🚨 NHS England director ADMITS there are NO jobs in the NHS for GPs completing training🚨
The government’s strategic plan to destroy primary care is working:
❌ >£660,000,000 funding to GP practices has been cut in the last 5 yrs
❌ The funding given (to help practices address the GP shortage) permits practices to employ almost ANY other role who are NOT a GP?!
All of this….yet RADIO SILENCE from the RCGP!
Neonatology jobs
Cardiology jobs
Jobs trained doctors would give anything for
Jobs requiring high levels of skill sets to keep the public safe
I repeat @NHSE_WTE have lost control & it’s now a Wild West
With no Sheriff
This is not fair on the public
@NHSEmployer
There’s A LOT happening right now in #teamGP and causing a lot of worry, frustration, concern and uncertainty for many GP trainees, newly qualified GPs and GPs
A couple of the most recent:
- #LocumGPs unemployment crisis !
- #PhysicianAssociates / #ARRS issues

@DrDomPimenta The exposure to the rare disease with vary - GPs will see fewer , more in DGH clinics , tertiary centre specialists many more. If we don’t know about them we can’t suspect the diagnosis and make a referral…
No no no. A UK medical degree is academically intense & rightly arduous. Compressing the 5 or 6 years it takes into 4 will not make better doctors. Which 20% of the body would you like to ignore, @RishiSunak? Already there is so much we could be covering in better depth 🤷♀️
Overnight sewage releases in Littlehampton, Bexhill, St Leonards, Herne Bay and, of course, Whitstable 💩
Bexhill is the worst hit, with around 6 hours of sewage, though that one seems to ongoing.
More rain is forecast today so be careful if you decide to swim 🏊♂️
@veallbagsetlist It was the same in Dublin, a constant background of chat from the crowd even When Bruce was talking. Really strange and annoying - why go!!!
The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press https://t.co/qY2ZwZS90q
@sussex_police please sort out traffic chaos on A2100 - temporary lights set so is green in both directions at the same time ! 40 minute queue south and A21 shut!
For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
@sewateruk Hi, I’m in TN33 9DD , no water since last night. Is this due to the Netherfield pumping station - I am outside the area marked on the map - or a burst main elsewhere? Thanks
