Exciting day of launching Call 4 Concern @NHSHomerton 🎉 Thank you to all the patients and relatives, staff members and colleagues that came to hear about it at the stand, as well as the @RCPhysicians #chiefregistrar programme and supervisors for creating the opportunity!

Amazing scenes at the launch of ‘Call 4 Concern’ today @NHSHomerton . Thank you so much for our Chief nurse @mcmanusb Medical Director and Chairman, Sir John Gieve for stopping by!!!   What is Call for Concern you say? I am glad you asked….🧵

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

How to destroy the NHS: Step 1. Run it into the ground with austerity. Step 2. Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector. Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care. End privatisation, support striking workers and save our NHS.

A fantastic but terrifying stat that our >65yr population will increase by 43% in 20yrs… hospitals aren’t ready, social care definitely isn’t. #bgsconf #socialcare #geriatrics
