Very proud to have been part of making this with @ellieread90! No GP is “just a GP”. @JustaGPcampaign #justagp https://t.co/zbpZZteZFC

I would pay substantial money to see the Fijian haka dubbed by the freaky anthem singing child choir. #WALvFIJ

@tomhfh Isn’t the major difference that they have the ability to supplement their income with second/advisory jobs? Junior Doctors/nurses/physios don’t have this luxury.

[David Simmonds @OldJuniorDoctor]

@amapresident Lol. This is weapons grade trolling.

@Basmans_grob @SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs @Daily_Express Sorry, I wasn’t clear, my mistake. The Government are refusing to restore public sector pay in real terms whilst MPs pay has gone up £20k in the same period. I find that jarring.

A really interesting read as to why public sector pay restoration would have negligible effects on wider inflation… @TheBMA @SteveBarclay

@NewStatesman @RMCunliffe @pwhitakerwriter Really enjoyed listening to this! Quite inspiring in fact at a time when there isn’t much to inspire. I hope you get taken up on your open invite!

@SaulStaniforth Ah damn, looks like my pesky internal bleeding has come back. Thank god I can refer myself to Dermatology and get this sorted

This is one of the funniest pieces of live radio you’ll ever hear. And the animation adds an extra layer. #Radio #GerryAnderson

[David Simmonds @OldJuniorDoctor]

Just commuting into work in a busy hospital and am struck how the framing of this entire conversation makes it sound like there is no pandemic still going on. At one point the presenter said “now that Covid is over”. Completely astonishing. #youandyours

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Watch this brilliant video and retweet! If our secret observers, the medical students can see the value of GPs then why can’t everyone else? #ThanksToMyGP

Great 🎙️ this week with @ellieread90 speaking about the @JustaGPcampaign - give it a listen, and maybe even a cheeky follow if you enjoyed it #GPnews #podcast

@OrthopodReg I possess no travel adapters for these plug sockets and I have a decent collection.

I spoke with @OldJuniorDoctor and @ellieread90 from the @JustaGPcampaign about their efforts to tackle denigration of general practice in medical schools. They filmed GPs and trainees speaking about their experiences of the job to silence some myths #GPnews #justaGP #team
