@DrHuw Sticky tape used in this manner is an infection control risk.
Report it and have the monitor confiscated for deep cleaning.

@krishnakolidoc @Parody_RCGP @BMA_GP Blanket letter to hospitals:
ALL requests for GP to refer are automatically declined and you will not receive a notification that we have rejected.
In the unlikely event we agree to refer on your behalf we will write to confirm.
Adjust your processes immediately.

@Parody_RCGP A massive Slip n Slide and cover it in Diprobase. Then book myself a mental health improvement day

@DrGoblin3 I think that would make me want to drink rapidly too

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@DrGoblin3 Yes. Once.
As having a spare somewhere the child spends a lot of time is safe. But this should last forever and you should only ever replace one at a time as run out differently.
High request rate = automatic asthma review

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@DrGoblin3 Just make sure you aren’t using your own log in on the NHS computer

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@Parody_RCGP @TheSnoozeDoctor I’m sure we could find a GP to do the needful for everyone and simultaneously screw their own profession over. Tends to be our modus operandi for the past few decades

@DrSteveTaylor @doctor_katie @VictoriaTzB @DrSelvarajah @DavidGWrigley @drgandalf52 @SKinnock @amandadoylegp @NHSConfed @NHSEngland @HealthwatchE I like advice and guidance WHEN USED CORRECTLY.
Replies and advice that are supportive of pt & GP rather than deferring responsibility make everyone happy.
Enforcing will waste 1° and 2° care time, delay care and will leave patients suffering all to “manage” waiting lists.

@dave_dlt @Parody_RCGP Tuesdays

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@Parody_RCGP @DocEmUK I wouldn’t go that far!

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@Parody_RCGP Yes, you need a shower 😉

@ospreyalex @Parody_RCGP I’m thinking of just going a bit cryptic with responses of
“Please do better and try again”
Or “you’re wasting your time not mine, please do it again properly this time”

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@Parody_RCGP “GP to refer to alcohol nurses and educate patient on dangers of alcohol”
Pt was on a gastro ward and being treated for alcohol induced oesophagitis

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@Parody_RCGP Resp clinic (F2F 2 days before Christmas):
GP review within the next week to start inhalers as we are planning a treatment in January.

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@jdpoc @DocEmUK It wasn’t a trial.
It was poorly thought out and unequally resourced. It’s was a nightmare thats now less problematic in my area but they still haven’t sorted the issues everywhere
GPs also have no control over the way this is done but have to deal with fallout
That’s the issue

@drkeithsiau Fairly certain if you follow that you’ll get to meet the Wizard of Oz

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

Everyone in Greater Manchester lives within 15mins of a local hospital

But better 5mins of a local GP practice

Wes is opening some Neighbourhood Centre to bring hospital closer to home🤔

Want some services outside hospital?
Why not just invest in GP practices? @wesstreeting

@ExplosiveEnema2 @Dr_Done_ @goldstone_tony Let me guess, the pre-August shadowing/ assessments doesn’t count as contracted but is still mandatory

[Alan Wass @alan_wass]

@DrHFRyan Don’t forget, even if you think you could afford to employ a new doctor today, given the massive uncertainty around funding/contract/budget there is no guarantee you’ll be able to afford them in 6 months
