@Jenny_Long1 @Leith_Primary @NHS_Lothian Some tough questions! 😁

[Shelagh Gillies @GShelagh]

@nandimedics @BenAllenGP @DrGoblin3 Yes all in Lothian do and I think most use them. Easily found on intranet. Staff check frequently - emails scanned to be come part of the pt record and workflowed to most appropriate person to action ( which might not be a GP)

[Shelagh Gillies @GShelagh]

@BenAllenGP @DrGoblin3 Our practice has a generic “clinical inbox” consultants frequently use it. They can say FAO a particular Dr if they want to. If urgent it goes on the duty dr list to call them back.

@MartinSLewis No mandate now and lost confidence of the public. There needs to be a general election.

@DrSimonHodes @TheBMA @TheBDA I phone their dentist or emergency dental cover and explain their patient needs to be seen as an emergency with their dental problem and that I, as a GP am not very good at teeth. They are usually offered an appointment.

@BellaRoscetti @trimeginalnerve So cute!

Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

[Shelagh Gillies @GShelagh]

@dee_quigley @LianneMcInally1 @LeezaCairney @ClaireBald1 Yes! Although hope you’re suggesting for senior patients rather than we are senior 🤣

[Shelagh Gillies @GShelagh]

@FareeaAhmed @Cambridge_Uni Congratulations 🎉

@GodlessLiz No it doesn’t. Doesn’t come across as aimed at tourists and random stuff could happen to anyone anywhere. Wish I could convey to citizens in USA they would be totally fine without any guns though. We don’t have them and we don’t miss not having them (uk)

@PeeblesElouise My birth plan was “I’ll do my best and we will just see how it goes”
