I don’t know about you but if there is no serious criminality, abuse of power or corruption the private lives of public figures are of no concern to me.

Advice and guidance is failing when there is no response after 2 months. Delays referrals, delays patient management, unhappy patients. #GPCrisis #teamGP #adviceandguidance

Medical school being cut from 5 to 4 years is wild. Like are they just going to leave massive chunks out? Have they decided that we need to know less? Or that there is less to cover or less to learn? Why not 3 years or 12 weeks? Explain this to me like I’m 5 years old.

Why am I reading a 50 page “health screen” report from randox health as an NHS GP 😡 #teamGP

@RoyalFreeNHS switchboard is cutting out. Can’t get through to anyone this morning!

Is it smart card nhs identity agent turn to completely fail today?

About time.

Today a patient asked me which bus route they should take to get to the surgery. I didn’t know the answer and now I feel like all the clinical knowledge I shared was useless in their eyes.

For every dermatology request coming through “please prescribe oilatum bath additive” ⬇️⬇️⬇️ GPs should not prescribe bath emollients for under-12s, NICE suggests - Pulse Today pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinical-…

Patient just took another call in middle of teleconsult with me and then hung up on me! OFFENDED!

Every medicine seems to be out of stock at the moment. Ear drops, steroid creams…why???

Walked up to the top of Ilkley Rocks this weekend and @GarminUK registered it as ONE flight of stairs. We’ve fallen out.

Ladies, 101 of a single missed period…do a pregnancy test. Always surprised by how many people don’t bother!

My mum still thinks I’m 5 years old but I LOVE IT.
