Government planning for #coronavirus 'more focused on hospitals and much more focused on NHS 111 and insufficiently focused on general practice', Royal College of General Practitioners chair @MartinRCGP tells Londonwide LMCs conference #GPnews

I've seen what this virus can do. I've been on intensive care, seen patients there. I can see what's coming over the horizon. Please, stay at home, if you're on your way out, please stay in. I'm begging you, please. #COVID19

The government removed a key section from Public Health England’s review of the relative risk of covid-19 to specific groups, HSJ has discovered. hsj.co.uk/story.aspx?sto…

Our dedicated, hardworking team of GPs came in on Mon morning to be faced with this. The public is fed a diet of this narrative from The Telegraph and Mail+ We will continue serving our deprived population with pride Jaimie Kaffash Dr Nikita Kanani (she/her) Richard Vautrey @DrKatie.BSky.Social Dr Zoe Norris

Emotional and powerful maiden speech from the brilliant Dr Farah Jameel #lmcconf

Whilst boosted adults debate 💋 under mistletoe 🎄 Children’s plays, nativity, concerts and choirs are cancelled... Without batting an eyelid

My strongest memory of COVID: I was sat in a respirator. They are horrible to wear. It made my nose stream and I'd gone deaf in one ear from pressure on my temperomandibular joint from the mask straps. I was tired. So, utterly, dog tired. I'd just reviewed a man, in his 50s

Discussions on this tomorrow at #lmcconf, hope we can make some progress on this

Smashed it! Shaba Nabi #lmcconf

Excellent report from Ben Molyneux #LMCConf We need to stop ignoring the needs of sessional GPs!

Response of GP Survival to the disgraceful ad hominem attack in media yesterday on a hard-working GP helping out her old home practice by working remotely; we are still collecting member signatures. GP Survival Parody RCGP - Not a Doctor or PA DAUK GP Committee General Practice

Anyone else feeling really vulnerable working in the NHS after a GP was individually named & shamed WITH THEIR PHOTO printed by certain media outlets? The “crime” - providing remote consultations for her former GP practice ENOUGH of these attacks on GPs! WHO IS PROTECTING US?!

He’s only saying what a big chunk of the population think: You can [be] Born here Raised here Speak the Queens English Schooled here Employed here Pay taxes here Love British culture & people (the nice half) But if you’re not white you won’t be accepted (by the other half)

Yesterday we learned of the disgusting sexual abuse female surgeons experience in the NHS. Today, writing in the Times, recently retired anaesthetist Peter Hilton unintentionally shows exactly why disgusting sexual abuse in the NHS still thrives & prospers. Un - be - lievable.

The motion fails with a 49% for and 51% against, revote as some people report electronic voting failed but outcome is the same. There appears to be a big divide between salaried and partner reps at #LMCConf

An important article describing some of the unbearable conditions many UK GPs work under. Have seen experienced GPs of 30 yrs have breakdowns, from overwork. I am moving into other roles for my wellbeing. The pressure is unhealthy & unsustainable. 😟 telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
