@clare_eliza I gave mine to all nations church and they make baskets to give to women in hostels via the midwives/HV

@oisinliampower I want a good death. Doesn’t have to be what everyone perceives as good but good for that person.

[shoned jones @shoned]

Oh god, it’s going to be Gove isn’t it?!

[shoned jones @shoned]

@mark_tehan @clare_eliza @Annelise30 It’s bad isn’t it?! It feels wrong to step over someone on the floor where the risk of leaving them surely outweighs the risk of lifting them if the wait is likely to be lengthy

[shoned jones @shoned]

@sobrox Im not saying that it’s not #workingtogether. The reason we can’t get an ambulance is because there aren’t enough and they are triaged to the highest need but unless people realise the state of the NHS, they’re going to keep voting for the same clowns they’ve always done

[shoned jones @shoned]

@sobrox I appreciate the process around triage but this week in wales, my patients who needed to go to hospital and had no means of getting there were not able to get any form of emergency transport via the ambulance service. The public should know about that.

[shoned jones @shoned]

@sobrox Not blaming on anyone in the service-it’s the government that are to blame!

[shoned jones @shoned]

@clare_eliza @Annelise30 Worry not guys, Boris is going to save us all!

[shoned jones @shoned]

@clare_eliza @Annelise30 It’s all just mental isn’t it?! I think there needs to be some policy of picking these older people who fall in a care home up and “risking” it though to be honest. 12-24 hours on a floor waiting whilst people walk over them. It feels wrong

[shoned jones @shoned]

@Annelise30 @clare_eliza 999 are refusing even taking the information of the patient needing an ambulance 99% of the time. Now it’s “get in the car-something happens, stop and call 999” whilst I hope to myself they get there. None of this is ok

@aroradrn @KateBurkeNHS @RoshanaMN @OrthopodReg You should invest in a stash of tongue depressor-fab little stirrers!

@liambarker Also, succession, Sherwood and welcome to Wrexham!

[shoned jones @shoned]

@liambarker Blackbird may be the best thing I’ve watched this year. Not sure which of the channels it’s on though but it was amazing!

@EdanStarforth @krishnakolidoc @Parody_RCGP It’s just a waste of everyone’s time. I had someone in this week who had an app for surgery in 9 days and wanted me to write to make sure it happens as he hadn’t had it confirmed from the booking office 🤷🏻‍♀️

[shoned jones @shoned]

@EdanStarforth @krishnakolidoc @Parody_RCGP Should practices just come up with a blanket “no” to requests to see a GP for an expedite letter. Of course, appointment if they feel worsening symptoms or changes, but a statement of “we won’t do this” just for expedite with no change?

[shoned jones @shoned]

@JanetWilliams99 @theresecoffey @Emma4facs I don’t understand what the number of days I choose to work to maintain my mental health and avoid burn out has got to do with other people though? GP’s only get paid for the days worked so what’s that got to do with anyone?

[shoned jones @shoned]

@trace16 @DrNeenaJha Home visits. In my locality paramedics will see home visits but this is clearly considered inferior (by your tweet). Hard to know how to get the balance right.

[shoned jones @shoned]

@trace16 @DrNeenaJha I can see that this must be really frustrating. It’s really hard to get the balance right. It take approx 40 mins to go and see a patient at home. That’s 4 appointments in surgery. When being shouted at that pts are not being seen, it makes it hard to balance out how to deliver…

[shoned jones @shoned]

@Dave_Nash_ @BMA_JuniorDocs Have you watched “this is going to hurt” on the BBC? Would really recommend it to get some insight into what happens as a junior dr. Maybe then you’d appreciate that the job really does break people. Strong people that are great at their jobs.
