#TeamGP, read this: 1) you have been defunded 2) HMG/NHSE hate you 3) your patients will be the collateral damage Time to rage. Rage and act. The Gods will not save you. YOU need to save yourselves. Join. Vote. Win. Care.

It's like telling Chefs that they must cook tasty food. FFS. We want to do this, it's just that you fund us like a dodgy burger van and then launch literal shit bombs at us. Then you shut us down because we aren't keeping the place clean.

The Conservatives, Department of Health and Social Care & NHS England have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country. 🧵👇

Dear Dr Amanda Doyle, It is with regret that I must inform you that the work experience kids at NHSE have got hold of your signature and added it to a letter sent out today. I know that could not possibly put your name to the collapse of General Practice. Kind regards Mike

The problem with taskification is that it's inherently reductionist and attempts to atomise complex professional encounters into their component parts, and in the process, obscures the very essence of professionalism. The practice of medicine is not a series of tasks.

I don’t post much on here - but here’s hoping for a change. #DogsAtPollingStations

Hi BBC News (UK) Hugh Pym, Do you not think this headline is misleading? The patient was sent to hospital and discharged 3 times - why the suggestion that GP failed her? What was the GP supposed to do? Perhaps: "Patient Discharged 3 times by hospital, died" bbc.com/news/articles/…

While a focus on funding and workforce is inevitable, Ara Darzi and his team must not overlook dysfunction in central structures in their review of #NHS performance, says Becks Fisher Nuffield Trust bmj.com/content/386/bm…

This report on the future of the NHS from the Tony Blair Institute Tony Blair Institute for Global Change is dreadful. Rather than implement the obvious solution to increase primary care capacity (employ more GPs), the TBI wants to replace GPs with “AI-powered chatbots”. institute.global/insights/publi…

Delighted to have been elected Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee Health and Social Care Committee. From GPs to dentists, maternity services to mental health there is much to do. The committee has a vital role to play scrutinising govt as it tackles these challenges.

Royal College of General Practitioners paper of the year Why do errors happen in remote consulting in primary care?

"Many GPs would be happy to scrap the whole failed experiment of primary care networks. We’d like to make our own decisions about whether we need more nurses, GPs, pharmacists, or other roles." @HelenRSalisbury's latest column bmj.com/content/387/bm…

Do not herd all the GPs into one place and call them polyclinics, community NHS, NHS-Extra… whatever. Don’t do it. myemail.constantcontact.com/Depending-on-y…

So this is the new great idea🤔 I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs england.nhs.uk/long-read/refo…
