Duuhhhh! Whodathunkit? What pandemic? We have learnt nothing.....FFS

Amy Small The sheer number of healthcare workers thought to be suffering from Long Covid is quite staggering… 34%… that’s one in every 3 healthcare workers in England. This is not sustainable.

Amy Small Its terrible that successive governments haven’t taken #MEcfs seriously for probably 60-70 years,fobbed us off with BPS mumbo jumbo&therefore weren’t remotely prepared to help people with #LongCovid when the pandemic came along.Nobody listened to us,we pleaded 4 help&nobody cared

I found writing my share of this article really quite difficult and emotional - and I didn't go through what these doctors did. Thanks to Amy Small and Rosie Baruah for talking to me about where we are now.

Sad to see the day that we have unemployed GPs in a climate where patients can't get a GP appointment. GP unemployment is a real issue, affecting thousands of doctors across the UK. Wasted taxpayers money. It has to stop.

“I’ve forgotten what it’s like to just be able to stand up without thinking about it” My 13 yr old, after we did a modified NASA lean test to see how meds are affecting her POTS. If you think long covid and PoTs aren’t real, you aren’t thinking hard enough. Ps - doctoring

Thanks to Dr Nóra Murray-Cavanagh for proposing this motion at The BMA #ARM2025 I managed to speak to it & it was passed overwhelmingly. Healthcare workers have been deeply let down by our government over #covid19 & doctors are losing their livelihoods due to #longcovid ENOUGH!

Ludicrous situation. You can't get an appointment with your GP.....yet, GPs are underemployed and some facing total unemployment! Costs £££ to train GPs & they will go abroad if they have to. Hoping Stephen Kinnock can support us on resolving this ASAP.
