“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs..”

I understand the sentiment behind dry January, but if you don't want to commit to this, I've an alternative.
Pub January, where you stop in at your local hostelry, have a drink and support a sector that is in danger of shrinking into obscurity, and with it a large of part of our heritage.

Useful website to bookmark for free webinars on primary care topics from south London paediatricians. These are really useful from attendance as a GP.

Baroness Charlotte Owen's supposedly can’t be discussed in the press because of a super injunction.
The only reason for a super injunction would be because she is in fact Johnson’s daughter.
She and all the other unqualified grifters need to be kicked out of the House of Lords
Having too good a career, being too clever, or being too nice is now a negative prognostic factor for success. It’s doubly bad if you’re a confident female.
#TheTraitors really is a mirror of society.
‘Bring back the family Doctor’ appears to be just a election slogan
Just 88 GPs employed of the ARRS 1000 GPs in latest figures published today

NI rises forcing GP practices to cut staff with average cost £40,000 to practices
20% cut £/patient in past 8yrs by
100%
Every one of these doctors needs a career and a future.
We need more training numbers.
We also need to support the careers of anyone who chooses or finds themselves without a training number.
Both are part of the solution.

In my area we have 2,751 patients per GP: 1,600 is recommended. Just give them the money, Wes.
(Also eyecare, dentists, community care - all underfunded.)
Today like every week day 1.3m people will consult in General Practice
1/30 will need emergency care at A&E
1/5 will need a referral to another NHS service for investigation or treatment in the future
GP practices have been dealing with 20% more patients than 2019
5.6% of the budget
#GeneralPractice
GP for the past 30yr & have had a front seat in the journey of the #NHS
Each day I sit with people who need, want & must access the various services provided
Joy, sorrow, loss and gain, but for the most part the NHS is loved, despite its failings

Realised I don't want everything to be lost when I leave X - & here's a tweet I'd like to save for posterity.
7 years ago, curled up in bed with grief, I posted this & it went round the world, & the astounding response made me cry with gratitude.
Our magnificent, battered NHS.
I love you, Dad 💙

Completing foundation training? Seriously why bother?
The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released.
So who has been protecting the Reform MP?
I’m with Gordon Brown on this.
Sort out palliative care. I think it will worsen the care given to the most sick and vulnerable to ‘save money’ and put even more emotional pressure in Drs. #assisteddying #euthenasia

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE
He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"
The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly
Thoughts?

NHS England with the then Govt told us last Winter there were 5000 extra hospital beds
The Board have said that that these beds were ‘locked in’ permanently for the future
The latest available figures imply that they were less than transparent with the public making themselves look good

Researchers probing the effects of tobacco, alcohol, and ultraprocessed food are often the targets of intimidation and tactics designed to deter them from continuing their work or to discredit them, a study has found

Social media interventions as a public health strategy face important limitations. Diet and exercise-based social media interventions should be used with awareness of the potential negative impact on psychological health, body image and disordered eating. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
We hear a lot about the financial problems that NHS Trusts and general practices face. But community pharmacies also face similar funding challenges, exacerbated by additional problems such as dealing with drug shortages. Pharmacies provide many essential services and also need our support.
"A role built to compete with doctors, but with less training and more risk to patient safety, is not what the system needs."
Gillian Leng’s review of physician and anaesthesia associates is welcome, writes @parthaskar.bsky.social
www.bmj.com/content/387/...
The Gov’t has acknowledged a safety issue with the employment of physician associates & has ordered a review of their role in the NHS
If you are not yet with the issues involved watch my last report
Gov’t now needs to say how NHS will keep patients safe during this review
