Over 30 other organisations have co-signed our letter calling on the government to retain the GMC’s ability to investigate #doctors with health concerns, under a distinct 'health' route. We are proud to stand together on this important issue www.medicalprotection.org/uk/articles/...

I also can’t plug this enough- DAUK is like another job at times that we do for free because we love it and are total geeks at heart(I speak for myself here) We do need money to function so if you can donate the price of a cuppa to support our work it will go a long way🙏

@thedauk.bsky.social is running a series of webinars - first up: Managing the emotional aftermath of medical adverse incidents www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/managing-t...

GP partnership model has been a cornerstone of English primary care since the NHS’s inception. Partners operate independent businesses that are contracted through NHS England, enabling tailored local services and continuity of care, though often through partners’ goodwill and unpaid overtime.

💻 | Join us on Tuesday 10 June (7.30pm to 8.30pm) for the first in a series of FREE webinars for members. @clairedocdavies.bsky.social will be talking about managing the emotional aftermath of adverse medical incidents. Book your place now www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/managing-t...

🩺 | How will the climate crisis impact primary care? It faces increasing pressures through shifting disease trends and extreme weather events. Health promotion and disease prevention are key to cutting healthcare's environmental impact and improving health. 🔗 ourhealthourplanet.co.uk/hcp-doctor-gp/

🌍 | The climate crisis is a health crisis. Extreme weather events are already leading to thousands of deaths. The Our Health, Our Planet website looks at the threat of climate change to health, how it will impact the NHS and steps people can take to minimise it. 🔗 ourhealthourplanet.co.uk

It's the end of Week 2 of the UK Covid Inquiry Module 7. The inquiry has examined the testing, tracing, and isolation strategies in the UK and the devolved nations from January 2020 to June 2022. We learnt: 🧵 (1/9)

📣 The Value of a GP We've made it very clear: general practice is vital to a healthy NHS. This new BMA report lays out the evidence – economic, clinical, and human – that shows why GPs are essential. Continuity of care is the remedy. Read here 👉 cdn.intelligencebank.com/eu/share/qMb...

Up to 1,000 GP registrars face unemployment this summer Last summer @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social announced emergency measures to employ GPs in ARRS with a view to fixing this issue There is no extra funding for employing GPs Yet 4000/yr are being trained www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/breakin...

The job of a doctor is not, necessarily, to be kind or popular or fluffy or liked. It is to do and to say the right thing for your patients. However difficult it may be to do so. However tough you may find it. Many institutions pretend otherwise, including the GMC. Here's why they're wrong 🧵

A fantastic talk yday that I was so happy to attend & I'm glad Rachel has detailed it here for others. Telling staff to "be kind" in this context feels like a manipulative tactic designed to gloss over the difficulties of working in today's NHS - code for keeping quiet over the things that matter.

I also can’t plug this enough- DAUK is like another job at times that we do for free because we love it and are total geeks at heart(I speak for myself here) We do need money to function so if you can donate the price of a cuppa to support our work it will go a long way🙏

We live in a world where the United Nations has to persuade world leaders to do something via social media Just think about that…. The United Nations!

And before people say the UK spends too much Look at the reality of spending compared to peer nations Lower Tax Lower Spend on health Lower life expectancy Worst waiting times All connected

#BeKind performative kindness It is better not to show a hollow act of ‘kindness’ when there is no reality in everyday practice #NHS & @gmcuk ‘Duty to be kind’ Duty is to do & say the right thing which may not be ‘kind’ Eg. sharing bad news in terminal illness @doctoroxford.com
