In so many ways I mourn for general practice. We must rescue it before it is too late.

The more steps/variables in processes the more it goes wrong. Keep it simple , patient consults with GP and jointly they make decision . Then take most direct route to next stage. Vote No to the imposition of the contract . bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/…

If #TeamGP don’t vote NO to the new contract. GP is over! You might have employment, but like pharmacists, you’ll be in Tesco at 10pm Apathy & negativity won’t fix it. The future is either Pharmacy working for big corporations or Dentistry / private but working for big business

Ever heard of Palantir? Here's why it matters: Palantir is a US software company. It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes. In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.” Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used to surveil and target migrants in the US. Now, that same company is working at the heart of our NHS. Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England. Healthworkers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right. What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide. We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with our precious NHS. Learn more: amnesty.org.uk/issues/interna…

6300 Neighbourhood Health Centres already in walking distance of 90% of the population Cost to bring hospital to community just 1.5% of NHS budget £50 per patient per year Yet @wesstreeting doesn’t want to do it instead it’s 43 centres rather than investing in GP practices

@CarlBovisNature Wow what a picture Carl.

A nest building Grey Heron, high in the woodland treetops. 😍😊🐦

@natalieben @DrNeenaJha How do we opt out?

Over 50,000 patients have asked not to have their data placed on the Palantir federated data platform. The government must listen — public trust is essential to the NHS, and it cannot be taken for granted. #Palantir #NHS

I’m fuming Dr Amir Khan on ‘No Appointment Necessary’ nails the problem with the new Advice and Guidance It’s effectively moving the hospital waiting list to the community so it’s not counted against Govt targets We see you @NHSEngland @wesstreeting youtu.be/X9MkVcquAOk?si…

@DrSteveTaylor Crackers decision for patients and GPs. Does this mean no of GPs will increase by 25%…..

Government sets target for one in four GP referrals to be ‘diverted’ by 2027  The hospitals are making such a bad job of reducing the waiting lists so Dear GPs kindly sort it out for us! There is one GP for every 5.3 hospital Doctors Do the maths🤷🏻‍♂️ pulsetoday.co.uk/news/2026-27-g…

If you want Baroness Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords and to repay the £136,000,000 owed to taxpayers, please RT!

Oh dear. Unnecessary deaths are so sad. Are there enough cardiologists?

This morning. One GP practice. One hour. 240 clinical tasks before most people had started work. Four every minute. No political thanks. No headlines. Just a small teamy doing what they do every single day. When these practices close, nothing replaces them. Nothing.

The tragic death of two university students in Kent shows the seriousness of meningitis. All young people should ensure they are up to date with their vaccines including MenACWY. Awareness of the symptoms of meningitis and prompt treatment are also essential to improve outcomes.

BREAKING: Israel is dropping white phosphorus on the village of Khiam in South Lebanon. On homes. On civilian areas. This is a war crime. Not a peep from the international community. Not a word from the International Criminal Court.

This is not Iran. This is not Lebanon. This is Gaza tonight. Israel is currently raining bombs on 3 different countries, targeting civilians and vital infrastructure. This is not the behavior of a “victim.” This is terrorism.

This is what Elon Musk doesn't want you to see on this platform. This’s what your media won’t report. Israel is dropping bombs on tents full of displaced families in Beirut, Lebanon.

Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year. According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually. That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats. Numbers don't lie. Our priorities do.

The independent sector creams profits from Tax payers money In addition to its hospitals network, Spire runs more than 50 clinics, medical centres & consulting rooms across the UK It is the largest provider of hip & knee operations in the country @wesstreeting buy Spire £1.5bn

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation linked to the strikes on oil depots in Iran, the desalination plant in Bahrain, on oil infrastructures in Saudi Arabia and Oman, and beyond. Bombing oil depots across Tehran didn't just kill civilians. It poisoned the air, covered in thick black toxic clouds of smoke, contaminated the water and turned the sky into acid rain, raining oil on millions of people with cancerous polluted air entering every lung. This has serious environmental and humanitarian consequences. Hazardous "black rain" and "acidic rain" in Iran and Saudi Arabia could pose serious health risks as toxic pollutants spread in the air, and the attacks on desalination facility in Bahrain has also threatened water access for civilians—raise concerns of "wider regional pollution exposure", with the long-term effects of pollutants, affect respiratory health and contaminate water, that will affect people for years. Every bomb dropped on an oil depots is a time bomb for the people and the planet. This has moved beyond geopolitics. It's a crime against humanity.
