@David_Cameron David, science and mathematics exist for a reason. This isn’t a decision to be based on rhetoric or emotion. Yours, a urological surgeon.
Dear @David_Cameron
I know you mean well, but unfortunately screening for early disease may sound logical and sensible but can also be ineffective and harmful. Recommending a bad test leads to false reassurance, and harms through unnecessary or ineffective treatment that only /

Things to remember and to watch for in Washington today. 1. It is assessed by many Military leaders in Nato , UK & US that for Putin to take by force the 4 Oblasts will take a further 2 million Russian Casualties & 4.4 years. Without Trump , Putin doesn’t hold all the cards 1/9
People churn out more and more of this stuff without it seems any restriction. Meanwhile no one wants to pay for the time spent doing it. The 2.5 SPA in the contract came in *before* appraisal and when mandatory training was a fire lecture and CPR once every three years! Not much causes me more misery than the second image.
Doctors DON’T have a final salary pension
Doctors DON’T get their exams paid for
Doctors DON’T get overtime
Doctors DON’T get their equipment paid for
Doctors DO pay for their own training
Doctors DO pay for their own stationary
Doctors DO earn less now than 2008 in real terms
@19MW98@NEndoscopy@ollieburtonmed@UKGastroDr@timricketts_ Reality is % of funding going to GPs has fallen from 11 to 5, whilst still providing 80-90% of healthcare. Productivity has dropped in hospitals & increased in general practice. Number of consultants up by 48% & GPs down 5.5%. Anyway you look at it hosps are the problem.
Q: Your intel says there’s no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon.

@Parody_RCGP DRE is in guidance , especially in symptomatic pts with normal PSA
Why have @BAUSurology not updated guidance before going to Times? 🙄
@rcgp you need to counter this public GP bashing by @BAUSurology for following their own guidelines 🙄
The British Association of Urologists call out GPs for using outdated assessments for prostate.
Checks notes....we are following their guidance which they admit to not having updated since 2016.
Taylor said it best....
GP practices £/patient/year
Risen from £152.81 to £169.75
This includes all costs, staff, patient appts, buildings etc
If this had kept with inflation this should be £207
A real terms cut of £37 (£2.3bn)
Can’t see a GP blame the Govt & @NHSEngland@wesstreeting more needed
