except most winter viruses will go away by themselves and don't need specific treatment let alone appts with healthcare staff - and most members of the public know this and wouldn't dream of going to a GP with a cold!

I looked at this and confirmed this is the main problem with the NHS plan By removing the skilled clinicians at the beginning of the pathway it has massively raised the cost and time of the whole journey A GP would have managed this without all this time wasted and imaging - yet the GP is removed and a less skilled clinician put into their jobs - what a cock up we are about to witness And it is going to be even worse with spinal problems

More “nitazene” in Canada. Anyone taking one of these familiar looking “Oxycodone” pills not realising they contain instead a “nitazene” many times stronger than fentanyl, would sadly be very likely to die, unless given immediate naloxone.

Good morning from Plymouth ☺️

People going on about the importance of prevention. Well of course. But without acknowledging the conscious underfunding and undermining of UK public health it’s just sound bites/‘public health’ lite, not the hard deep work of addressing inequality

. .@vicderbyshire asks on @BBCNewsnight why is anyone sleeping on the streets in the sixth largest economy in the world. Too many people arrive on the streets from hospital - there's a cost-effective solution to help them leave homelessness for good.👉 bit.ly/3ZXC9q3

I don't know how lush they're feeling now 😕 #lostandfound #hyundai #burrator can we get them back to their owner?

I've called on the UK Government to step up to its legal and moral obligation to stop ALL arms sales to Israel. This is crucial to help secure a permanent and lasting ceasefire. #StopArmingIsrael oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/c…
