Self-management is vital to asthmatics. That’s why I want to hear views from asthmatics and HCP’s on asthma care in primary care (and how it can be transformed), for my EPQ. Please fill in this survey and share :) https://t.co/RgNHVBoJqK

@mancunianmedic @SnotSurgeon @patientsco do a great job with sending a digital copy to pt’s before prompting admin team to post out if the digital letter wasn’t read within 48/72 hours of being sent. Best of both, saving with each digital letter and offering a letter in the post if that’s what patients need.

My week started with a patient yelling at me that I was a “f*cking neglectful disgrace” & “I’m taking you to court”.

My week ended with another patient telling me “you should be ashamed of yourself”.

So yeah… that’s how General Practice is going in case you were wondering.

@sabrinaylor Same, for some reason I thought it’s nominal 😭

[Yusuf Akudi @YusufAkudi]

@OldburySally @Parody_RCGP @DrAdamHussain1 @DrJoFranklin @cannula_service @mouseter_chef Would be a good idea; maybe a template for this for contractual things for all GP surgeries, then personalised page for local contacts (eg here’s the number to local midwives)

@OldburySally @Parody_RCGP @DrAdamHussain1 @DrJoFranklin @cannula_service @mouseter_chef Would it be a website for patients or providers? Interested

@EmmaRayCLAHRC Thank you - would not have been possible without your help!

[Yusuf Akudi @YusufAkudi]

OTD 1 year ago, I’d finished the sharing of my survey results of my EPQ (A-level project) on asthma. Never did I think that I’d end up presenting an abstract @PCRSUK at the age of 18. 🧵

It’s easy to get lost in the negativity of #MedTwitter but here’s a wonderful example of what the community brought me😀

[Yusuf Akudi @YusufAkudi]

So here’s a massive thank you to all the following (apologies if missed) @MYPlannedCare @kchickman @76whit @amyrespnurse @AllergyBristol @HollyMinshall @CroyRespTeam @NHSWYRD @LauraKingCNS @CNSSinead @EmmaRayCLAHRC @KarenMarshall02 @casey_russell_ @PCRSUK

[Acute Care Division @myttacd]

Let us introduce our Acute Assessment Units Doctors' Assistants!

They are always super busy on the ward doing bloods/cannulas/ECGs & chasing things.

They also draft discharge letters ready for our medical team to approve & prescribe on!

@TPPTomH @charlotte_TPP Thanks for your help!

[Yusuf Akudi @YusufAkudi]

@charlotte_TPP @TPPTomH Hi, is there any way we can pass an OOH case on (if not in the same service provider group) via remote booking, for the OOH PCC module please? Would help a lot if this was possible. Thanks

This project was completed by partners from @HuddersfieldUni and the School of human and life sciences. This CARA framework with allow health professionals to effectively engage with population groups who are traditionally underserved. How can really listening improve services?

[Sarah Woolnough @swoolnough]

💯 this. A silent scandal. Hundreds of thousands of people with lung conditions don’t have a formal diagnosis. How can we treat effectively (reducing winter pressures and NHS resources) if we don’t accurately diagnose? ⬇️🫁

[Andy Whittamore @76whit]

Ensuring early, accurate testing for respiratory conditions will improve patient’s lives, outcomes and SAFETY.

It will also save the NHS money and work.

The NHS needs to invest urgently to help itself and it’s respiratory patients!
