An idea formed in 2016 and brought to reality in 2018 utilising @econsult_thinks to retain NHS workforce. “They would have completely lost a GP if I couldn’t do this. I’ve maintained my career in the NHS,”
Was a godsend during covid too!

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Doctors are allowed to practise around the world to keep them in the health service and bring down waiting times. Some patients even prefer it, said one expat

It was a pleasure to host Richard Meddings - the Chair of @NHSEngland - today.
We showed him digital triage at the @EDHomerton
Then the power of @econsult_thinks in general practice.
As well as some of the other innovations that have emerged from @HurleyGroup

Glad I rechecked my notes today. I wrote “FULL PEE” on my home visit note...#typo

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@iainoneil 1: Frontline user observation. 2: National standard for IO. Make NHS tech “modular” ie appointment book A with note recording C and online consultation E. Enables local configuration for what services want/need and enables innovation from anywhere

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@jamie_wallis More appropriate clinicians ie community pharmacy. There is always an education component for all of us to deliver. If a patient doesn’t understand, they ask. Google doesn’t quite reassure...I’d love to see medicine as a GCSE to bring back #grannymedicine

@amolrajan @murrayellender @BBCr4today Well played @amolrajan I thought you were brilliant! Mighty impressed you did it on an hours kip!

[Dr Murray Ellender @murrayellender]

General practice – we were never closed. https://t.co/sjGayGuES5 via @AbbieSBrooks

Brilliant piece - thank you!!
Take a few mins to pause and read.
And thanks @DrSimonHodes for passing it on.

"There isn’t a “one size fits all” model of access to general practice" - exactly 👏

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

A lot of sense in this. Remote clinical working, opening up estate and workforce. When we have widespread virtual desktops the hardware problem is solved also. #TeamGP If general practice fails, The NHS fails - The BMJ https://t.co/vXcWKtfBWB

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@methu_meddwl @prof_tweet I think there is a place for eHubs given we are working at scale now. This collaborative working has been driven by the pandemic. The relationships are now there to help build these. Training is key.

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@ldndoc Kids mainly. I see video like a stethoscope. You wouldn’t use a stethoscope for an eye problem. Its the right tool a specific jobs. Eyeballing kids and reassuring parents is mainly what I use it for but pretty rare.

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@EdTurnham @prof_tweet @MinalBakhai @HelenRSalisbury @padsbigsis @mgtmccartney @keithgrimes @MartinRCGP @murrayellender @fhussain73 @bcdelaney1 @BenXGowland @ClareGerada One of the key components for me is the impact of experience and training on these figures. "Experience" is not numbers seen, its the challenging of your previous assumptions on what can be dealt with remotely.

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@EdTurnham @prof_tweet @MinalBakhai @HelenRSalisbury @padsbigsis @mgtmccartney @keithgrimes @MartinRCGP @murrayellender @fhussain73 @bcdelaney1 @BenXGowland @ClareGerada I agree with all of this. I also found the modelling interesting when I used it. Firstly there were upper limits for "Digital consultations completed without needing a subsequent consultation" of 70%. In 2018 we were at 87%. https://t.co/eRzmG33yRN

[Ross Dyer-Smith @dyersmith]

@EdTurnham @prof_tweet @MinalBakhai @HelenRSalisbury @padsbigsis @mgtmccartney @keithgrimes @MartinRCGP @murrayellender @fhussain73 @bcdelaney1 @BenXGowland @ClareGerada With a bit of excel magic on the model to alter the limits based on this prepandemic data I get a 32% advantage! And this is without removing the 4 mins. Again, like @EdTurnham I am not claiming this is a solid figure just again highlighting the background evidence.
