Neena Jha It’s not been quick. It’s been going on for a decade. The crumbling has just fallen. All politicians were warned. I was in the room when Dr Maureen Baker CBE told them and showed them the evidence. Successive RCGP and BMA Chairs have told them. They’ve willingly ignored them all.

There is no ‘backstory’ to ending of 2/care NHS Practitioner Health other than (we’re told) - no budget. To remind, it was established following suicide of a psychiatry who also killed her baby and highlighted the barriers doctors have in accessing mental health care.

To the brilliant colleagues at RCGP NHS England AoMRC National Association of Link Workers Medical and Dental Research (UoB) - NASP are looking for new/additional trustees, do take a look

Two Presidents of the Royal College of Surgeons independently told me that they would not be able to tolerate the level of risk involved in practicing as a GP. Unravelling unsorted symptoms can be an immensely complex task.

My concept was a cross between a healthcare assistant and a doctor’s personal assistant. Preparing patients for the appointment, completing forms, pulling info together. Even making the tea!

This is actually pretty funny

Fascinating information on my favourite author #DorothyDunnett in her centenary year
