Lovely news. Thanks to all @PanomaPress

[Panoma Press - Business & Self-Help Book Publisher @PanomaPress]

If you love @amateuradam you'll love @davidjm59 "The Doctor Can't See you Now" a light hearted look at life as an #nhs #gp No.1 in hot new releases for medical biographies on Amazon! https://t.co/HJiqsbdFip #healthcare

Labour also want to scrap these regulations

[East Herts Green Party @EastHertsGreen]

Chalk streams are irreplaceable, but the Government's National Planning Policy Framework doesn't recognise this.

Please support @WildlifeTrusts in the campaign to get chalk streams better protected.

@DeanEggitt How we loved geriatric liaison officers on the wards in 1980s!

[David Maddams @davidjm59]

@BBCNews Sounds like the teaching has changed. We were always told that elderly patients could bleed heavily into a hip fracture and go into shock. Delays also lead to increased complications generally. I do not think they are given high enough priority.

Not been on X for ages, call it fatigue-hospital visiting at weekend and noticed everyone gets a salt sachet! I’m told the NHS provides 200M meals a year and I can’t think of any medical reason to have it but plenty not to- am I missing something? ⁦⁦@wesstreeting⁩

@Tanni_GT Makes my blood boil Tanni! If you can be fined hundreds of thousands of pounds for inadvertently leaking data why can’t companies like LNER be fined heavily for letting down their disabled passengers by a disability commissioner with some clout ?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Finally.

Now let’s get the NHS back to where it belongs.

[Royal College of General Practitioners @rcgp]

As everyone heads to the polling booths, we're calling on all political parties to support & strengthen general practice so our patients receive the care they need & deserve, now & in the future.

2,000 years ago the Romans sailed all the way up the River Ver to what is now St Albans.

Today a disaster area, over abstracted for its precious waters by @AffinityWater and filled with sh*t by @thameswater

That is how we treat a chalk stream. 1 of only 225 in the entire world

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

✅ A new NHS contract
✅ Proper investment and funding

Only the Green Party has a plan to fix NHS dentistry.

Lake Windermere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site don't you know and this is what we bloody well do to it. 🤬🤬

[Alex Maddams @alex_maddams]

Together we’re so much stronger. Solidarity shouldn’t be transactional but working together is also the logical thing to do.

As one hospital community we should work in the interests of all the workers and patients.

And what a wonderful community we have at Homerton too!

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Please read this tweet and thread from a GP about how the Tories have ring fenced money which can't be spent on more GPs

It's insane and dangerous 😡 ⏬️
I had no idea. Did you?

I might cover this on my @LBC show tomorrow

@DrLucyHenshall @NHSEngland @NHSPracHealth @VictoriaAtkins @wesstreeting @doctor_oxford @mancunianmedic @djnicholl @AmandipSidhu01 @TheDA_UK @TheBMA @DoctorsDistress They’re still not getting it then? How demoralising for everyone - no wonder retention is such an issue. Such a bad decision with no consideration for the consequences 😢

Think many GPs will not recognise @JimBethell's claim: "GPs don't face huge amounts of complexity. Most interactions are incredibly straightforward."

@AbbieSBrooks At least we got to the top of local police priority list!

@DrLucyHenshall Good ploy Lucy- I would always go for a colourful tie at work to lift the mood on drab days- On a NLP course years ago we were encouraged to increase the positivity by wrapping ourselves in a colour- I chose orange so good choice methinks!
