Dr Anand Rischie, Associate Medical Director for Primary Care for #WalsallTogether talking about how pleased he is to see so many colleagues here and how he is looking forward to showcasing the excellent partnership working

Medicine is the only profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, leaders just say: Why can't we get more resilient canaries? #MedEd #MedTwitter

Walsall mosque turned into vaccine centre to increase BAME jab uptake - Well done & thank you #teamGp in Walsall ⁦@WalsallCCG⁩ ⁦@NHSEngland⁩ ⁦@PHE_uk⁩ expressandstar.com/news/health/co…

@BBCBreakfast Schools are NOT all open for key workers at all. My poor HCA has 2 young children in different schools as one has special needs. She has received 2 x texts 10 mins apart last night to say school closed. Huge impact on #GPpractices.

Could you save a life? @MattHancock @NikkiKF @LmcWalsall @WalsallCCG @arischie @NursesSikh @BritishSikhDocs @BAPIOPC @BMA_GP @rcgp @PHE_uk

GP outperforming expectations regarding vaccinations which is not a surprise to some of us , imagine if we had done test and trace .Isn’t it now time this government and certain media organisations stop their long term denigration of our profession 🙏

@NikkiKF Vaccine supplies to whom.... Each site that GPs have stood up to work 7 days a week are hardly working a day in the week whilst triple amount of vaccine arrives to the neighbouring pharmacist.. Was told this will not happen... PCNs have not yet done over 75s but.....

As vaccine supplies allow, ALL those over 70, care-home residents and staff, the extremely clinically vulnerable, and health and social care workers in ALL parts of the country will be offered a first dose by the middle of February 👍🏽 #COVID19 #CovidVaccine 2/2

🎉 SO proud and in awe of all the teams in front of and behind the scenes who have delivered more than 5,000,000 first doses of life-saving COVID-19 vaccine.   #COVID19 #CovidVaccine 1/2

Enough is enough, looks like vaccine supply might not be an issue, except the choice of site... As apart from GPs everyone is having fair amount delivered @NikkiKF, someone will need to be Accountable to complex challenges thrown to primary care and then....

@dr_uzmaahmad @pulsetoday @NikkiKF And same locality PCN receives 400 dose of AZ as compared to neighbouring pharmacy 1200 doses. GPs moved heaven and earth to set this up @NikkiKF people from NHSE should be clear on expectations from primary care, shall we stand down our services and stop spending energy on this

A total chaos & shambles - they way this Covid-19 vaccination programme is now under command & control . It appears GPs are going to be victim of their own success .Inequality at all levels from supply to distribution of vaccinations and access to patients @pulsetoday @NikkiKF

Commenting on reports on mixing vaccines, Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisations at PHE, said: “We do not recommend mixing the COVID-19 vaccines – if your first dose is the Pfizer vaccine you should not be given the AstraZeneca vaccine for your second dose and vice versa.”

Walsall Modality GP surgeries are OPEN to their patients and working hard to keep patients and staff safe and well. Thank you to all the staff for their dedication ⁦@ModalityGP⁩

@PHE_uk @rcgp the only way to protect workforce in health and social care setting is to have testing readily available for them and their family members quickly. @didoharding

@didoharding @PHE_uk today we have had numerous calls from patients asking for GP letter to have testing. When did the guidance change? @rcgp @NikkiKF

@gmcuk @rcgp @NikkiKF as a GP can I refuse to see a patient if they refuse to wear mask, simply because he/she doesn't believe in wearing one?

#ThankYouTogether #NHSBirthday I’d like to thank all my NHS colleagues @WalsallCCG and health and care staff across the Black Country and West Birmingham for their extraordinary dedication, skill and compassion.

🚨 For my colleagues in #primarycare please join our weekly webinar for an update on #generalpractice preparedness specifically: #coronavirus #covid19UK @NHSEngland @PrimaryCareNHS

@narendramodi this is the time GOI should reimburse Healthcare costs borne by poor people due to COVID infection even in private set up.. Also every death or dying patient should be tested to confirm your true numbers - UK doctor working closely with COVID outbreak.

Many congratulations to @ClareGerada without whom this welcome development would not have happened pulsetoday.co.uk/clinical/clini…
