Example of one of the amazing teams providing free NHS Health Checks to our most deprived communities in West Berkshire

@KunjappyHer @nhsbobicb Sorry Alice but this is not factually correct. It is scare mongering and deeply damaging to the practice.

#KFHealthInequalities @TheKingsFund
Great start- really inspiring as to why this should be front and center of NHS policy at all levels.

[Elizabeth Mottram @GPMOT79]

@KunjappyHer @owen_ystwyth @nhsbobicb @NHSConfed @NHS_BerksWest Aware this is a public platform so I’d need your permission to check. However feel confident that our work force are giving correct advice re diabetes checks and fasting for glucose but not fasting for Hba1c.

@ellenfallows @BritSocLM So important to get the message out there to all those with #diabetes so we can empower sufferers with the tools to make changes, feel better and come off medication!

Please @Edwina_Currie, shut up!

There are 7.2m million people on waiting lists👇, a problem created by political choices & > decade of underinvestment.

This wasnt caused by doctors (or anyone else) striking, but #PayRestoration will go a long way to sorting it

RT if u agree

@ellenfallows you must have some data at your fingertips?!

[Elizabeth Mottram @GPMOT79]

Looking for some data for traditional osteoporosis treatment versus exercise/ weight training in the elderly. Feels the additional benefits in terms of combatting sarcopenia and reducing falls also important. Any ideas or pointers v welcome!

@TheDrMagazine @seren_boyd Speaks volumes about what we are missing. Had a 76yr old this morning ‘hasn’t been exposed to DA’ but then proceeded to tell me about having boiling hot saucepans of Food thrown at her etc. If we don’t ask people will not talk about it. Great article- thank you

[Elizabeth Mottram @GPMOT79]

@sanditoksvig Wow. What are they thinking? Don’t answer that as it is more depressing than the fact this is still a reality.

New Year’s Day swim. I am so lucky for my supportive friends and family. And yes it was cold….

[Elizabeth Mottram @GPMOT79]

@Saramac7 We are still wearing masks and asking patients to wear them. Provide them for those who are happy to put one on. Not mandatory but have had increasing numbers of staff off with bad COVID and flu despite us being vaccinated.

But it should not have to be like this. General Practice needs to be better supported by the system- government/NHSE and the media. Various plausible solutions exist, only if there is willingness to engage and not berate.

@drchatterjeeuk Can’t wait to listen to this- have been running fibromyalgia group consultations for eight years at our GP surgery and always looking for new ways to support our patients!

On Room 5 today:

@HolSmale shares her amazing story with me - from her tough childhood, to her best-selling book that led to her autism diagnosis at 39.

Dr Sarah Lister Brook from the Lorna Wing Institute @Autism tells me why so many autistic girls....
