This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I need everyone, esp anyone working in education or tech (but really everyone) to WATCH THIS CLIP of @drtanksley.bsky.social discussing the technologies infiltrating our schools & psyches and how she is addressing it with our young people. youtu.be/5mtcSL4S3HQ

To clarify, the “someone else” was NIHR’s own writing team who worked collaboratively with us!

One of my friends has a grant from the #FDA to look at disparities in clinical trial research and just submitted a manuscript with the findings. She was told today by the collaborators from the #FDA to rescind it. #Censorhip has started, we are living in authoritarian government.

I think the general public were more alarmed by the Hollywood writers’ strike than the current NIH shut-down We gotta work on that 🧬🔬🧪🥼🧫

In this article, @uoftmedicine’s Sheryl Spithoff et al propose a typology for models of virtual primary care in Canada. They recommend that stakeholders advocate for expansion of regulated primary care provider (PCP) and non-profit models. www.cfp.ca/content/70/1...

A pioneering study led by NHS Research Scotland's Primary Care Network Champion has found that certain combinations of long-term health conditions are associated with worse quality of life — but can benefit from tailored treatments and interventions. 🔗 www.nhsresearchscotland.org.uk/news/nhs-res...

And AI in primary care needs to be constantly tested and reviewed by a panel of experienced primary care practitioners. Forever.

A study found that 12% of primary care visits in Norway were for mental health conditions, matching rates for infections and cardiovascular issues. This highlights the need for improved physician training, integrated care, and… #MentalHealth #PrimaryCare #Healthcare #Norway #MedicalTraining

I still remember the news that day. I was 16. And I was horrified that women would be targeted to die because they were women who dared to learn. Remember their names:

New paper alert! @annfammed.bsky.social Want to decrease emerg visits? Provide primary care infrastructure supports so that patients can see a “within-group” provider (instead of a walk in clinic) after hours. Decreasing fragmentation of care works! www.annfammed.org/content/22/6...

Tomorrow is my last day as dean Queen's Health Sciences & CEO SEAMO. As a parting gift, I'm donating honoraria I've received this year & using the seed funds to launch the Jane Philpott Primary Care Fund to support research & innovation in primary health care. healthsci.queensu.ca/stories/feat...

Stumbled across this fab animation about the value of family medicine (general practice) - and primary care research in particular - for health systems (and society in general!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLuy...

New study finds that "primary care clinics that predominantly serve low-income and socially disadvantaged communities" are seeing severe impacts of climate change on care. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In a survey of US primary care clinics, many indicated that extreme heat (63%) and power outages (45%) had harmed patients’ health. Most clinics had experienced extreme weather events that caused disruptions in care in the past 3 years #MedSky #Climate bmcprimcare.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

If the AB government read research we wouldn't be where we are, but just in case they decide to start, here's a great study on the value of primary care teams! TLDR; more access to family docs vs walk-ins = less use of ER.

A great article and one worth reading. It touches on points made by many. Access. Without it nothing else matters. Primary Care Reform - not duplicating the current, failing system but building on it and providing teams for all. What's so hard about this government?

Why do GPs choose to work 'at the Deep End'? Research shows it can be clinically stimulating and rewarding, as well as challenging. 🎬 Watch the 1-min video: youtu.be/dEjFnRLqmzU 🎧 Podcast: www.bjgplife.com/190 📖 Read the research: doi.org/10.3399/BJGP... #DeepEndGP #HealthInequalities #PrimaryCare

Looking forward to connecting with colleagues & meeting new ones at the NAPCRG conference in Quebec. Currently on the road from Nova Scotia with DH & happy dog. If you need conference puppy snuggles, we have you covered. I’ll be speaking at the pre conference student event and presenting a paper!

WOW. This is a must-watch. Here’s CBC Power & Politics host @davidwcochrane.bsky.social bluntly confronting dumbfounded Con pundit Gary Keller today with a very chilling scenario for Canada under Poilievre. Canada, this is an emergency and it’s only one facet of a Poilievre govt bringing calamity.

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination. This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children. This, in a PREVENTABLE disease. Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.
