We know that the Tories underfunded all public services for 14 years, but using PAs, instead of qualified Doctors, is not the answer

Whistleblowers have claimed an investigation into a botched lumbar puncture at Newport's Royal Gwent hospital was marked as "closed" 2 months ago despite serious allegations against PA involved www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...

The number of GP practices in England fell from 7,686 in 2015 to 6,359 in 2025, while the number of homes rose by around 2m over the same period. As a result, the number of homes served per average GP practice rose from 3,066 in 2015 to 3,976 in 2025. www.gponline.com/one-gp-pract...

Wondering what to do with my £10 this year that Wes doesn’t want to give to Resident Doctors (It was theirs originally) But apparently the country can’t afford for us to give it back to them!

Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts. Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. Donations to Ministers pay dividends. £1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses Health service “taken for a ride”. Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity

Palantir now have access to all NHS emails of staff, no permission from staff needed. This will ramp up calls to end the £330m contract with Palantir and its Foundry asap www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The average Resident Dr remains £10,000/year worse off than their predecessors, it was more in 2022 In theory that’s £10/year that ‘we’ are all better off as a result But in reality it went on PPE & dodgy deals for MP’s mates Better spent on the people who actually save lives

How to tell if your appointment was cancelled due to a Doctors strike Answer you can’t On a average day in the NHS hospitals cancel 50,000 appts Strikes days affect 40,000 appts, apparently🤔 Blaming the Drs for a broken system is giving Management/Govt the excuse they want

What nobody sees In the old model - the one I trained in, the one they dismantled - these threads would have sat in the same building. The man’s script, the son’s behaviour, the wife’s exhaustion You’d have pulled the threads. I don’t have threads. I have encounters A must read

This is where medicine moves from a mere matter of measurement & data to an art There is nuance, understanding, empathy, knowledge, kindness, compassion, being inquisitive This cannot be replaced & needs to be saved #TeamGP

They woke up after the pandemic having asked nicely for pay rises to be told that the claps should have been enough The Govt didn’t listen so they went on strike The Tories finally gave them some & when Wes got in, he promised a ‘journey’ back to pay restoration But it stopped

Streeting Strikes! Operation or out-patient appointment cancelled? On an average working day (without strikes) 50,000 outpatient appointments are cancelled by hospitals 320 operations are also cancelled When the figures come out remember the above

I've emailed but not holding out much hope from my Labour MP. Seems to be a great advocate of the Sweeting principle of feed them 🐄 💩 and keep on screwing the NHS and people's private data.

Doctors & the public are being betrayed but this is much worse Failure on many levels, the once ‘Independent regulator of Doctors’ over the past few years this has changed No longer ‘independent’ nor just ‘Doctors’

A whole civilization (Persian Empire?) did not die tonight. Heather Cox Richardson writes: “If he had destroyed Iran in our names, unhampered by the Republican Congress members who have vowed to defend the U.S. Constitution, it would also have been an epitaph for the United States of America.”

Global super-rich may have hidden $3.55tn from tax officials. 0.1% of households have more wealth than the poorest half of the global population. Govts funded by the super rich, don't shut down tax havens and the tax abuse industry or levy wealth tax. HMRC goes easy on wealthy individuals.

Resident doctors were the stand out losers in the public sector on pay cuts before 2024 So it stands to reason that they would need to have higher pay awards to return to baseline pay levels Best not look at MP pay @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

GP Partners are receiving emails from Operose Inviting them to look at succession planning with Operose taking over their practices Plan: 1. Starve NHS GPs of £ 2. Continuous poor contracts 3. Appoint former CEO in DHSC 4. Use NHSE data base to contact partners 5. Takeover Is this the grand plan?

Unlike Streeting, most Doctors have dedicated their lives to serving the NHS. Often, working way longer than their contracted hours, serving communities for generations. To use their predecessors objections to the NHS is obscene from someone swimming in private healthcare donations.

Advice and Guidance won’t affect GP referrals 🤔 But what about the 25% deflected back (rejected) with advice? Who holds the clinical responsibility? Patients now waiting in the community? Are Consultants aware that they must process within 5 days? @gmcuk.bsky.social referrals coming

Dr James Le Fanu was happy with £7500 in his day! His day as a Junior Doctor 1974 - the following year Junior Doctors were in industrial action with Government £7500 would be £72k now if kept with CPI inflation - no wonder he was happy Maybe he should get back on his sofa
