Alcohol is all around us. It’s promoted as we watch our favourite sports, advertised as we travel to work, and placed in our favourite films. It’s time for alcohol to take less of a leading role. Find out about support services in Surrey: https://t.co/vKuZCGdxbU

Exclusive: The Government has incinerated or written off £1.4 BILLION worth of Covid PPE, provided by one supplier in the summer of 2020 - it is the single most wasteful public contract of the whole pandemic. Thread 1/

Funding for GP practices has flatlined in the past 8yrs ignoring population increase & the complexity of patient care

NHS England has manipulated the provision of care by making funding available for other staff but not GPs

I have added🟢as ignored by @HealthFdn @thetimes

Without GPs in Primary Care there is no long term care and no continuity of care for patients
1 in 4 younger GPs are leaving the profession
There is not an issue with people wanting to be GPs there is a huge problem with retention
NHS England are failing patients

Symptoms of bowel cancer can include blood in your poo and tummy pain or bloating.

Other health problems can cause similar symptoms – but it’s important to get them checked by a GP if you have any symptoms for 3 weeks or more.

NEW: WORRYING data from the just released NHS staff survey

Only 32% of medical & dental staff satisfied with their pay, down 23% from 2020 & greatest drop by *far* of all groups.

RT if you believe it’s because government deliberately eroded doctors pay the most #PayRestoration
