@ThisisDavina Well lobby HMG to properly fund primary care . We have a budget of £130/yr for unlimited access to our services ; we cannot recruit or retain so unfortunately people do have to wait . And menopause is not life limiting . I am a GP and PERIMENOPAUSAL

[Fiona Ferguson @FionaFerguson20]

@ThisisDavina And remember better access to services in primary care, menopause or otherwise need better FUNDING. That is down to our gvmt not down to the hard working GPS that are trying their best

[Fiona Ferguson @FionaFerguson20]

@ThisisDavina We do them in general practice all the time . With anaesthetic if requested . Please don’t scaremonger ladies . We are honestly trying our best , and HRT is not right for EVERYONE. I am speaking as a GP of 20 years AND a woman taking HRT WITH A MIRENA.

@EwenPearson2 @milesmack @DrAndrewCowie It was always destined to fail . An abject disaster of a contract . I voted against it .

[Fiona Ferguson @FionaFerguson20]

@SteveBarclay No you are not

We’re making real progress in getting patients to see their GP quicker.

✅ Almost 2 million more appointments were delivered this February vs. February last year.

🗓️ That’s 100,000 more appointments each working day.

📈 With more GPs and primary care staff to come.

"If you want to dive into the #ADHD in girls #research, you'll hurt yourself, it's so shallow there... it would be safe to dive into the boys end, though" Lotta Burg Skoglund @ITAKOM_CONF #ITAKOM #ITAKOM23

💕 “How did you cope with having a child with ADHD? We just loved her” @rorybremner recalling a story.

Children & people with ADHD are not being difficult, brains just work in different ways. It shouldn’t be called a disorder.

Love everyone, It takes All Kinds of Minds #ITAKOM

@HolSmale @ITAKOM_CONF What a powerful talk , thanks so much for your candour @HolSmale
