@BBCBreakfast Thanks, but…. What we actually need are more trained GPs and clinicians Successive manifesto promises = 6000 more GPs Numbers are falling and the toxic media and political rhetoric is accelerating this trend. Work force planning requires long term investment not lies

Thank you @BBCBreakfast and @DrRosemaryL for finally shouting out for General Practice. Am totally deflated and demotivated but the GP bashing. GP constitutes 80% of nhs care yet we get 20% of the budget. There won’t be a GP if it continues ☹️

@DrRichardPile @DrGoblin3 😂😂😂

@DrGoblin3 This clearly needs to be settled by a drinking contest. Specialists have to take a drink for every patient that the GPs see and never refer. GP’s have to take a drink for every patient seen by a specialist because GP’s have refused to. It’ll all be over pretty quickly.

At a wedding. Loads of doctors, some of us are GPs. It’s all kicking off as the hospitalists declare they’re seeing patients as we refuse. Oh ffs. Sigh.

@UniOfYork @UoYArchaeology That was most appalling graduation ceremony i have had to encounter. Not only was it virtual ( absolutely no reason why it could not be F2F - lots of other unis have managed it) … but you could not even be bothered to read out the graduate names or show their award on the lists

@LondonMarathon Ironman … it’s mad in the NHS atm ..

If Monday was a run what would it be? 👇 #LondonMarathon

Increasing the number of training places is only part of the solution! If we don’t pay nurses what they deserve for the value they bring, provide ongoing development as a right not a privilege and open up the doors for career progression, we will never fix this chronic shortage!

@DitsyRedOne Hi, please find the unroll here: Why people can't get a GP appointment: A thread. Everyone who has… threadreaderapp.com/thread/1423725… Have a good day. 🤖

@ClareGerada Here bloody here

What I don’t understand is if a patient needs regular blood tests for their hospital Rx why hospital asks GPs to do them. This is massively excess work for us. Surely hospitals has access to paper, computers, blood tests, phlebotomy? This has to stop. We are not PA’s.

@daisyflower88 @WeGPNs @PrimaryCareNHS @RCNGPNForum I’d be keen to talk to anyone that does manage to keep up - tell us your secrets!!

who else struggles sometimes to keep up with work load : clinics , tasks , notifications , e mails , interruptions , support , teach #GPN life . @WeGPNs @PrimaryCareNHS @RCNGPNForum #Emergency

@eveosh Thank you! I’d love to evaluate their unconscious biases if their overt behaviour is like this!

21/5/21: Final day@The Dominion #covidvaccine centre.1335 vaccinated💥.Has been an honour to work with 100s of talented individuals over the last 5 months saving lives in #pandemic.Special thanks to my co-clinical leads ⁦@Evaclemente13⁩ ⁦@ee_karms⁩ ⁦@EalingGP⁩

This #IND2021, we want to thank all our nurses working in #PrimaryCare for their commitment and compassion towards patients throughout what has been an extraordinarily difficult year. THANK YOU🙌💙 #PrimaryCareHeroes #GPN #GeneralPracticeNurses #CommunityNurses

#IND2021 #INDcare GPN care has empowered me to believe in myself. Nurses have amazing ideas & leadership skills. We can make positive changes! Be proud to be a nurse. @gpncare @jethornley @shinymindcoach @roylepryor @lomax_caroline @Sen9Jen @Pearson1Nina @kstorey63 @clareaminton

@marsden_paula @RCNGPNForum @EllzSummary @kstorey63 @NHSEnglandLDN @BrownNhsdeb @marsden_paula I heard a rumour that NHSE are reconsidering this.. would be good to see Nurses included in both the ARRS roles as well as in the AP role... but even if this happens, it will not address the inequity of T&Cs for GPNs

I see that ARRS funding will now include London Weighting. GPNs are so left behind. No A4C or LW ever. How is our role sustainable when primary care has so many new roles for free? @RCNGPNForum @EllzSummary @kstorey63 @NHSEnglandLDN @BrownNhsdeb @sfadormy

@NursesGeneral Local connections - who is lead nurse in which area etc

We are currently in the process of designing a website for Practice Nurses and wanted some ideas of what should be included - what information/activities would help you?

Already hearing stories of practices saying to nurses that the 2.1% pay uplift in the new GP contract - isn’t really there - practices offering 1% Accountability is needed now in general practice to ensure public money goes where it is intended - tired of the gaslighting. 1/

@DeanEggitt 9.21 is late lol!! 8.05 is norm for us and same list size ... it’s relentless...

It’s not just GPs, practice nurses & other staff are struggling too. Nurses tell us they’re thinking of leaving due to t&c, & value, reception staff receive abuse - real change in general practice is needed. @ClareGerada @Heatherrandle5 @BMA_GP @pulsetoday

With an easing of some restrictions only hours away, and availability of LFDs to all adults that they could do before travelling, why do England’s university students still have no clarity on when they can return to campuses where covid protocols already exist? #students #uni
