@British_Airways can you help. My friends travelling on a long haul flight with you this year and has Coeliac disease so can’t have gluten. She’s also a lifelong vegetarian but been told her meal can be either veggie or coeliac but not both. Is this true?! #coeliacuk #coeliac

🩺 Why is it so difficult to see a GP now? ❓
1: We’ve lost the equivalent of 2,212 full time (60+ hrs a wk) GPs since 2015. 📉 🧑⚕️
Assume each GP has a list of 1800 pts (often an underestimate) that’s a whisker below 4 million patients without access to a GP. ⚠️🥼

Dr Margaret McCartney perfectly articulating the issues facing general practice here.
Dr Nóra Murray-Cavanagh@now_its_nora
There is not a single word here that I disagree with @mgtmccartney is, as usual, absolutely spot on 👌 GPs “absorbing the risk that clinical uncertainty presents, and preventing the rest of the system from being overwhelmed.” #GP #NHS75 @FT ft.com/content/ccfa05…

@99Stickling The vested interest he's not taking on is Private Healthcare
They need GP's out of the way so anxious patients can be ripped off by self-referring for unnecessary investigations and treatment.
GPs are the REASON for NHS efficiency, get rid of them at your peril @wesstreeting

Pretty disappointed to see this from Labours shadow health secretary. Total lack of understanding of what GPS do. Nick breaks it down perfectly here. Who do I vote for now?!?
Nicholas Grundy@nick_grundy
Words can't adequately express how ignorant you would have to be about the "gatekeeper" role in the NHS to suggest allowing self-referral to hospital, @wesstreeting. thetimes.co.uk/article/b46133… 1/n

The media is putting more focus on #NHSCrisis You see reports from wards, hospitals, Emergency Departments, Ambulances of the immense pressures faced by my colleagues in secondary care But what does this crisis look like in #primarycare? A thread 🧵...

The NHS is in crisis.
Patients are unsafe.
Our members are saying loud and clear: enough is enough.
For the first time in the RCN’s history, our members have mandated strike action throughout the UK.
RT to support nursing.

All political parties need to stop making pointless national GP access announcements. They are not deliverable. Focus on retention of staff + recruitment of a wider set of roles first
Michele Paduano@MichelePaduano
The Liberal Democrats have set out plans to give patients a legal right to see a GP within seven days, or within 24 hours if in urgent need. The policy would be enshrined into law in the NHS constitution, putting a duty on the government and health service to make it happen.

@AManWithNoDog A word that has stuck in my lexicon and is still used to the confusion of everyone here in England. They are missing out.

@Hermesparcels delayed my delivery for days until I was on holiday, now I’m back I made sure I was home yet I’m told they tried to deliver 1 hour ago. Photo of my door yet no knock or ring. No way to raise an issue via the website. Desperately terrible service.

@AshlingLillis @acutemedicine What is there left to achieve. Probably time to retire on a high.
