I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

How dare you take credit for our hard work. 71% of GPs report extreme stress, and GPs are leaving in their droves. More appts does not improve quality, it just pushes the workforce to quit. If you want the NHS to survive don’t fall for this government’s rhetoric #blameMPsnotGPs
"What I've seen over the last week... a really obvious attempt to use the memory and respect for the Queen to very quickly bolster Prince Charles credibility as the new monarch, and I think thats actually quite cynical in some ways"
@paulpowlesland on #GMB this morning.
@SophiaCariad@DeanEggitt Or your director (and you) will be dealing with a long and laborious complaint, which will direct your time and attention from patient care. Where are the consequences for the abuser?
Dr hospital doctor. Every time you ask me to act as your SHO in community you’re taking me away from doing my job as a specialist generalist. I’ve 38 years experience. I’m not there to chase up your blood results/organise MRI/follow up BP and so on. Please do it yourself.
@SimonBradley8 @kyle_roys Looks very useful! Will allow us to optimise and target those with greater need whilst continuing to deliver Phase 2 Covid vaccinations
@KirstenTisdale@ad00c34cfcac481 @HelenRSalisbury Reality is that patient care takes longer now. Cleaning, donning/doffing PPE, complex care, sick patients who have shielded at home getting sicker for 12 months, etc. No funding for more doctor or nurses time though. Unfortunately the resources aren’t elastic
@helengrote @HelenRSalisbury Maybe speak to your CCG about getting GP surgery ‘bypass’ numbers for your switchboard? Ambulance service have these so they can speak with us for advice and to avoid admissions, etc.
@SimonBradley8 Recieving two vaccines at 21 day intervals wouldn’t achieve 100% protection from Covid-19 infection. So causality would be difficult to prove. (PS not a lawyer!)
Priorities for vaccination are based on 3 risks:
1) Of death or serious illness if infected
2) Of close exposure to multiple infection sources (people)
3) Of contact with multiple (vulnerable) people thus spreading disease
Teachers are in category 2 & should be prioritised
By the end of next week, all 19 of our general practice led PCN vaccine centres will be delivering the #CovidVaccine to their patients. This is an incredible achievement. Read more about the hard work all our practices have put in to date: https://t.co/LEMtbp3PDp
This announcement about the increased supply and expansion of the vaccination programme means all frontline health and social care workers will be included and vaccinated as a priority including those on the frontline in community pharmacy teams
3 weeks ago the lead was stripped from our roof @ConcordMedC the COVID-19 vaccination centre for the Stokes Primary Care Network now replaced with steel. Tonight, twice, on Christmas Eve, thieves have been chased off. #ClapForTheNHS
