shown at the @RCGPAC it is really a case of @ContinuiTCounts. Consistent research showing benefits of continuity of care. And now a 5.2% reduction in workload so continuity really can increase access to care

Dr Mona Aquilina says @rcgp @RCGPAC Get the local ICBs to ask what a GP (and retiring GPs) wants to do in the area. Most will do what they want to at low cost or even voluntarily if supported

Thanks @RCGPAC for looking at why primary care has all patients and all diseases but the least research activity and funding. If you want to hear more about creating practical integral training in research chat to me at the e posters and see poster 5747 Hear how we can do this

Good discussion on continuity at the @RCGPAC @rcgp NHS question time! ……If you want to chat more about this join me at the e poster 5746 on how to increase continuity Kate Sidaway, Mark Rickenbach (or 5747 Research in GP training)Have a good morning

Today @VoorheesJen alongside patient representative Paul Eyre are presenting at @RCGPAC: “Rethinking access to reduce health inequalities: An opportunity to explore the Optimising Access Resource Set” a fully booked session! There is also a poster outlining the methods. #RCGPAC

@HazelEveritt @rcgp @UoS_PrimaryCare @UoS_Medicine @LeedsCTRU @capcbristol Well done on the presentation and lancet publication

Tonight’s EGM - 1500(ish) online was a fantastic demonstration on how doctors can influence policy. We have a lot of work to do but I really feel our membership has spoken and we have an enormous responsibility to advocate for doctors and our patients. Thank you @AnaesUnited for making this happen. (Recent pic of council included, I’m proud of our diversity and how I really feel we represent the average UK anaesthetic department)

What does the term ‘EDI’ really mean to you in your everyday life? (Be honest please, this is anonymous!)

Thanks for much needed guidance on improved culture and also for better continuity of care for patients - the fifth new GMC recomendation- which will save lives @NHS_Education Dean Professor @AbdnAlan @gmcuk Good Medical Practice coming into force Jan 2024. @ContinuiTCounts
