Resilient GP®

If any of the GPs following me might know a colleague looking for a position in the south east, let me know. Have an opportunity available for the right GP. Made some innovative changes in the last year after dropping from 3 FTE GPs to me. Have gone from surviving to thriving.

We need to support small businesses to help to keep them from going out of business. Could we create a national or series of local registers of those who could switch to delivery services for food and products?

@PHE_uk @NHSEngland PLEASE prioritise Covid testing for symptomatic NHS Clinical Staff. Those who recover will become the frontline of the nation’s efforts, and those who are ill need to be kept well away from Hospitals/Health Centres or they will be Superspreaders #medtwitter

As if this situation wasn’t challenging enough to manage, we’ve got patients stealing hand sanitizer and toilet rolls 🙄

And, I suspect, most of the British GP workforce @ResilientGP #IstandwithChrisHiggins

@JennyMikakos The Dr was following official guidance at the time and I understand had already tested himself. Your actions are despicable, insulting and in the current situation, frankly dangerous

@PetuniaPuddled1 @JennyMikakos ‘First do no harm’ so given the potential daily contact we are all risking, perhaps we should all self-isolate just to be sure.

@ResilientGP @JennyMikakos He even tested himself, just in case! This GP needs our support and @JennyMikakos needs to apologise and resign -clearly doesn't understand how clinicians work

Dr in Melbourne travels to USA then resumes working, unwittingly picking up Covid19 & passing it on to several pts. health minister @JennyMikakos has not only blamed him but even suggested that he should be referred to the Oz GMC equiv Blaming front line staff is despicable

@DrSdeG @KatMcD86 @cahmn If a clinician can’t organise it, they should default to liaising with their supervising consultant.

@KatMcD86 @cahmn @ResilientGP Yup, consultant is telling a fib. They should be issuing note for the full duration for which they feel you will need to be off work. Part of NHS contract.

Recently been told by two different secondary consultants that they don't issue fit (for work) notes. They said must come from GP. So required GP appointment in order to get note. Luckily was able to do over phone with GP (they asked for length to put!)...seems odd. Any insight?

@DrSdeG @KatMcD86 @cahmn It’s complete crap and they and their trust need educating. Guidance unchanged since at least 2016. gov.uk/government/pub…

@Jeremy_Hunt @IpswichHosp That shows dangerous staffing levels @Jeremy_Hunt ; spreadsheets don't solve staffing crises, funding does.

Personal lists encourage GPs to deal with problems and prevent patients coming back says Dr Prit Buttar from @ResilientGP #pulselive

Perhaps it was Hunt’s wilful corruption of evidence “upset me”? GPs to be ‘shamed’ for missing cancer diagnosis? /13 google.co.uk/amp/s/juniordo…

Waiting longer and longer for a cancer diagnosis and all important treatment? /9

For outpatient surgery perhaps? /8 🤔 google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…

Was it my patients suffering in record breaking long queues under Jeremy Hunt that “particularly upset” me? In A&E? /7

Or the government spin that this was “overspending” and not gross “underfunding?” /6 theguardian.com/society/2017/a…

... or was it the “worst ever NHS deficit in history?”.../5

Was I “particularly upset” that we are 3500 midwives short, and 10,000 GPs short of a safe service? google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky… 🤔 /4

...or the fact that more nurses are leaving than joining the profession under Jeremy Hunt? google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg… /3
