“The ICB said it would income protect QOF for 2022/23 to enable practices to use their clinical judgement on how best to prioritise workload and workforce ‘without concerns around the potential financial impact’” sensible commissioners reacting to a problem 1/2

If you think the government should be treating the situation in the NHS as a national crisis, please retweet this. Let’s send ministers a message 💙

4/ Wes Streeting went on to say "Im perfectly fine with having a tax unregistered scheme." The BMA agrees. A #taxunregistered scheme removes the enormous complexity around pension taxation (& other solutions) as it completely fair to taxpayers RT if you agree #taxunregistered

The death toll in Montana is up to 254. It's a sad reality that wolves there are facing traps + snares when they should be focused on the arrival of their pups. Retweet to call on the @interior to prioritize conservation over bloodsport. #RelistWolves → bit.ly/3XmkAwz

Monthly net salary 2005 DR - £2,168 MP - £2,293 2023 DR - £2,108 MP - £4,939 This is why I support the #DoctorsStrike And last year over 7,000 doctors left the UK for better paid jobs overseas. If you want to save the NHS, you too should support the strike.

In response to the Telegraph's recent article about GP priorities, GPC chair @DrKatie.BSky.Social says that it "demonstrates a lack of understanding of the environment in which general practice is forced to operate." Read her letter to the Editor: [1/] telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2024/0…

💪 Today, we’re galvanising GPs from across England, Scotland, and Wales to make our voices heard. 🗣️ Now is an important moment – to work together, speak as one unified voice, and let politicians know that they must help us Rebuild General Practice. #RebuildGP

That’s the end of some practices in 2024/25 - this is purposeful destruction of General Practice in England It is vital that Andrea Leadsom and Victoria Atkins act to save General Practice

I’ve created this video to raise awareness of what’s happening to the NHS and General Practice now. Have tried to make it an interesting 5 minutes linking back to its history, despite the sad message being conveyed. Would recommend watching to the end as Nye Bevan gives a rousing
