At Prime Minister's Questions today, I asked if Government would setup a Commission for Palliative and End Of Life Care, so that everyone can access the very best support when terminally ill. I've also secured a meeting with Health Secretary or Minister, to discuss further. #PMQ

Straight talking, sensible commentary from David Oliver (also on Blue Sky) as usual. Believe it or not, most medical leaders are not in it for "gongs and glory" Some of us are in it to do the right thing by our patients and colleagues (and often take a pay cut to do so)

Been arguing this point for a long time. Risk scores developed in hospital settings do not translate well to #primarycare Yes, measure vital signs. But key element is overall assessment and interpretation by an experienced GP

Ladies and Gentlemen, it *might* be my birthday soon. And I *might* have celebrated with a whisky masterclass Penderyn Distillery in Swansea. And I *might* have bought myself a couple of single malt birthday gifts... 😁 (Remember, drink responsibly!)

Thank you sara cox💙 and team for reading out my Dad's story on today's show. He said it was "the best birthday present ever!" 😁 This is from the day I walked onto Intensive Care (3 weeks after his heart attack) and the consultant said "do you want to take him for an ice cream"

Interesting afternoon at RCGP Cymru Wales Council meeting. Good discussions about state of General Practice and what we can do to support the profession. Also some thoughtful debates about issues going to UK council. An engaged bunch of people, and well chaired by Rowena Christmas

Whstever your view on #AssistedDying , it is vital that #PalliativeCare services are improved in the UK, regardless of whether the law changes. Services to support people with life limiting conditions need to be properly funded and not reliant on goodwill and charity.

Some personal reflections on the strengths and weaknesses of the NHS in 2024, and some hopes for 2025 cliffjonesgp.wordpress.com/2025/01/01/new…

When the system is under pressure, the focus is ever more on the hospital. We are not meeting people's needs in the community, especially for chronic disease management and care. Unless we address this (and GPs play a key part) we will never improve the situation we are in.
