This is why I like Twitter: such a wonderfully helpful and practice-changing thread! I don’t think my ReSPECT forms were 3am proof. But there’s so many ideas in here to help improve them.

ReSPECT forms: can UK #MedTwitter share their slickest phrases to indicate “not for admission to hospital except for discrete problem such as an injury such as a #hip that cannot be managed at home” and suchlike?

Great that boosters are going to be given to all over 18’s and 12-15 year olds will get a second dose of vaccine. But please don’t follow the advice from @BBCTheOneShow or @BBCNews to phone your GP about it. You will be contacted when your jab is available for you! #GetBoosted

We don’t blame soldiers for the mess in Afghanistan - don’t blame GPs and their staff for the mess in primary care. @JasonManford nails it here - get political! https://t.co/BchY0hKVww

The narrative that GPs are refusing to see patients face-to-face is dangerous and inaccurate and it has to stop.

We call on the health secretary to speak up openly and unequivocally in support of general practice, and have written to him outlining three specific action points.

A broken overwhelmed system, with understandable bubbling public discontent, very deliberately stirred up by anti-GP media rhetoric, now frighteningly turning violent. This thread explains the current situation really well. 👇🏼

If there’s a lot of negativity on your timeline, give yourself 50 seconds to watch this little boy take on the #TourofBritain2021 peloton, riding on the pavement and the gesture at the end. Brilliant! 🙌

UK has the HIGHEST no. of new Covid cases in the world

Pregnant women:

- you have a higher chance of severe disease
&
- your baby’s at a higher risk of premature birth

To date:

**NO pregnant women who’ve had BOTH vaccines have been admitted w/ Covid**

🙏get the vaccine ASAP

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

The recent spate of attacks on GPs has been disgusting, demoralising & opens us up to increasing abuse.

It’s also detrimental to public health. Responsible reporting is a patient safety issue.

Please support us & add your signature if you agree 🙏

@awoodall19 So very sorry to hear this. You are not weak. As others have said, the system is broken. You are human and there is no shame in that. I hope you can take a break and get some support.

Wearing a mask isn’t a political choice: it’s just a kind, decent, fairly easy thing to do. Anyone wearing a mask isn’t protecting themselves as much as protecting those around them. It’s the opposite of personal responsibility: it’s care for others. This is worth a read👇
