A plan has been plotted with our excellent practice nurse.👩‍⚕️ Waist to height ratio will now be an integral part of our General Practice T2D #CVRM review. ✅ Obesity is an independent condition within the #CVRM syndrome that deserves independent attention. Let’s get to work. 💪

“Replacing the Carr-Hill formula with a needs-based formula is the best and most sustainable way to make general practice funding more equitable.” @becksfisher.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social @rcgp.bsky.social @drkatie.bsky.social @qmul.ac.uk

Our paper on the impact of living with multiple long-term conditions on everyday life: a qualitative evidence synthesis. The 'work' is not only around medications and healthcare use, it is also emotional & financial with lots of learning & adaptation bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

100% agree. This is entirely possible.

Presenting the latest Medscape Primary Care #Hack by @drkevinfernando.bsky.social and myself!🕺🏾💃 The use of incretin therapies for adults living with overweight & obesity We hope it helps & feedback welcome 😀 PDF medscape-uk.co/Hack-incretin Hack home page medscape-uk.co/Hacks

Hard agree! Primary Care CVRM review tries to stop Stage A and B heart failure in its tracks! We have to work smarter not harder 💪

Further sprinting towards intensive blood pressure lowering in TD2 👍🏻 Guess what the kidney outcomes look like… #BROAD RCT presented at #AHA24 and in NEJM 👇 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

We should do it much more! I actually like “BRAIN” even better. *Benefits *Risks *Alternatives? *Instinct (patient & doc) *Nothing (what if we do nothing) Lots more in here: #RealisticMedicine realisticmedicine.scot

Excellent insightful read - relationship based care and continuity of care informs the consult and in-turn the outcomes - I find them non negotiable components of successful management of LTCs in primary care. We need to protect them.

@TheLancet session at #AHA24 starting now! #obesity 🫀Malnutrition was a problem but now obesity is taking over worldwide with few exceptions 🫀Severe obesity has also ⤴️ 🫀BMI doesn’t reflect obesity as well as waist-to-height ratio 🫀⤴️ diabetes follows obesity

An absolute honour & career highlight to give The Ulster Medical Society SirThomas & Lady Dixon lecture. #CVRM thought process will be a cornerstone of General Practice Long Term Condition Mx,but primordial prevention is where the most strategical power lies to protect the nxt generation.
