@bookingcom Our accommodation has been double booked and the best you can do is suggest waiting 48h to see if the owner changes their mind…..am struggling to see how your customer service model works in the real world. Please tell me how to speak to a human that can help???

The @DHSCmedia press release states “if online appts for hairdressers, why not GPs?”

It’s the equivalent of turning up at 6.29pm, demanding a same-day haircut, GETTING ONE, & being entitled to an infinite number of haircuts all year. Barbers would say no!

Doesn’t work does it?

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

“These changes risk taking GPs away from appointments and creating GP waiting lists… and to solve this wouldn’t cost a penny.”

@doctor_katie on @BBCBreakfast this morning explaining why GPs are 48 hours from entering dispute with Government.

Our new report makes the case for general practice loudly and clearly.

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

Salaried GPs make up more than half of the family doctors working in practices in England and a 4% uplift won't come close to addressing their pay erosion in the past 15 years or more. (1/2)

@DrMartynHewett @gingersnaps_1 @HelenStokesLam @mgtmccartney @LouiseYounie @drjessicawatson 🙏 So many inspirational people out there - @doctor_katie @DrSdeG @dr_zo @rachali79 @DrKate_King to name but a few…but many more I could mention

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

GPC England has spoken: the current 24-25 contract offer is woefully inadequate and puts patients and staffing levels at risk.

Watch the video update from @doctor_katie on our next steps, and why GPs should join the BMA to ensure you have your say.

@IsleOfWightFest Blatant discrimination, not to mention potentially putting single parent families with young children at risk if they are in general camping - please review #itsnot1950anymore

[Dianne W @Doctor_NextDoor]

@IsleOfWightFest Any reason why single parent families can’t camp in the family area?

@paulcarterTV @CatrinNye Similar experience, different company…toxic industry?

[Kate Digby @drkatedigby]

@CatrinNye @BBCiPlayer Totally resonates, I have had similar experience. Shocking industry.

Q: What are Hot Topics Clinics ❔
A: FREE webinars - conditions we see & problems we face in #primarycare which rarely appear in the literature. We've also recorded webinars around #Covid19 & in conjunction with @CRUKHCPs. https://t.co/A6wZi3natD #hottopics #primarycare #CRUK

[Kate Digby @drkatedigby]

@altontowers Disappointing start to the day, front of the queue only to be told rides are not opening…no fast passes to compensate offered to hotel guests. Please make us feel more loved?

[Kate Digby @drkatedigby]

Well this looks like a lot of fun?!
