@Keir_Starmer Is it April Fool’s day? How on earth can you things are improving? How about you come and spend a few days in a hospital on the shop floor, or in general practice and then make these ridiculous claims.

@DrVoles Whilst everyone is bickering over who is worthy of the best salaries the billionaires are laughing at us all the way to the bank. It’s not a race to the bottom. Drs are not the enemy. Blame successive governments for screwing working people.

@TheMaineWonk I mean why not just name it Donald Trump victory day? Clearly on some level he believes he had something to do with winning ww2 🤔

Better advisors needed @wesstreeting

If you are going to tell the public that there are more GPs, they are rightly going to expect their local practice to have more access

Sadly the way GPs have been recruited isn’t leading to more appts or more GPs

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@DrSdeG That’s why I feel a job in GP is only sustainable for about 25 years. I don’t want the decision making responsibility anymore I’m tired.

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@wesstreeting are you going to look further into this?

Latest for BBC News - I’ve been hearing the concerns of GPs regarding a blood testing firm. Read article here: https://t.co/kEoGeW9t25

@implausibleblog She probably couldn’t even point the UK out on a map.

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@Acyn She’s a real charmer.

@pixie_duff @DrHWazir @wesstreeting Because the money is being poured into the ARRS scheme meaning partners can employ PAs from this pot but not GPs. The money needs instead to go direct to partners and let them decide where they spend it ( eg on actual doctors not pretend ones)

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@SophyRidgeSky Great piece of journalism @SophyRidgeSky . As a doctor, the passing of the bill is unnerving. I can’t imagine any drs signing off on an assisted suicide without a high court judge at the very least. It is already a shambles. Something this important needs better leadership.

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

Teenagers are applying to study medicine not knowing the dire reality of being a doctor in the NHS. They will do a 6 year medical degree and take on a 100k student loan, just to end up unemployed at the end of it.

1000s of doctors are unemployed because they cannot get into speciality training. This is because there aren’t enough training numbers for them.

The government can choose to increase training numbers but are deliberately restricting them. This is because they would prefer UK doctors to be unemployed and desperate. This leads to doctors having no choice but to accept poor pay and conditions within the NHS.

This isn’t a failure of workforce planning. This is a deliberate dismantling of the doctor workforce.

When you can’t see a specialist, when you have to wait days to see a GP, or hours queuing up outside A&E, ask yourself why.

Those responsible should be resigning in shame.

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

Sums up the attitude towards doctors working in the NHS doesn't it?

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@medicalmodelbri @DrNeenaJha The partners here should be ashamed of themselves. No thought into the wellbeing of their patients. Would they be happy for their family members to be registered I wonder?

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@wesstreeting I’ve been a GP 20 years @wesstreeting and can’t get work. So please explain to the public why this is? Oh yes core funding is pitiful, partners can’t afford the number of GPs they need and you want to flood general practice with ARRS staff. That’s why people can’t see a GP

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@lynette_coleman @Roddy_Neilson Less you know the more you don’t know.

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@DrSdeG Our local hospital is constantly Opel 4. Managers in a panic. Meanwhile the moral injury to the hospital doctors treating elderly patients with hip fractures in the ‘ fit to sit ‘ area is horrific. Fed up with NHSE trying to pretend it’s not that bad. It’s diabolical and unsafe.

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@ShaunLintern @GreatOrmondSt @Meg_HillierMP Absolutely no surprise. We all know whistleblowers do not do well in the NHS.

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@DrEilidhMaria I saw your post and fully supported you ( and all your work on PAs .. ). Also called out the poster. It was totally unkind and uncalled for! Sounds like a wonderful F2 few months. Enjoy 😄

[Hannah Edwards @MrsHanEdwards]

@veggieequallife Ridiculous gmc reply.. do they study medicine? Yes but it’s not actually medicine and it’s shorter in duration… so why not just say no then!!
