My husband was "diagnosed" with COPD by an A&E Physician's Associate. And then we had to wait nearly a year for further tests to show that "diagnosis" was wrong. But with no feedback loop to A&E that PA continues to think themselves more competent than they are. Terrifying.

My appointment has come through for a gynae appt…. Only 2yrs to go!
Isn’t it funny how even 2yrs from now I know I won’t be able to make this as it’s my daughter’s 18th birthday that day! 🤣
Waiting lists coming down are going really well🤦🏼♀️

Is is true @wesstreeting that GPs are getting fined for going "too" digital?
I've heard of a £4k fine for a surgery sending "too many texts" to their patients
Tell me this isn't true?

This was what my old practice found when it came to needing a new premises.
The bit of government that makes the rules how much space you get for size of patient list, has not joined up with the one that's been paying for PCNs to hire ARRS staff for years. Nowhere near big enough

Palantir claims that for every £1 that is spent £5 is returned.
Did you know that for every £1 spent on GPs, £14 is returned back!
Yet we have the lowest funding in a decade - they are taking money from us to pay Palantir!
This is not parody.
.@louismosley says in just two years, Palantir has helped the NHS:
— Give 110,000 operations patients wouldn’t have had otherwise
— Reduced discharge delays by 15%
— Increased number of patients who get notified of a cancer diagnosis within 28 days by 6.8%
“We’re delivering £5 for every £1 the government has spent.”
“We’re delivering for patients.”

So, in 90 minutes and one coffee, I built this. (Thanks @giles_home for the nudge).
A patient-facing eligibility checker for tirzepatide.
It gives patients clarity and gives GPs breathing space.
It isn't ready for launch as it needs QA.

Ask yourself why your thoughts aren't
"Why can't a CQC registered specialist provide me with a prescription for a treatment that I need? Why does a GP have to be involved?"
The argument for involving a GP isn't that great in a world where records are shared.

So many of us are itching to fix system problems. There are so many quick wins. So many. We understand the system like no one else.
Let’s fix one problem a week. Make us accountable. If it doesn’t show improvements in outcomes fire us.
Please won’t those at the top just fund Ankit for 3 hrs a week to solve so many of your problems in a way which doesn’t screw over Team GP?

Delighted to announce opening of my new practice !
Appointments opening soon - join the wait list!
For too long we have demanded evidence from trials before we act - this is just causing needless delays in ACTIONABLE INSIGHT GENERATION.
Instead we will offer:/

Over COVID the vaccine centres cost 3 x more than the GP to deliver the vaccine.
THey were celebrated with awards and acolades.
Many GP surgeries found that they actually were personally paying to deliver vaccines to their patients. Actually losing money for each one given.

NHS dentistry didn’t fragment overnight.
When funding fails to keep pace, workload and risk rise, and hospital work shifts into primary care, pressure builds.
Contract reform that effectively reduces funding while increasing obligation makes a split model more likely.

NHS GP reaches the people at greatest need.
NHS GP is massively under resourced.
Many GPs can’t get NHS work.
My prediction: steady increase in people with enough $ go private and poorest left with a patchwork of discontinuous protocol based care with massive gaps.

Thank you to all the GP’s and patients who spoke to me about this. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3wl…

It’s very ironic that everyone can replace a doctor in roles that involve diagnosing and treating patients but only a doctor will be able to end a life

Clinical and administrative work keeps spilling from hospitals into general practice.
GPs are expected to provide same-day urgent care on demand, while losing a third of their time to admin and follow-up tasks. All with no meaningful funding increase.
You can’t increase access without increasing capacity.

I came up with a partial solution to the NHS paperwork burden. It's saved the NHS over £2.5 million pounds and saved thousands of admin hours nationally.
I met with NHS England to see if it could be funded. They said there's "no money". Everyday I see what they do choose to spend money on.
I simply pay for it myself.

Doctors and parents should be aware that the medical textbook description of a "bright red measles rash" is based on white skin. On brown or black skin, the measles rash can be much harder to see. It may appear as darker, dusky or purple patches rather than bright red spots.

Ear wax removal a £115m business
GP weren’t funded, DN stopped from doing it
You pay £60 at your local private provider or wait 6m or more for the NHS hospital ENT clinic
Disproportionally affect the old - including ‘old’ Roy
Moving care away from the community to the private
Jan 12
Around a quarter of people needing wax removal say they can’t afford it… 15% didn’t have treatment. A large subset of people needing wax removal are priced out. myemail.constantcontact.com/…
