Health inequalities are worsening year on year. If we don’t persuade the government to invest in the community, this 2 tier healthcare will happen.
It’s not just morally wrong.
It will catastrophically harm our economy & damage our whole society.

[Clare Gerada @ClareGerada]

NAO report number of fully qualified GPs will rise by only 4% between 2021 and 2036 compared to a 49% rise in the number of consultants. #nhs will fall over if we don’t increase number of GPs as our patients need generalists given the changes in health care needs.

[Rowena Christmas @ChristmasRowena]

Practices across the UK are feeling overwhelmed by unsustainable workload and many GPs are crushed by the moral distress of trying to meet demand.
Investment in the community will improve the nation’s health & reduce pressure on secondary care.

@mancunianmedic @Maherjane @AshlingLillis @RichardLehman1 @JohnLauner This is one of the papers I use most often for teaching palliative care. The active treatment versus palliative divide is false IMO. Massive issue and I would like to have more time with patients to address https://t.co/LrTn72THPM

[Will Mackintosh @will_mackintosh]

@DavidAHaslam @healthyopinion @RishiSunak Totally agree. It’s another example of the subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) discrimination against GPs which is hiding in plain sight.

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

Both Conservatives and Labour put high priority on economic growth. I would rather see growth and reduction in inequalities in the height of five-year-old children. That way we will know that we have an economy that is really delivering for the health and wellbeing of all.

@dbatherwoods Just ordered… loved the existentialist cafe! Thanks for the tip.

When the tech is good enough it’s often not sufficient to transform healthcare services alone.

Successful change means looking beyond the tech.

New report out from us at @HealthFdn comparing experiences of GPs in high-income 10 countries.
How does the UK stack up?

It's sobering news...

(1/15)

[Martin Marshall @MartinNMarshall]

Yes, good access to GPs is important
Yes, access is poor at present and needs to improve
But poor access is a symptom, not the cause of the crisis in general practice
If government plans don’t address the root causes, they will just cause further damage

[Jake Beech @jaketreenotsea]

It’s not all bad news from our analysis of GP experiences in 10-high income countries.

UK GPs + teams are under pressure but there’s lots to be proud of in UK general practice.

Let’s unpack 🧵 (1/10)

Just catching up on the parallel sessions from #GP5T5 yesterday that clashed with the ones I was in. Loved Susan Hadley talking about QIA/QIP (managing to make this old cynic feel quite motivated/excited 🤩). Now @will_mackintosh brilliant on using @RCGP_InnovAiT as a trainer.
