My open letter to the editor @guardian
@KathViner about terminology of "pay awards".

Q: When is an award a rise?
A: When its above inflation

@theRCN @TheBMA @unitetheunion @HCSANews @unisontheunion @RMTunion

RT if you agree we need to be careful about terminology

@gps_scotland @scotgovhealth @HumzaYousaf @NicolaSturgeon I've followed Scottish gov advice which is to use remote consulting where possible. I've seen patients f2f throughout the pandemic, including high risk patients before my own vaccinations.

Matt Hancock has quietly told your GP to hand over your health data. Why? | openDemocracy https://t.co/eG56BmGNdd

Essential reading from Peter Doshi - need for caution and careful scrutiny of data and all claims for vaccine efficacy.

@RslewisSally Clinical coding usually creates the illusion of certainty!?

“As far as I’m aware she does not have any degree in economics.”

“I was and I remain a professor of economics.”

This is what happened when a Brexit Party MEP questioned the expertise of Green MEP Molly Scott Cato over post-Brexit trade.

@goldstone_tony Absurdly complicated scheme to tax and reimburse the same tax over decades and different governments via different incompetent outsourced bureaucracies. Zero confidence in this. They could just make doctors exempt. Is that too easy?

@mancunianmedic The more I learn the more I realise lipids are complex clinically uncertain and variable. https://t.co/uB14vKOUVV

@mancunianmedic Only makes sense if the purpose of hospital is to compete in the market to make a profit. Not if the purpose is to use public funds to provide decent healthcare. Which model do we want?

So excited to be running a day long HCP T2 Diabetes drug free remission event today in London with @Dr__Guess @peterfoley_7 & @BrownAdey My ‘graph of the week’ shows a MASSIVE ⬇️ HbA1c in a case over 6 years who needed support & to ask where her sugar was coming from -not drugs

@mgtmccartney @MarshallProf Well done thanks

1 in 4 adults in England were prescribed at least one of benzodiazepines, z drugs, gabapentinoids, opioids, or antidepressants in primary care (year ending March 2018). Of those 22%-32% had been on the drugs for at least previous 3 years @bmj_latest

@mgtmccartney not just time but cognitive burden. Try keeping a tally of all tasks/consultations/decisions that you do purely because of failures, delays or dysfunctions in other systems. (including waiting times, lack of communication etc). multiply by number of GPs over a year....

Perhaps our NHS could have the money back from when you sued it?
