The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it.

Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention….

1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done.

2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable.

3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care

4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

What if your ‘physician’ wasn’t actually a doctor at all? Beware this new reckless experiment | Doctors | The Guardian https://t.co/LABrG8QTcQ

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Tell me @RishiSunak how you can possibly look NHS patients in the eye when we now have unemployed GPs forced to drive Ubers because you’re erasing new GP posts from general practice?

Are you aware of this debacle, @wesstreeting?

Will you stop it?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

FINALLY the @rcgp has called for a halt on any further recruitment of PAs as doctor substitutes in general practice.

Heartfelt thanks to all frontline & senior staff who’ve fought for standards in medicine & patient safety.

Shame on the leaders who haven’t.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

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.

Please share with those who might be interested. I am a parent advisor in a paediatric palliative care clinical network team. We are holding a webinar about pain in children. June 18th, 1-2:30pm. Parents will share, including me sharing about Neve's experiences of pain.

I've spent the last few years working with hundreds of schools, enough to spot some patterns and (I hope) to write some useful threads over the coming months.

Here's the first one...

In my opinion, what do primary schools commonly get wrong with their reading lessons? 🪡

It is with deep sadness that the club can confirm that former player Rob Burrow CBE has passed away, aged 41.

'Social psychologist @JonHaidt believes the mental health crisis has been driven by the mass adoption of smartphones, the advent of social media and addictive online gaming. He calls it “the Great Rewiring of Childhood”': this is fascinating and important: https://t.co/NZHoWwGlnG

@SmallSchool_KS2 Another vote for Scarpa - we all have Scarpa Terras. They do not need wearing in and are super comfy. Never had a blister. Husband walks every day in his and loves them. This is our second round of Scarpa and will probably buy them again when they wear out.

I decided to take some biscuits into school tomorrow, but thought I'd better check with @educationgovuk that I wasn't contravening regulations.

I checked - has anyone else had a chance to read this yet? Might be worth bringing to the attention of your SLT asap.

@Mrs_G26 @jonnybid Yes. Sometimes I feel as if people can’t understand why I would want to stay in the classroom. But the classroom is the BEST BIT of the job. It’s why I became a teacher. I’ve been teaching for 27years. But in the RIGHT school no one looks down on anyone else.
