Women are often taking on non-promotable work, like mentoring & building team cohesion, that is unrecognized leadership work. Organizations should expand their definition of leadership to include such work & make it promotable. michiganross.umich.edu/news/how-can-o…

Updating our approach to managing vaginal breech births - planned or not - will save lives. Mary Cronk was an inspirational role model and pioneer. But even she developed concerns about how 'Hands off the Breech' was used. Learn more: makingbirthsafer.optibreech.uk/course/optibre…

I am not a supporter of “total telephone triage” in primary care. Patients should be given the option of choosing the mode of consultation that suits them. For many people, a telephone call or an email may be fine. Others such as the elderly may prefer a face to face appointment.

No longer any GPs available at GP at Hand — I’ve tried three times over weeks to make an appt. Keep getting a ‘prescriber’ who is not authorized to help me and can’t even make an appt for me with an actual GP. Can’t direct me where to escalate for help. 😭

The Rapid Health eMed takeover of GPatHand has been disastrous. I am an NHS healthcare professional who has had to take time off work for a health problem, I cannot get treated because there are no appts available with actual GPs anymore.
