RCP Council: 51 members, 49 with voting rights. Of that 49, no more than 19 are in any way directly and democratically elected from wider membership. Rest are ‘ex officio’ or appointed. Easy to see how RCP could become an unresponsive fiefdom run by & for primary benefit of /1

Please can we fight to keep this sort of consultation/continuity in General Practice?
My Dad was an old school cradle-to-grave country GP. This sort of thing does matter.

@MedicMolly22 It definitely counts! So I'm following you on here and one day, inspiration will strike, and we'll do cool medical archaeology excavation! The dream survives! 😁 (this is an exciting day for me!) 😊

[Infectious Disease Ethics @ID_ethics]

Once you take a global perspective, a pandemic looks like the ocean's rising tide

Interventions that aim to prevent or delay infections/cases are like tiny ripples on the surface of the water

The only interventions that matter are those that reduce severe disease
