Today is the Feast of St. Gerard Majella. Patron of mothers, childbirth, the unborn, the falsely accused, and good confessions. 'Consider the shortness of time and the length of eternity...Of what use is it to lean upon that which cannot give support?'

The Lancet predicts we will be short 11k consultant physicians. Yet we face huge bottlenecks in getting into training to become the consultants of the future. The public deserves doctor-led healthcare; the government must act to fix this scandal of doctor unemployment.

Royal College of General Practitioners Very disappointed @RCGP. Sadly Clare Gerada promoted PA experiment damaging patients' health, damaging GP profession. She had to be forced to back track & listen to members. Her career has failed patients and colleagues. She has profited from PA scandal. Listen to GP membership

Your GP isn’t ignoring you; they’re overwhelmed 🚨Fewer doctors 🚨More patients 🚨Endless online requests The NHS is at breaking point. Wes Streeting, act now before it’s too late. Sophia Edwards 💙 Thank you 🙏🏻

I want to take a moment and point out that the quality of UK medical training has fallen to embarrassing levels. Registrars regularly CCT with inadequate procedure numbers. A&E trainees are shoo'd away from cardiac arrests because of target pressures. Sh*t healthcare begets

GP Crisis - Why you can’t see a GP A detailed explanation
