We should 🤔 about this more

One thing I am not going to spend my clinic time on in the next few months is writing letters for gyms, embassies, employers, travel companies, schools, universities....and anywhere else to say "my patient is free of #coronavirus"
DO NOT TELL PEOPLE TO GET A NOTE FROM THEIR GP
Retired GP Dr Hugh Bethell makes the case for exercise ... "It is never easy to get people to change behaviour, but it is possible."

It's all well and good blaming Dominic Cummings but don't forget that despite his egregious behaviour, if YOU are having a five a side in the park, or a big party with all your mates, then YOU are also the problem.
In the last week we had started making tentative plans for resumption of cancer work. Seeing the number of people out today, I’m guessing that might have to be put back on the shelf to deal with the next wave of cases coming in 7-10 days. Happy bloody bank holiday.
Very clear changes in a/e and ambulance land yesterday, nearly all my jobs were alcohol related from "celebrations" everyone's dragged their nan and grandad out (literally) for big party's and started acting like fuckwits again🤷♂️did I miss covid ending? #weareallfucked#COVID19
@DHSCgovuk We’ve had lots of queries from patients who are keyworkers and need their child who is unwell tested but online booking then doesn’t work for under 18s which seems very unhelpful??
@caneden@ThornsAndrew@jupiterhouse1@UpaasnaG We have one on emis we set up based on same thing as community trust /ekhuft I can try and email you an example but let me know if it helps I can get someone clever to find “template”!

A short survey for a master's dissertation on professional"s experience of video consultation in primary care...I bet I know some people who could help fill it out. https://t.co/cTcBGIKzyx
@NikkiKF@drmarkporter@NHSEngland I know everyone is under pressure but there is simply no point making the deadline so tight....all it means is most won’t be able to do the job thoroughly/accurately especially in addition to actual patient care (that is becoming ever more complex).
@andrewleedr I really hope we can adjust how we work in primary care after all this...longer appointments and much more prevention and lifestyle medicine...how to ensure this happens is hard any advice appreciated?
