@doctor_katie @SkyNews @BBCBreaking @itn @c4news & our Prime Minister laughs when a man mocks GPs.

Disgraceful behaviour from a man who believes that having a parent GP allows him to trash primary care.

@doctor_katie @SkyNews @BBCBreaking @itn @c4news “A ‘constructive dismissal’ is exactly what general practice across England is witnessing… This is a national disgrace.”

We are not allowed to spend any of the £1.4bn from Government for staff on employing any new GPs or any new practice nurses.

Yes, we are now seeing 1000s of unemployed GPs. This is a national disgrace.

A word of caution here, folks:

👉1.9% = a disgrace
👉to match 2019/20 we need 8.7% putting this derisory offer into context
👉#FPR for salariedGPs ~ c£450m
👉Total practice income/patient has ⬆️ by only £15 in a decade -
Yes! *£15*

Nice words won’t save General Practice

@Jeremy_Hunt @andrealeadsom @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @hmtreasury @BMA_GP @PatientsAssoc @theRCN @CAM_Paddison @wesstreeting @PreetKGillMP @libdemdaisy England’s GPs see c1.39 million voters every day.

What do they think of access to NHS dentistry?

In 1990, there were only a handful of private dentists. Look at it now.

You could be about to witness the intentional predetermined ideological removal of NHS General Practice

@Jeremy_Hunt @andrealeadsom @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @hmtreasury @BMA_GP @PatientsAssoc @theRCN Read the amazing 🧵 from @CAM_Paddison on what needs to be done in the next Parliament @wesstreeting @PreetKGillMP @libdemdaisy

Throw out your ‘Fuller Stocktake’ & ‘Modern General Practice’ plan. It’s Tufton St inspired flawed ideology with no evidence base & patients hate it.

⏰ …I am still waiting for a response

⌛️Government has 4️⃣8️⃣ hours to improve on the 2024/25 contract

💥 Otherwise they will set off a chain of events which will be deeply regrettable…

Fascinating paper from @Karine_Gallopel and colleagues on the French alcohol industry's tactics in opposing pregancy information on alcohol labels. @FrontiersIn https://t.co/bJlbtnOuNG

[Sheila Gilheany @SheilaGilheany]

Similar tactics at play currently with global alc industry opposition to Irish regulations on health info labelling including pregnancy warning which have been notified to EU. Important that public health advocates demonstrate support for these measures.

Doctors who work part-time are facing unacceptable scorn, and double standards, in the media.

Today the BMA's network of elected women has written an open letter to the @Telegraph to set the record straight

[Nathalie Rodríguez McCullough @NatsTF]

@msteggy @BMA_GP @DrFJameel @rcgp @ClareGerada It would be helpful if this came from the @BMA_GP with guidance as to what is a safe limit of patient contacts, etc.
