THANK YOU BMA - finally a campaign to explain why people are not getting the service that they want/need. Already up on our practice FB group @BMA_GP#GPsOnYourSide
@DavidGWrigley@BMA_GP It looks beautiful. I 100% approve of the posters. Makes me realise that I was right when I used to get frustrated at wishing for more.
Excellent work boss!
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
I can’t name a system that’s caused more war and bloodshed than religion. As an atheist it enrages me to see people justifying immorality, atrocity and human suffering in defence of a belief system without any logical basis. Believe it if you want, but don’t kill people for it.
It’s possible to totally condemn actions of Hamas, as I do, & still believe humanitarian emergency in Gaza is appalling. UK Govt must call on Israel to show restraint, lift blockade, allow aid to reach civilians & guarantee safe passage out for medical care #ceasefire#Palestine
Teenage boys stabbing teenage girls, men on tv saying who they won’t shag, comedians accused of rape and other horrendous acts.
Men are lucky we only want equality and not revenge.
Relatively elderly patient asked for GP home visit for ongoing chronic issue. GP arrived to find patient wasn’t in. Patient later advised was at another appointment with a hcp that doesn’t ‘offer’ visits. Fair? Or serious undervaluing GP resource? Discuss…. #TeamGP
“The climate crisis is too expensive to deal with”
“The NHS crisis is too expensive to deal with”
“The overflowing sewage systems…too expensive”
“The crumbling schools…too expensive”
When Sunak and his Ministers say “too expensive” they mean “not personally profitable”
So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.
Pls RT if you agree.

I don’t retweet nonsense but this “ask for a doctor” campaign is just a new low.
If everyone insists on a doctor, we’re all gonna be off with burnout come Tuesday morning
Give GPs a fair number of patients to see per session, dedicated time to do home visits and admin, time for professional development (equivalent of SpA in the consultant contract) and retention wouldn't be an issue, people would work more sessions and continuity would improve.
We shouldn't need to add 'access to a toilet at all times' to our Schools Reasonable Adjustments document.
But it seems we do.
Locked bathrooms other than for very short windows of times are anxiety-inducing for neurodivergent pupils.
A 'toilet pass' does NOT require a GP letter.
Those MPs saying there is no alternative to remortgage costs rising by £3k (average) pa, have their second homes paid for by you. Along with their energy; travel & subsidised food & drink.
Let’s scrap subsidies for MPs. See if they are still ok with interest rate rises.
@SebPillon@dave_maroni Doesn’t need defending with other work… I only do two GP days a week because they are so intense. 12-14 hours of making decisions with potentially serious consequences for patients. Never mind part time, many excellent GPs have already left the profession!
‼️ A part-time GP is, in reality, working full-time hours.
⏰ Data shows that the burden of an unrelenting workload is leading part-time GPs to work 10 to 12-hour days.
How can a burned out general practice continue to serve patients to the best of its ability?
Tough on call today. ED was so warm and overcrowded - patients waiting for several hours on trolleys in corridors.
I apologised to everyone I saw, for the wait and lack of dignity
Nearly all replied with the same line…
“It’s not your fault doc. It’s this bloody government!”
