I spent time with some awesome newly qualified GP Fellows yesterday If you’re a newly qualified GP, or recent-ish CCT & job hunting, do you want a practice role or a PCN role like ARRS? (I know what I’d advise, & what I’d choose - but I want to check…) @m_ratwatte @bma_gp

@MrAndrewCotter These videos were the only good thing about the pandemic for me. Absolutely brilliant.

I see this has resurfaced tonight.

@Oohgpwales And the leading cause of death is suicide I believe #pnmh #hiddenhalf

The @Conservatives, @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country. 🧵👇

A word of caution here, folks: 👉1.9% = a disgrace 👉to match 2019/20 we need 8.7% putting this derisory offer into context 👉#FPR for salariedGPs ~ c£450m 👉Total practice income/patient has ⬆️ by only £15 in a decade - Yes! *£15* Nice words won’t save General Practice 🧵👇

@DrSdeG I will do this for you!! And then eat it.

One day I want to go to a party where someone has actually made a fererro rocher pyramid! (I don't even like them) I just need to attend to take a pic....

'You will have your shift, do your work, you will be rewarded for the points you score based on patient satisfaction outcome measures, you’ll have your review on the website as to how good you are.' @dr_zo's dystopian view on general practice in 2044 bit.ly/42Or762

If anyone thinks that racism is only about tackling issues in white individuals? Then you aren’t aware enough The views of many from South Asian community towards black colleagues are equally abhorrent And reflected in #NHS Challenge your own bias “Colourism” is a thing.

0️⃣5️⃣ working days left for @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland to offer safety, stability and hope for GP practices across England for 2024/25…. ⏰⏳🙏 @BMA_GP @DavidGWrigley @Sammyyrra @DrPhilBanfield @ERunswickBMA @TheBMA

I worked as a GP in care homes during the 1st wave. Wearing limited &homemade PPE. Asking patients I’d just met what their end of life preferences were, with my face hidden behind mask and visor. Seeing the impact of no testing before discharge. And so many deaths #Breathtaking

1. Expert generalist GPs over skill-mix 2. Quality over quantity 3. Continuity over access 4. Autonomous patient-advocacy over banal service standardisation 5. Individuality over uniformity 6. Choice over compulsion 7. Human connection over AI 1/x pulsetoday.co.uk/news/breaking-…

I don’t always know the right words to say, but as a physician and human, the violence toward medical facilities and patients in Gaza is awful and heartbreaking. To all my colleagues in health care risking their lives to save others, my heart is with you.

@ChrisMoyles Love ya Dom! You make me smile! #happybirthdaydominicbyrne

It’s Friday! #happybirthdaydominicbyrne

@jameshoggarth I know exactly who this will be - he is intimidating and unpleasant, and ironically often stood near a church. Definitely worth reporting to the police.

Very saddening and disappointing to hear blatant homophobia being preached in the centre of #Beverley a few moments ago. Having just attended the Communion (to have our Banns read) I suggest that man attend a service that actually celebrated Pride and love 🏳️‍🌈

@ChrisMoyles I wouldn’t. That stuff causes horrible rebound congestion. Steer clear, drink plenty and do some steam inhalation!

@nickbostock Nooo!!

Not just journalists in the #ConfLMC23 press room 😬

@DrFJameel @RoshanaMN @doctor_katie @ShabaNabi @HeedDoc Definitely remember it. Was awful.

@RoshanaMN Do you know if this is true of anon comments via web interface at conferences (will need to look into which platform). Whilst I escalated, no one with authority was interested in looking into the matter. @doctor_katie @dr_zo @ShabaNabi @HeedDoc remember this?

For the ANON accounts on here spouting full blown hate speech, homophobia, racism etc; a story 🧵 …… Some time ago I had multiple online communications from an anonymous person which were threatening and/or malicious, much like what you are doing

Stick to your guns all those taking part in the #JuniorDoctorsStrike. The #NHS needs staff so it needs #PayRestorationNow for a safer future NHS - strong support from your #GP colleagues round the country

How long can ministers stick to the shaky line that they can't talk to @BMA_JuniorDocs while they seek a 35% pay rise when the public back doctors? Negotiations have to happen eventually - as they did with other unions. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

The junior doctors operating on your appendix are paid just £66.55 between them. For a potentially life-saving procedure, which lasts about an hour. Is this a fair price to put on high quality healthcare? #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike
