Fantastic weekend at #FullyChargedLIVESouth - thank you to the whole team for an entertaining and educational event. My son loved it, especially meeting @JackScarlett17@ElliotChina Ricky Roy and @bobbyllew in the hotel! Cannot wait until 2024 Everything Electric Show!
@FullyChargedShw looking forward to coming to South show this weekend. Are test drives prebooked each day as coming on Sunday and don’t want to miss out if they are booked ahead earlier in the weekend!
@FullyChargedShw cannot wait to join you this weekend! Are test drives allocated per day as we cannot join you until Sunday and don't want to miss out if they are prebooked earlier in the weekend!
@joejpick @rachali79 @nelson_kamali@Leedsviv I have a large number of secondary care and primary care clinicians as patients. I worry about workload pressures and systems impacting their physical and mental health as both colleagues and patients….then impacting my non medical patients too!
@joejpick @rachali79 @nelson_kamali@Leedsviv I apologies if it came across that way and thanks for highlighting this view. We are all very busy. The systems are not helping us work efficiently and effectively for the patients. Workload shift doesn’t help patients or staff alike. We make noise to try and fix systems.
@Leedsviv @rachali79 @joejpick @nelson_kamali I agree though neither the patient nor we have put primary care in this position. If we are overwhelmed by workload shift from primary care where does that leave the patients then? Medicolegal responsibility lies with hospital team requesting test. It is their job to treat here.
Do General Practice because a part of you likes General Practice, community care, and all it entails.
Not because you think the grass is greener.
Because right now,
it stinks,
and who knows when (if) the fertiliser will kick in...

Junior doctors, specialists, and medical students in the NHS
If you are planning on doing GP JUST for the perceived lifestyle benefits rather than a want for doing GP then you will either:
😠 hate it
😵💫 be crap at it
😫 burn out
🛫 change/leave after realising your error

I encourage all GPs to read/ discuss/ debate this article with their colleagues. We must consider all options in our toxic working environment @Commodore_Bob @Devon_LMC @drmattbest https://t.co/LbVaNyhGpy
@SaliWho@GeeKidd101@emmamcneil@amateuradam We GPs are happy with it though there are plenty of restrictions as dipstick testing is not reliable in certain age groups to confirm or refute infection. Pharmacists can and do help in those patients whom they can use this sort of test to confirm likelihood of a UTI.
There is a NHS workforce crisis. What bothers me most about the 2 week appointment target is the negative effect it will have on staff that we’re already on the brink of leaving. This strategy demonstrates a very poor grasp of the issues. @Commodore_Bob @Devon_LMC @drmattbest
Devastating post on TGG today about a GP who has died by suicide 😢
Consent from Gail’s husband for these screenshots to be shared. The pressure NHS GPs are under is immense. It needs urgent action.
What’s the plan @BMA_GP@rcgp@NHSEngland? 👀
How are all those long serving GP partners feeling today ? Happy , appreciated, wanting to go the extra mile , looking forward to the future ? When this think tank plan goes tits up as it will , don’t blame us 🙏Anyone for New Zealand ?
@jamie_wallis My wife bought me a German bag for my birthday a few years ago and it is very good and well made. Highly recommended: https://t.co/NoodE6PAKR. You can get it in the UK. Isn’t a bag that you loose everything at the bottom of; good design and layout! Big decision; good luck!
