GP friends. I think ALL surgeries should have a simple policy on supporting access for #ActuallyAutistic adults and children (& familes) to their doctor. Anyone want to work on it? (I'll help!)

@looneyfox_1 Sadly it's the same in Devon, too.

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

Ah, the hallowed halls of X. I've only popped on here to mention BMA council elections
I'm standing & my priorities are
⭐️Gender Pay gap
⭐️representing the South West &
⭐️neurodivergent doctors in the BMA
aiming to improve our working lives

@MJA9622 Ooh lovely! Congrats!

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

Well. It turns out a LOT of people I like have upped and flown off.
I think I might too. Pop over and say hello…

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@DrMikeFarquhar Awh that’s sad but understandable. Will seek your thoughts on another platform, hopefully 💕

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@dr_musgrave @TheBMA @kimleadbeater @wesstreeting @RachelReevesMP @lisanandy I did… my point is that the BMA *is* representing grassroots doctors here.

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@dr_musgrave @TheBMA @kimleadbeater @wesstreeting @RachelReevesMP @lisanandy I’d expect lots of organisations representing drs would input; I simply pointed out that the BMA has asked members their views on a massive scale.
I don’t think anyone would expect the BMA to have the “final say” 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@dr_musgrave @TheBMA @kimleadbeater @wesstreeting @RachelReevesMP @lisanandy It’s bizarre to suggest that @TheBMA which did the biggest survey of the profession in the UK on exactly this issue isn’t representing the views of the profession, when the policy is based on the survey. It’s actually a really good example of evidence based policy making.

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@emma_shircliff @helenvecht There was also a bonfire…🤷🏼‍♀️

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

You’d think that setting off fireworks next to the M5 in Somerset might be considered an unwise thing? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@ankitkant Yep. Seen all these “reasons”

Frankly, it’s distressing for us and for patients. 💔

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@helenvecht Yep. Massive pile up and several deaths near Taunton ☹️

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@Jennife10651535 Looked like a proper organised display, with a massive bonfire too. Just amazed it was so close to the road, given the Taunton disaster

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@lynnemblaylock @MissC_1717 Judgemental R2D2 is the best description 😂

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@DrJSherrington I can send some over tmrw?

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@BladeoftheS I’m based in the SE/SW and I don’t remember Halloween particularly being a thing; but bonfire night definitely was…

[Dr Lucy-Jane Davis @Academic_owl]

@WelshGasDoc He looks like a chap who’d be good at hugs. Sending sympathy for your loss x

Important NIC clarification for GP

[@DrKatie.BSky.Social @doctor_katie]

@BMA_GP I’m being asked - do we count as public sector?

Yes we do:

NHS GP Practices are defined as “Public Sector Authorities” in Schedule 1, Part III, Paras 44 & 45 of the 2000 Freedom of Information Act

@Jennife10651535 @DrSdeG Could you chat to someone from the bank? NatWest and hsbc have been really helpful with stuff like this in the past. (Probably the others are too, I’ve just had experience with those ones)
