Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.
He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.
But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.
While some people are spending the lives they are lucky to have throwing bricks at police officers, attacking places of worship and setting fire to public buildings I am thinking of these 3 beautiful children and their families, friends and community today❤️
There are a lot of fascists on our streets making lots of noise. They are massively outnumbered by the selfless, kind and compassionate, the people who know we have more in common than that which divides us. The people who know our human rights are universal. Us. All of us.
When I vote I don't want unaffordable tax cuts.
I want hospital beds.
Libraries reopening.
Trains that run on time.
Kids who aren't too hungry to learn.
Rivers that don't run with slurry.
Local councils not bankrupted.
Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.
If “length of stay” is changed to “time away from home” what impact would it have? Change the language. The purpose. The WHY in healthcare.
We need to keep patient time I focus. Their time is Precious. Wisdom from Dr Amit Arora @betterageing at #NHSConfedExpo@NHSConfed
I’ve spent the best part of the afternoon going through the notes of an elderly chap I’ve been reviewing over the last few years and making a summary for his new GP for when he leaves London soon. He’s had extensive input not only from me, his GP, but also inpatient teams, geriatrics, old age psychiatry, the rapid diagnostic clinic and other community teams including rehabilitation and psychological therapies. I know him and his wife very well. I’ve also had lots of contact with his specialists including his geriatrician and psychiatrist. It has been hard at times.. his care decisions have rarely been black and white and there have been set backs along the way. We have worked through new issues arising pragmatically. We aren’t there yet but we are getting there. His care is a great example of holistic and joined up care with the GP at the centre expertly co-ordinating next steps.
It makes me proud to be a GP. It also makes me even more sure we are irreplaceable. Only GPs see the big picture of everything that is going on. I cannot imagine anyone who works in primary care being able to do what I have done in this case.
The incoming @UKLabour government must rebuild the ruins that primary care currently lies in. There must be a focus on recruiting GPs first to fill gaps, not ARSS staff. We keep the NHS running.. please don’t let us disappear.

It's an utter tragedy that babies - in Britain, in 2024 - are dying of preventable, Victorian diseases in because of fears around whooping cough vaccines.
Parents - please chat through your concerns with an NHS nurse or doctor you trust.
We won't judge, we'll listen. (1/2)
Sadden to hear about these deaths that were preventable. Important reminder of how deadly whooping cough can be for the vulnerable. It is difficult to stop these infections, so vaccinations, especially for pregnant mums, are vital to protect newborns. Vaccines save lives.
In transactional relationships, people only reach out when they want something from you. They use your connection to achieve their goals.
In meaningful relationships, people get in touch when they think of you. Staying connected and being helpful are their goals.
Don’t ignore your cervical screening invite, and if you missed your last one, book an appointment with your GP practice today.

Cervical cancer will be almost eliminated in coming decades if HPV vaccination rates are high in children.
In England HPV vaccination coverage in schools is rising again but still below pre-pandemic levels. Please encourage children to get protected.

This morning I made a mistake. As a result I was 20 minutes late for a meeting. No one gave me a behaviour point. I apologised and we moved on. I’m not in detention now. That’s because I’m an adult and I live in the real world. Why should our teenagers be treated so differently?
We could get angry at Suella’s latest piece of performative, pandering cruelty or… instead:
let’s promote the excellent work done by @Shelter, @centrepointuk, @PassageCharity and other fine charities actually trying to help homeless people, especially now, as winter approaches.
Did you know that 50% of women declined their first breast screening invite?
If you have been invited for breast screening but missed or did not book an appointment, you can still contact your local NHS breast screening service to arrange one.

I’m invoking principle 7 of the Nolan Principles:
“Holders of public office should…..actively promote and robustly support the principles and challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.”
I see no objectivity, selflessness of integrity here. None.
