📝 The Opus

Referrals aren't clinical summaries anymore. They’re legal arguments. They’re auditions for care.

What happens when a failing system decides a patient's pain isn't worth a consultation, but a performance.

📝 GP partnership is a double life: clinician for the patient in front of you, steward for a whole community with finite capacity.
“Dunkirk in the Waiting Room” - the managed retreat of general practice, and why we’re blamed for the tide.

Let’s go back to 2010!

We didn’t need cancer pathways as urgent referrals were seen in 2-3 weeks, routine in 2-3 months

Recruitment was rising, jobs were good. It wasn’t perfect but in 4 decades of NHS work it was the best it had been

THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED ….

I'm reading the BMA doctors' testimonies about physician and anaesthesia associates.

Horror story after horror story.

Here's just one of them.

⚠️ IPC GUIDANCE

Newly-appointed Health Minister @AshleyDalton_MP has just responded to a question from MP @_Chris_Coghlan.

Chris asks when the NHS IPC manual will be updated to reflect the latest science on AIRBORNE transmission.

Let’s take a closer look at Ashley’s reply…

12). I started by saying you don't know me. Perhaps at least a little you do now, and in doing so, know the lives of we disabled. You'll likely not see this, but if you should, thanks for listening. And please, give me hope.

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

After working in A&E for just a little over a month, I thought I'd share my experiences as one of the front line doctors facing the current/ongoing crisis happening across our country.

A quarter through my placement, I already feel burned out and morally fatigued.

A new petition calling on the govt to introduce of new air quality & PPE guidelines in health & social care settings has been set up.

The GMC's minutes from their MAPs Programme Board meetings over the last twelve months make for some hair-raising reading.

"Is it time for us to lead, to convene, or to follow?" asks the GMC of itself.

Some things that particularly stand out:

[Kat Parmar @KatParmar]

Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

1/ The sheer depths of Downing Street’s wretched incompetence, arrogance, narcissism & macho posturing revealed this week shock precisely no-one who worked in the NHS during Covid.

Let me remind you (as I did at the time) what those early hellish days of Covid were like for us.

We stand and sing in solidarity with a different vision from #Braverman's of what our country stands for & who it should stand by🧡

Delighted to see 55 consultant anaesthetists & intensivists from Swansea Bay University Heath Board - some of whom have worked directly with odious misogynist Dr Peter Hilton - condemn him in the strongest terms.

Thank you @SwanseabayNHS for sharing.
