Dan Poulter joins Labour with a CV including ‘Tory Health Minister 2012-15’ - he helped implement the Health & Social Care Act 2012, the most damaging ‘reform’ of the NHS since 1948. Poulter’s ex-party is responsible for one nurse taking their life and 268 patients dying from…

This isn't a GP surgery.

It's a PA farm.

The partners running this outfit should be ashamed.

Nine PAs running their own GP clinics can cause untold damage to patients.

Note that there is zero supervision built into their timetable for a newly 'qualified' PA.

‘Boom’ in Private health care is just 268,000 treatments per year compared with over 12,000,000 in the NHS
Private Care won’t replace NHS but is enjoying a ‘boom’ feeding on concerns, lack of Govt support & doing 15% of NHS work for a starved NHS.

Ex state school governor here. I’ve got a better idea: put kids’ art on the walls. And pictures of them having fun and helping people.

Are you a GP Partner? Would the PAs you have be able to untangle this?

5-year-old. (Mum is an HCP). Fever pain score being used for ? scarlet fever. Should unregulated individuals be assessing for scarlet fever (a notifiable disease)?

A lot to unpack here. (Consent given)

In case you are unaware. The shortage of GPs and other specialists is purposefully created.

A deliberate decision not to let doctors into the training programme.

A deliberate action to limit the number of trained doctors.

In this election year, it is a now-or-never…

How can you *possibly* treat final year medical students so disgustingly, NHS England?

Are you actively *trying* to lose the doctors you still have?

I’m incandescent on behalf of these poor about-to-be doctors.

In my medical career I have easily spent more time treating patients with complications from the private sector than treating asylum seekers.

Don’t believe the haters!

Let's not call for more resilience, diagnoses, drugs, medicalisation & neurofication to address escalating rates of poor mental health, let's call for new social policy to tackle its social determinants & properly fund demedicalised psycho-social support. That's it in a nutshell.

Nurses up and down the country are going home in tears feeling like they are failing patients.

They are not.

They are being failed by this government.

Enough is enough.

If the next government wants to fix the NHS, the first thing they should do is give all staff a significant pay rise!

RT if you agree! 💙💙💙

Just one of the hundreds of avoidable deaths happening every month due to a govt refusal to fund the NHS properly. These are real people and they're being utterly failed.

The latest monthly GP workforce figures for England show the number of patients per practice is rising.

GPs are now responsible for about 18% more patients than in 2015, demonstrating ever-mounting workload pressures.

Let’s take a look at the data 🧵

I was one of the many GPs raising legitimate safety concerns about the same days access hubs in NW London

The hubs were shut down due to an outcry from doctors & patients alike

The response from ICB?!

A thinly veiled threat of a GMC referral for the doctors speaking out!…

This is just basic decent practice and should be happening already.

There's one thing that Atkins could do to improve working conditions, and that's come to the negotiating table.

Wes Streeting MP Thanks for asking

As some one who has worked in the NHS for 35 yrs and examined its working throughout that time my list of what needs changing would start with

Stop breaking the system by defunding it in the name of efficiency. It is way beyond the point at which trying to cut…

The evidence is clear

Privitisation of the NHS costs lives

Send a clear message to The Labour Party, Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting MP to remind them that NHS privitisation is a vote loser

👉 Restore NHS pay
👉 End outsourcing and provitisation
👉 Pay of PFI debts

RT if you agree

People across the UK are already having to pull their own teeth out because they can't access or afford an NHS dentist & now new official data shows 60% of dentists in England are thinking of leaving the NHS!

Meanwhile the Government has offered nothing to turn the tide
