@EveryDoctorUK Ambulance arriving? Hilarious. Elderly women left on the floor for eight hours with a fractured hip.
Other Countries have better outcomes with different systems, time to stop NHS worship and recognise that it's a failed system.
English
It’s easy to forget about the NHS when things are going well. But in life's most vulnerable moments, an ambulance arriving gives us hope.
The NHS belongs to all of us. Our charter outlines a clear vision to protect public healthcare.
Protect it. Sign here: link in bio.

@Sanders4Health We have more than sufficient GPs, but waste their time on nonsense, and give them financial incentives not to treat patients.
Pay GPs for seeing patients and watch their availability dramatically improve.

Dr Hayre is right. The UK has a serious shortage of doctors. We need to increase their training and employment. Somewhere in the government and NHS leadership a decision was made to train and employ Assistant Physicians with short cheap training. Who did it and when will it stop?
Dr Jatinder Hayre@JatinderHayre_
The NHS workforce debate is built on a lie. Britain has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in the developed world; yet instead of mass expansion of doctors, the state chose a cheaper experiment: Physician Associate and ACP quackery. 1/3 ft.com/content/f7e019… via @ft

@sophia_edw28123 The inevitable result of huge Socialist bureaucracies.
Ask anyone who grew up and worked in Eastern Europe before '89, the NHS is deeply familiar.
English
Years of NHS mismanagement have created a dangerous staffing crisis.
Burnout and rigid shifts push nurses out, while skilled staff leave wards for ANP roles.
Patients face delays, overcrowding and unsafe care as standards continue to decline.

@TheOxfordMail British Gas are not paying, the British Gas customers who pay their bills are paying, on top of the £50 per year they are already paying to cover the bills of those who don't pay. Joke.

It was fantastic to join Blue Coat School’s Girls’ Football Festival, organised by Avaani and her dad, who made the tournament possible.
After Avaani wrote to me about the idea, I was pleased to help connect local schools take part -Chad Vale, Summerfield and City Road. ⚽️

@DrJoFranklin @rodrig39386 @sophia_edw28123 Incentives absolutely are the issue; link Practice Funding to number of ftf Consultations and watch availability suddenly dramatically improve.
Link GP funding to Patients Satisfaction and watch " computer says no mentality" evaporate.
English
@DaveS525907 @rodrig39386 @sophia_edw28123 34pence/day capitation fee for patients on list to access any & all services GPs provide.
Incentives are not prob. Issue is funding removed from GP practices. £1.6+Bn/yr since 2019 taken from GP core funding to fund mostly non-Dr ARRS roles & £0.8+Bn to fund Pharmacy First. 1/
English
Freezing GP training expansion during an NHS workforce shortage is reckless.
Patients already face long waits for appointments, and delaying new GP posts risks worsening access to care when the system urgently needs more frontline doctors.

@sophia_edw28123 The NHS is failing for the same reason that we don't see cars with square wheels.
It's unfit for purpose, however much money we throw at it.
English
Claims of NHS “recovery” don’t match reality yet.
Waiting lists are still high, key targets on A&E and cancer care are being missed, and much of the improvement came from short-term funding and “cleaning” the lists rather than fixing the system.

Broad evidence shows the detrimental effect of austerity on health life expectancy, yet this remains largely unspoken within mainstream health and policy discourse. The evidence is clear, but the narrative isn’t bmj.com/content/393/bm…

@rodrig39386 @sophia_edw28123 Fix the incentives and there would be a surplus.
Why see patients when you get paid regardless?

Performing a medical task requires more than knowing how & when to do it. It requires knowledge of what not to do and when to ask for help.
We don’t recommend that PAs perform LPs, amongst others. Medicine cannot be broken down into tasks. Some things require a medical degree
