As opposed to what babe? CBT should also be offered but there's a waiting list? GPs can't fix the cost of living crisis or personal trauma and fluoxetine is an anti depressant? So 400mg?
£75k to be a GP is so sad.
@HSJEditor if you can’t read a scientific paper- then my top tip is to at the very least read what the authors themselves have said
But thanks for the continued doctor baiting.
Irresponsible and inflammatory as usual.
What is worrying is that this document was co-produced by the @RCPhysicians, @acutemedicine and @GeriSoc.
The inference is that all these groups now endorse fully endorse workforce substitution.
After the furore over PAs, this is bitterly disappointing. Because it is the same
@rallybird2 @MedRegoncall1@nhsswipecard@Paramedic_LDN You’re absolutely allowed to think whatever you believe
In the same way, as an anaesthetic consultant who’s spent an awful lot of time on ITU, I’m allowed to tell you current health policy is cynical & unsafe IMHO
Amazing physios yes
Amazing physios on medical rotas, no
Dr Substitution is an uphill battle
AHP’s mark their own homework with ropey, biased research, policy makers lap it up b/c healthcare costs are spiralling & a few senior, self interested medics enable it
Just one question…
Why will private patients always see a consultant?🤔
@partywcrypto@HaQ_mAn@frauleinruby patients never want to hear how to actually treat it, they just want tablets.
If someone says "stop drinking 6 cups of coffee and red bull, drink 3L water, wake up at 0600 every day and get bright light immediately upon wake, and follow sleep hygiene guidelines" they get upset
Criticising one form of substitution while championing another is a logical fallacy however fervently one tries to deflect & deny it
Long-standing qualifications to do a safety critical job don’t just disappear
Leadership needs to be more common sense & less about agenda
It’s sort of amazing how the nation has been hoodwinked into believe that GPs must be doing nothing if people can’t get appointments.
Plumbers, hairdressers, pop stars, swanky restaurants all have waiting lists for the best.
You can’t get an appointment because theyre all full.
