Views are my own

@Parody_RCGP It's an absolute fucking joke that the GP practice gets criticised for A&E's inability to record an accurate set of observations

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@DHSCgovuk Sounds more like blackmail than an offer - tackling bottlenecks and reducing ratios should be the absolute basics of your job

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@DHSCgovuk @YouGov Good job public opinion doesn't have a bearing on it at all then isn't it. Might want to focus more on patient care by delivering sufficient staffing rather than opinion polls

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@wesstreeting Considering wilfully holding back the training of more doctors whilst scapegoating them for the consequences of underfunding GP practice flu jab rollouts is pretty awful behaviour. You're far more complicit in the detriment to patients than resident doctors are

[Animesh Singh @DrAnimeshSingh]

We have GPs unemployed & driving Ubers

We have 100s of resident doctors wanting to be GPs but unable to enter GP training

We have a GP contract that has underinvested in general practice for years.

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@DHSCgovuk @SKinnock Pathetic and ineffective. Maybe instead increase global sums for practices so more GPs can be recruited. There's jobless GPs waiting for opportunities

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

‘Moaning Minnies, Laggards, Refuseniks, Stuck in 20th Century, Luddites’ - just a few words Wes has used in media interviews about GPs

GPs who haven’t been on strike, provided 39m appts last month, of which 15m were with GPs & 8m online forms

Yet he still won’t listen to GPs🤷🏻‍♂️

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@rcgp @ShabanaMahmood You probably ought to focus on barriers to employment for all GPs - If I was to look to return to UK practice at some point there's an absolute paucity of jobs in general

[LBC @LBC]

'Wes Streeting still doesn't understand why resident doctors are on strike'

@JucheCouture @ItsnotrightUK And GPs by the look of it 😡

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@Parody_RCGP @InvCoriolis But also better work/life balance, wage, taxes and scenery 👀

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@Parody_RCGP @InvCoriolis 0 indigenous snakes or deadly spiders here!

No koalas either mind, but plenty of kiwis, dolphins and seals. Not as cuddly granted, but also less chlamydia

@PhilSmithIsBack @RCPhysicians Worked with her, can confirm that was the attempted vibe

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@medicalmodelbri @RCPhysicians @HilaryWMedic @Mumtaz_Patel_1 @parthaskar This was the place I did my first 2 FY1 jobs in 2014, and that Chris guy had taken it upon himself to run the Drs mess

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

This is why Resident doctors in England are taking a stand against the Government - it’s time to pay us what we're worth.
Support us on the picket lines 📢 25 to 30 July

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Now we know why Rishi Sunak refuses to negotiate with NHS staff.

He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure.

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@Keir_Starmer Smoke and mirrors - absolute nonsense. Temporary, underpaid ARRS roles used to fudge your numbers. GPs are unemployed because you refuse to fund Primary Care properly

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

‘This year there will be qualified doctors without a job.’

‘We’re seeing GPs driving Uber now.’

This is not made up news it’s the facts @wesstreeting

And needs resources & a workforce plan

[Jon Sanders @Jon__Sanders]

@Aztecross Take a steroid nasal spray that you might use 1-2 sprays of at a time - put 4-6 sprays in a nasal rinse bottle that you've made up as you normally would. Eliminates user error of nasal sprays, increases the likelihood of coating the nasal mucosa (always seek advice from your Dr)
