Patients need doctors
Doctors need jobs.
The govt will tell you that they have a Workforce Plan, that they are training more doctors, but
they don't apparently have a plan to employ them.
This is horrible for the doctors involved. What a stupid waste.

Doctors want to train to be GPs but applicants outnumber training places 2.67 to 1
The number of training posts decreased by 5% this year.
Do not believe govt or NHS England when they say 'there just aren't enough doctors'
The problem is lack of funding to train and employ them.

You think I make shit up?
You think we don’t know that the biggest issue is workload dumping but the BMA is complicit with allowing it?

Yep. Take a look at this and then multiply it by the 10,000 GPs who are doing this today. With less funding. Meanwhile secondary care get more!

Great to see this fantastic openEHR-based project building more use year-on-year, and that's before the new Sickle cell support has been deployed plus all the new care planning modalities in phase 2 .. coming soon ...!!

Measles is AIRBORNE. To avoid getting it or passing it on, wear a respirator-grade mask that fits snugly when indoors in high-risk settings (eg healthcare facilities).

Well worth a read 👇. is now so complex the market is inevitably skewed to big suppliers with clunky solutions. Lowering the bar for new solutions to evolve using would let us escape this bind.

Really looking forward to this event. IMO this is our 'net-zero' challenge. It may take decades but if we do not start now we will be locked into a collapsing health IT market forever. Non-trivial but we have the tech and experience to start the journey.

My personal view on primary care IT. The centre should start building specific modules that can be integrated into existing primary care solutions, then overtime start replacing the systems by a national modularised platform. Bold change - but needed for modernisation.

As ever, an outstanding piece from Paul. We are asking the impossible of new entrants. Which is a key reason why the market is collapsing. And others will be next as the demands for interoperability grow.

A fraction of this budget could deliver an innovative world leading health care data infrastructure platform based on open standards on which innovative apps/software could be built on top of creating a longitudinal health record for patients

🌟It consumes 1️⃣GP appointment just to ask for 1️⃣hospital appointment to be more urgent🌟
1000s of patients are directed from hospital administrators to GPs.
Please, hospital teams, discuss with admin staff
1️⃣Prioritise
2️⃣Apologise
3️⃣Don't ask GP to reorganise
Thanks if you have!
