Great to have @neilcgray visit us at Keppoch Medical Practice yesterday, we discussed the challenges of General Practice at the Deep End, importance of Primary Care in tackling health inequalities and opportunities with the Inclusion Health Action in General Practice project.

‘women living in the most deprived parts of Scotland tend to remain in good health only until the age of 47 and just under 45 for men, compared to 72 and 71 respectively for those in the most affluent areas’ heraldscotland.com/news/2422…

"It's the single most beneficial service that has been brought into general practice in the past decade at least" Lives could be lost over link worker cuts, say GPs bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…

“If we want to arrest the decline in life expectancy, tackling inequality is the best place to start.” ⁦@HMcArdleHT⁩ hits the nail on the head here. Very deep poverty has steadily increased here since late 90s. Poverty must fall to fix this. heraldscotland.com/news/2382…

Dear Twittersphere, please read and RT 🙏 “Health leaders in Glasgow are under pressure to reverse plans that would see the number of community links practitioner (CLP) posts slashed from nearly 70 full-time roles to 42 in 2024.” heraldscotland.com/news/2373…

Reduced service for the @deependgp patients who need our support the most -less time for community networking -staff facing redundancy Do you know about these plans? @RozaSalih @Cllr_Rashid @ChrisStephens @HumzaYousaf
📉The @GCHSCP says it recognises the benefits CLWs bring but some GPs will see reduction to a part-time worker in April. @redmond_kidd @IanMWelsh @IreneOldfather @justine_duncan @Rob_Gowans @ALLIANCEScot @SM_GCHSCP @aewilliamsonl @CatrionaMorton3 @VHSComms healthandcare.scot/stories/3…
