There’s a lot of talk about inequalities and “levelling up”. Life expectancy is FALLING in some areas. There is a 27 year difference in life expectancy in Chelsea vs Blackpool. Surely this needs to be a priority for the government - and us all. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-588933…

No other part of NHS is subject to access league tables blaming them for workforce shortages, publicly shaming with patient feedback texts, & CQC hit squads blaming them for failing. If general practice was an employee, it would claim harassment, discrimination, victimisation

Please can SOMEONE in government listen to Alice????? Or just make her PM or something………

When you work in an area with deprivation there are still LARGE numbers of people who don’t have access to, or confidence to use, technology. Digital may be the future but we need urgent work to avoid leaving these people behind. #DigitalInclusion #HealthInequalities
