The anti-GP violence, abuse & aggression continues unabated. This is our waiting room WilsonStreetSurgery y’day after a patient trashed it. Negative media narrative, anti-GP rhetoric, unrelenting demand & unrealistic expectations leads to this level of violence. Where will it end?

I can’t have a cocktail yet today because #domisstillabadman 😭😭

To any #JuniorDoctors feeling wobbly tonight about tomorrow - you are doing the right thing. Pay restoration needs to happen to safeguard the profession & the future of the #NHS. General practice is with you #BMA #PayRestorationNow

The junior doctors operating on your appendix are paid just £66.55 between them. For a potentially life-saving procedure, which lasts about an hour. Is this a fair price to put on high quality healthcare? #PayRestoration #JuniorDoctorsStrike

How long can ministers stick to the shaky line that they can't talk to @BMA_JuniorDocs while they seek a 35% pay rise when the public back doctors? Negotiations have to happen eventually - as they did with other unions. #JuniorDoctorsStrike

Stick to your guns all those taking part in the #JuniorDoctorsStrike. The #NHS needs staff so it needs #PayRestorationNow for a safer future NHS - strong support from your #GP colleagues round the country

I don’t always know the right words to say, but as a physician and human, the violence toward medical facilities and patients in Gaza is awful and heartbreaking. To all my colleagues in health care risking their lives to save others, my heart is with you.

1. Expert generalist GPs over skill-mix 2. Quality over quantity 3. Continuity over access 4. Autonomous patient-advocacy over banal service standardisation 5. Individuality over uniformity 6. Choice over compulsion 7. Human connection over AI 1/x pulsetoday.co.uk/news/breaking-…

I worked as a GP in care homes during the 1st wave. Wearing limited &homemade PPE. Asking patients I’d just met what their end of life preferences were, with my face hidden behind mask and visor. Seeing the impact of no testing before discharge. And so many deaths #Breathtaking

If anyone thinks that racism is only about tackling issues in white individuals? Then you aren’t aware enough The views of many from South Asian community towards black colleagues are equally abhorrent And reflected in #NHS Challenge your own bias “Colourism” is a thing.

0️⃣5️⃣ working days left for Department of Health and Social Care NHS England to offer safety, stability and hope for GP practices across England for 2024/25…. ⏰⏳🙏 General Practice Dr David Wrigley Dr Samira Anane Philip Banfield 💙 Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 The BMA

'You will have your shift, do your work, you will be rewarded for the points you score based on patient satisfaction outcome measures, you’ll have your review on the website as to how good you are.' Dr Zoe Norris's dystopian view on general practice in 2044 bit.ly/42Or762

A word of caution here, folks: 👉1.9% = a disgrace 👉to match 2019/20 we need 8.7% putting this derisory offer into context 👉#FPR for salariedGPs ~ c£450m 👉Total practice income/patient has ⬆️ by only £15 in a decade - Yes! *£15* Nice words won’t save General Practice 🧵👇

The Conservatives, Department of Health and Social Care & NHS England have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country. 🧵👇

I spent time with some awesome newly qualified GP Fellows yesterday If you’re a newly qualified GP, or recent-ish CCT & job hunting, do you want a practice role or a PCN role like ARRS? (I know what I’d advise, & what I’d choose - but I want to check…) Dr Malinga Ratwatte @bma_gp
