interesting data but no real surprise

[Barbara Hanratty @BarbaraHanratty]

Fewer GPs per patient in poorer areas (2125 patients per GP in most deprived IMD decile v 1869 in least deprived) - Nuffield Trust/FT analysis quantifies inverse care law in England.

@runnermandoc Might this initiative improve dementia diagnosis rates as receiving a diagnosis may then actually confer benefit in terms of community care? @ARUK @alzheimerssoc @runnermandoc CADDY study @NIHR

See this @MOG_EA: Important #opioid research @bengoldacre useful for informing prescribing and medicines optimisation for #patientbenefit

[Ben Goldacre @bengoldacre]

Does the UK have a US-style opioid epidemic?

No, but rates have increased jolly fast, and everyone's missed that until now. We did the numbers properly.

Out in the Lancet Psych, today.

[Martin Knapp @Knappem]

Evidence says 'prevention', policy words from the top say 'prevention', but - as you say - local reality often says 'cut'. Part of the problem is the old 'diagonal accounting challenge': why should I spend my money now to save money for someone else a few years down the track?

We have signed this petition asking for the Government to consider increased funding to #just1percent of dementia spend for #dementia research. Quick and easy. https://t.co/ch3ObJeWOS

[Edward Pinches @Ed_Pinches]

Dementia costs the UK £26bn a year, but the government spends just 0.3% of that cost on research. Sign @ARUKnews petition calling on government to increase this to #just1percent https://t.co/92EK3k1pUS
