So much has been said about continuity of care over the years. GP patient survey indicates its getting worse, its no surprise when there's such erosion of the workforce. Let's hope reforms on the table look to make general practice sustainable again Wes Streeting Kamila Hawthorne

The current model of general practice is failing to deliver continuity of care. The model needs to be turned on its head, building sustainable and fulfilling careers/ job plans for GPs (and the wider primary care team) need to be at the heart of this. bmj.com/content/389/bm…

Nothing to see here. Just an article saying palliative care services may be cut to ‘balance books’ a week after the TIA Bill Impact Assessment laid out how much money assisted dying will save the NHS.

FALSE FACT: Assisted dying need not detract from palliative care. TRUTH: AD is *already* detracting from palliative care. More than 100,000 people die every year needing palliative care but not receiving it, with inequalities +++. Where’s the commitment to fixing this?

I was absolutely trembling when I spoke with Nick Ferrari this morning on @lbc… About Gary Lineker and Gaza One day, I promise you, we’ll all look back with regret That this was the debate, while a genocide was ongoing.

Important intervention about trust. Representative UK data shows that 1 in 5 members of the public don’t trust health care professionals to provide high quality care towards the end of life. It is 1 in 3 among ethnic minority groups. These are the FACTS.

It's a dangerous bill, we need to focus on improving end of life care. My worry is that with care provision for many being what it is, people will choose assisted dying out of desperation.

Wes Streeting No, you’re really not delivering. As a GP I have virtually nothing to offer my patients. The threshold for CAMHS is very high and the wait months - the alternative is a website. There’s literally nothing in between.

"We’re training highly skilled generalists, encouraging them into a specialty we claim to value, only to tell them that there’s no work for them once they arrive." Rammya Mathew writes on trained, qualified GPs being left unemployed bmj.com/content/389/bm…

radio this am: NHS will do more prevention. true prevention is reducing the commercial and social determinants of health jobs housing green spaces active transport affordable childcare +ok yes vaccinations but if looking to the NHS to do prevention you are not doing it right

The NHS ten year plan: patient power or quiet exclusion. Diverting patients to apps and closing the door on outpatients by using automated information and digital advice does not equate to patient empowerment in my book. bmj.com/content/390/bm…

This is so true. When a student kept interrupting a colleague taking a history the other day, he said to him "for a GP, the history is like a scalpel to a surgeon" it's our superpower and how we make difficult decisions fast and safely. It is a complicated and skilled process

"The hope for AI enabled care rests on three flawed assumptions: universal digital access, algorithmic neutrality, and technological sufficiency." Can a digital NHS be equitable? Infrastructure and inclusion are key to the rollout of AI bmj.com/content/389/bm…

Disempowerment is woven into the fabric of the patient experience and, despite promises to change this, we may be heading further in the wrong direction with the new NHS 10 year plan, writes Rammya Mathew bmj.com/content/390/bm…
