Someone who just wants to help make things better.

@PrimaryCareNHS How about spending money on actually recruiting NHS Dentists rather than improving those that aren't actually there. In Weymouth, a town of 70,000 we have 0 NHS Dentists.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@DHSCgovuk Nothing to do with Trusts being paid for each patient they remove from their lists & using badly worded comms with 7 day deadlines to achieve it then?

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

When can we start talking? @UKLabour & NHS idealists are continuing to block a Health system that could work for everyone. Staff but most importantly Patients.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it.
The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed.
Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform.
The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa).
But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded.
But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on.
Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

@NHSDorset @SouthCoastMedi2 When are you going to get Dorset Healthcare (& the other well funded trusts) to add their waiting lists & all our referrals they they are pretending they haven't yet read onto the App?
You own the contracts.
How about putting patients first.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@benmcbean Every 20 years or so these types feel confident enough to come out of their holes when they think, wrongly, the rest of the Nation shares their views.
They don't normally stay above ground for long & won't this time either.

[Dr Haseena Wazir @DrHWazir]

Imagine qualifying as a doctor in the UK, only to be told there is no NHS training job for you in your home country.

That is the reality facing thousands of UK medical graduates.

The taxpayer invests in medical education. Medical graduates complete a five to six year demanding medical degree, graduate with debts often exceeding £100,000, and commit themselves to serving patients in the NHS.

Yet in 2025, more than 40,000 applicants applied for just 10,000 specialty training jobs. Some doctors end up unemployed because they cannot find jobs as fully qualified doctors.

These training posts are not optional extras. They are the route to becoming the specialist Consultants and GPs our NHS depends on.

Without them, doctors cannot progress in their careers and patients ultimately lose future specialists. Yet UK medical graduates are not being prioritised for these NHS training jobs.

Prioritising UK medical graduates for speciality training jobs is coherent workforce planning. At the same time, there must be safeguards for international doctors with significant NHS experience who are already contributing to patient care.

Right now, the system satisfies no one. It creates unemployment, fuels insecurity, and weakens the future medical workforce.

That is not sustainable and it must change.

@LDelapx @markyt204 @ChelseaFC The facts would disagree.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

Alternatively @NigelKellow they deliver far better outcomes than ours, they react to patient rather than provider needs. They allow the best digital support.
Having used many, many systems around the World almost any one is better than the one we have for patients & clinicians.

[Dr Nigel Kellow @NigelKellow]

The Future of Healthcare - 1:
If you were to design a health system from scratch today, you would not design what we have now. The health systems of every advanced economy in the world have been top-down politically driven, and are based on legacy models of funding and care that are reactive, episodic and transactional. They are always too late and too expensive, where hospital systems are cathedrals of disease - whose revenue models depend on the complete absence of prediction and prevention.

[Dylan Difford @Dylan_Difford]

Anyone telling you there's anything normal about these local elections is talking out their arse. Below, gains and losses as a proportion of total contests in every set of locals in the last 50 years - provisional numbers, based on 62% of seats declared.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

100% this.
When is racism OK to the left? When Jews are the target.

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

It is remarkable how readily the radical end of Britain's pro-Palestinian movement has adopted the antisemitic language of America's ZOG-obsessed far right; and yet there is silence about this on the wider left. If neo-Nazis held that banner there would be outrage.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@BristOliver I love it when politicians & commentators completely miss the message that people are sending. The BBC is also just parroting the Labour Lefts line.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@markyt204 I've just caught a few clips of her on the programme & truly cannot understand why the BBC have her on? Not being capable of saying "Hamas should release the hostages" should bar anyone from our licence fee funded programmes.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@markyt204 @Morrisons The deep filled ones are wonderful. We've done a lot of blind testing (as my waist shows) & they always come out on top.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@DrShanHussain @ankitkant @lizzie_toberty @wesstreeting @Radio4 @BMA_GP @TheDA_UK The BMA GP Committee are the BMA, albeit a sub group.
They are sabre rattling, issuing threats whereas full engagement without threats will achieve the results we all hope for Primary Care.
The BMA(GP or otherwise) are a union & do not 'deserve' respect. They need to earn it.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@DrShanHussain @ankitkant @lizzie_toberty @wesstreeting @Radio4 @BMA_GP @TheDA_UK I asked why they deserve more respect based on the reading of your tweet.
But you'd rather obfuscate about this wording rather than the central issue of @wesstreeting being correct to call the BMA out for sabre rattling.
Many thought Scargill was a decent man.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@ShabaNabi @wesstreeting @BMA_GP @doctor_katie @AvonLMC I didn't call you that, I don't know you or your role.
You call yourself an agitator, I used the term about a number of BMA reps I've listened to recently.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@DrShanHussain @ankitkant @lizzie_toberty @wesstreeting @Radio4 @BMA_GP @TheDA_UK I read that from your tweet. Nobody calls Government criticism of Aslef, Unison etc al sabre-rattling disgraceful because they are 'decent people'. Why should the, now militant BMA, be treated any differently?

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@DrShanHussain @ankitkant @lizzie_toberty @wesstreeting @Radio4 @BMA_GP @TheDA_UK The BMAs behaviour for years has been disgraceful. They've fooled the public into thinking they are more than just a Union, now a militant one. They are a huge part of the NHSs problems (see GP training decision) and now they are sabre ratting again.
They 'deserve' no respect.

[Chris Emblen @Ceekaye]

@ShabaNabi @wesstreeting @BMA_GP @doctor_katie @AvonLMC I do. I worked with 80+ GP practices for a number of years supporting them for my local CCG.
Oh & I helped pay them.
Almost every GP I worked with were amazing while being led down the garden path by agitating activists from the BMA.
