The work GP practices do (and how they do it) matters hugely to #productivity in the NHS. Last week @Cambridge_Uni brought new evidence to light on how seeing the same doctor over time matters (continuity). But that is only half the story… 🧵👇

Thoughtful reflections from @ashjamesphysio & @HSJnews on first contact physios in primary care. We need more GPs. We need more FCPs. No one gains – least of all, patients – if it becomes a conversation pitching roles against each other. (hsj.co.uk)

Summary of the evidence on changing workforce to deliver nursing care. TLDR: nurses do it better. Replacing nurses with people who are less well trained kills patients. Time to abandon workforce substitution across the NHS!

Anticipatory meds are really useful tool in end of life care, providing effective symptom control.  Hugely impt for people who are dying, & their families.   But this is not a good sticking plaster for inadequate & over stretched community services - we must caution against that.

Next @Ben_Bowers__ explores community nurses’ views & experiences of their new or extended roles in palliative care. Larger case loads & more complex work. Opportunities but risk of moral distress Fragmented relationships w/ GPs left them feeling unsupported
