This is straight up dodgy behaviour, if not corruption on a scale seen apropos the Tories and the Covid contracts sandal. We see you @wesstreeting - you've been bought! Your mate Mandelson has taught you well! #SackWesStreeting #StreetingOut #SaveOurNHS

Once again, The Guardian highlights one-sided letters. This time criticising the BMA for expressing concern that non-doctors are covering doctor rotas in many places. This is ridiculous. If a doctor didn’t need to be on those rotas, they wouldn’t be called doctor rotas. Can…

This is the hubris that we worry about Do you want an alphabet soup practitioner making life and death decisions about you or your family? Or do you want a doctor with some of the best training in the world? Thats why other countries snap our doctors up by the way! #AskForADr

16/4/26 - I asked effectively, who "can triage in single point of access?" I got a holding answer - see 👇 On the last day of Parliament, I have been told: "It has not proved possible to respond"..."in the time available" Why? The contract was imposed on 1st April 26. 👇

@TonyMacaroni22 @SteelerGoalie94 Please go to A & E ❤️

similar situation I have terminal cancer and was unable to even keep water down, phoned GP to ask if I should go to A&E, he said speak with the palliative care team they finish at 16:00 - left VM they phoned at 09:00 this morning saying I need a referral from the GP Phone GP, told as I have a phone call with them tomorrow and I can ask the GP then

Tried to get a GP appointment. Told to go to A&E. Go to A&E. They say go to walk in GP centre at Northern. Go to walk in GP centre and see….. My GP. The system is utterly broken. #NHS #HealthService #GP

@SteelerGoalie94 Tories made it so but Labour need to man up against the rich , and act in the countries interest not corporate's. And re-build not rent out the NHS.

@SteelerGoalie94 @calamityjane65 Family member tried to get appt with GP. Failed. Then decided to use the private GP service provided by his employer. Got an appt. Walked in- it was his GP.

@SteelerGoalie94 Twice have called for same day doctor appointment - non available Call 111 as it was urgent, they say that they will arrange a doctors appointment. 30 mins later I am seeing the same doctor who didnt have any appointments left !

@cazzbeale @SteelerGoalie94 That new online system is being forced on GP surgeries by the government. It’s a disgrace. Your need for an urgent appointment isn’t trusted. It gets “triaged.” I found it so horrible and 1984 that I complained to the Practice Manager. All GPs should be writing to their MPs.

@SteelerGoalie94 Totally agree - rang the the doctor - they said go to the pharmacist - go to the pharmacist - he said ring the doctor - rang the doctor - please ring at 8am - rang at 8am - you need to book it online ! Book online - get “triaged” by the GP receptionist !!! Unprofessional

“NHS England missed chances to train more radiologists this year by announcing its funding too late. This mistake must not be repeated, or there will not be enough radiologists to interpret scans and patients will continue to face agonising waits for diagnosis.” @RCRadiologists

For anyone thinking of voting Reform, they will get rid of the NHS, you will pay huge health insurance premiums each month (in the US $500-$900 per month), BUT that won’t cover you for hospital stays. That’s another huge bill. I have cancer. My husband and I would be bankrupt.

@DrCareAnywhere who is supervising your ACPs working from home assessing ,diagnosing and prescribing for patients ? Where is the accountability?

🔥Pub 2013: 74-yo man patient with metastatic colon cancer liver/lung metastases,failed treatment with capecitabine/oxaliplatin/becacizumab. Mebendazole (200mg daily) for 42 days resulted in near complete remission of lungs/lymph nodes metastases/good partial remission in liver. "Second line treatment with capecitabine and irinotecan was started in December 2012." "first evaluation March 2013, significant progression was observed in the lungs and abdominal lymph nodes and there were new partly poorly defined liver metastases up to 8 cm in diameter" "In this situation with no standard therapy left, the drug screen observation in mind, the recent preclinical finding of antitumour effects of mebendazole in a mice model and a case report indicating anti-tumour effect from mebendazole in a patient with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma" "patient, after informed consent, started mebendazole at the standard antihelmintic dose of 100 mg twice daily, to be continued for six weeks." "The patient experienced no adverse effects from the treatment" "CT evaluation May 2013 there was near complete remission of the metastases in the lungs and lymph nodes and a good partial remission in the liver" "We conclude that mebendazole is seemingly a promising ‘new’ drug for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer."

@DrNeenaJha Which NHS trust is this? I hope it’s not mine!

What fresh hell is this?! A job advert for a haematology PA - with NO medical degree in a specialty with some of the sickest patients to: 🚩review unwell pts 🚩 LEAD ward rounds 🚩procedures including paracentesis, lumbar punctures & bone marrow sampling 🚩discharge patients

@DrNeenaJha Having had 2 lumber punctures and 2 epidurals a PA can f right off if they think their going near my spine. That's like asking dynarod to do a heart stent. Is the hospital sodding mad?

@DrNeenaJha WWNHSED? What will NHS England do? #WWJD What would Jesus do? News flash: unremarkably, Jesus wept. We need to ask the NHSE leadership team.. @SwordsFrankie @megh_pandit Do we have more X tags? england.nhs.uk/about/nhs-engl…

Streeting's responsible for the demise of our NHS. His 3rd rate health care replacing Drs with underqualified substitutes. His terminology, 'Reform' a pseudonym for his privatisation scheme. He's laughing all the way to his off shore account.

I will never be not bemused by how many national leaders & organisations lost their collective voice and spine when it came to International Medical Graduates. Especially the IMGs themselves in positions of authority Par for the course however when they adopt a similar attitude when it comes to safety of the public Cos whatever they are told to do- they will do. The lure of that seat >> Integrity Facts of #NHS leadership.
