This is what’s achievable when #NHS resourced to deliver - a remarkable coalition of clinical staff, community and volunteers with skin in the game to protect the nation. Contrast with billions spent on privately outsourced test & trace without outcomes independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

This is the moment that Anne became the first person in Coventry to receive a #CovidVaccine from their GP surgery. Dr Smithers gave Anne her vaccine and she described it as painless and similar to any other injection. Anne will be back for her booster in 21 days.

It’s a great privilege to chair @BMA_GP and thanks to all who support the work we do for the profession. There are huge challenges ahead but I know GPs and our teams will respond and we will do all we can to enable that.
Congratulations to @RVautrey on his re-election as chair of GPC England and UK today. Read his latest bulletin for updates on #COVID19 measures, GP appointment data, a survey of salaried GPs and more bma-mail.org.uk/t/JVX-71T82-…

.⁦@MartinRCGP⁩ has told ⁦@BBCNewsnight⁩ that GPs & other NHS workers need to be prioritised for testing. Staff shortages due to having to isolate are impacting on care being delivered to patients. And GPs need access to tests for patients with a clinical need for them

At @TheBMA #ARM2020 (annual meeting of doctors) our chair @CNagpaul says it’s one thing going for a ‘moonshot’ but ‘back on planet earth’ patients and NHS staff can’t get a #Covid_19 test when they need one. The system is shambolic and failing. @DHSCgovuk need to sort it ASAP

GPs and teams have been working hard caring for their patients every day during this pandemic. Many GPs have died as a result. When patients need to be seen they will be. It’s appalling that @NHSEI is threatening practices and not doing more to support us bbc.co.uk/news/health-541389…

Today a maximum of 6 people from 2 households are allowed to meet indoors. Tomorrow after the "rule of six", 6 people from 6 different households can meet indoors. How will this contain rising infection rates given mixing of different households indoors is high risk of spread?

The pandemic has shown the health of our nation quite literally depends on our Public Health service. After years of funding cuts, my blog on why we desperately need a properly resourced independent voice and advocate for the public’s health bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/…

Rather than a further blog, I have updated @TheBMA webpage on @nhs_pensions for Sessional GPs in order that the information can be in one place and it can be kept updated. bma.org.uk/pay-and-contracts… @BMA_GP @NHSEngland @AISMANewsline @pulsetoday @FT @Vish_Sharm @goldstone_tony
