Prostate cancer can have no symptoms. But new loo changes matter. Over 50, Black, or family history? Ask your GP about your risk and whether a PSA test is right for you. It’s not perfect — but the conversation matters. @ProstateUK @CR_UK #ProstateCancer #PSA

Lads: when did you last check your testicles? Lump, bump, swelling, heaviness, ache or anything different? Don’t ignore it. Most lumps aren’t cancer — but they need checking. 30 seconds in the shower could save your life. @CR_UK @macmillancancer #TesticularCancer

Men don’t live as long as women. Heart disease, cancers and late diagnosis all matter — but so does not going to the doctor early enough. Blokes: don’t wait for a crisis. Get checked. @TheBHF @ProstateUK #MensHealth

High blood pressure often has no symptoms — but a quick check could save your life. ❤️ Many pharmacies offer free BP checks, and 24-hour monitoring may be available if needed. Know your numbers. @TheBHF @BloodPressureUK #BloodPressure #NHS

The data in GP records was a ‘aid memoir’ of consultations

It was & is a sharing of information between the patient & their GP to aid their care

The fact that people have decided it was more than that is the problem

It is NOT NHS database

It is an individual’s shared history

📮 Bowel screening kit arrived?
Don’t ignore it.
Dr Damani explains how this simple home test can help pick up tiny warning signs early — before they become a bigger problem.
For men and women.

That bowel screening kit through your door? Don’t ignore it. 📮 A negative result is very reassuring; a positive one may catch a problem early. Tiny kit, huge difference. @bowelcanceruk @CR_UK #BowelCancer #FITTest #NHS

Is your personal medical information safe from profit-seeking under the government’s plans for the NHS?

GPs block data sharing to highlight concerns & protect patient data.

‼️Misleading headline‼️
With hundreds of millions of GP appointments, complaints are a tiny fraction of interactions.

Most relate to access and communication, not proven clinical wrongdoing.

This reflects system strain, not incompetence.

Sleep apnoea is common, often missed, and NHS guidance says loud snoring, breathing pauses, gasping/choking noises and daytime sleepiness are key signs.
Don’t diagnose yourself online at midnight. Ask: “Do I stop breathing in my sleep?” @NHSEngland @asthmalunguk

Celebrating 300 years of Guy's Hospital.

Last night, Wilmslow Health Centre’s Dr Amar Ahmed and Dr Fari Ahmad attended the hospital’s tercentenary celebrations, returning to the historic medical school where they trained more than 30 years ago.

Founded in 1721 by Thomas Guy, Guy’s Hospital has made an extraordinary contribution to medicine, medical education and patient care, both in the UK and internationally.

The evening included a visit to the original medical school building followed by a gala dinner overlooking Big Ben, reflecting on three centuries of innovation, compassion and service.

What continues to define Guy’s is not only its academic and clinical excellence, but its enduring commitment to kindness, dignity and compassionate care.

The evening concluded with a personal message from King Charles III delivered by Dr Michael Dixon, Head of the Royal Medical Household and fellow Guy’s graduate.

🚨 Powerful moment on @BBCBreakfast this morning.
Our @WilmslowHC GP @drfariahmad shared something that stopped us in our tracks.
Her daughter, newly qualified, 3rd generation British doctor, got her first NHS job posting. Her FIRST question to her mum?
"Do you think people will be racist there?"
Let that sink in. 💔
Not "what will the team be like?" Not "where will I live?" But whether she'd be safe from racism while caring for patients.
This is the reality of working in today's NHS. Abuse is rising. It impacts: 🩺 Patient safety (burnt-out doctors make poorer decisions) 👥 Recruitment of the next generation 🚪 Retention of brilliant staff we've trained
We can, and must, do better.

Dear @jamesmurray_ldn ,

General Practice delivers 90% of NHS activity on less than 10% of the budget.
34p per patient per day.
30 million+ appointments every month.
Still the only part of the NHS not routinely running a deficit.

Your government talks about “shifting care into the community” while starving the very service expected to deliver it.

If you want to save the NHS, fund its front door.
If General Practice collapses, the NHS collapses with it.

A real privilege for our doctors to be invited by @martingcurley1 to deliver the Distinguished Lecture, “A Vision for Future Health Systems”, at the 4th International Digital Health Summer School at @MaynoothUni this week.

One of our favourite events in digital health, not just for the unmatched Irish hospitality, but for the energy, ideas and genuine openness to rethink how healthcare should work.

We shared some of the work we’ve been building at Wilmslow Health Centre across digital triage, AI, modern EPRs and proactive population health, all grounded in the realities of frontline NHS primary care.

Particularly humbling to follow such an outstanding group of previous speakers and distinguished lecturers, including Dr Jerome Adams, Bernard Gloster, Prof Daniel Lasserson and Lucy Nugent.

Huge thanks again to Martin and the whole Maynooth team for having us back.
