Me and Deborah Cohen are powerhouses just saying ❤️

Medical regulation has a blind spot when it comes to regulating doctors promoting stuff with great promise for £ when it doesn't work.

Lack of effective regulation around highly priced but ineffective interventions for people with cognitive issues is deeply troubling.
Caring for patients with dementia should also mean protecting them from false, expensive hope.

My latest with Margaret McCartney for unherd.com/2024/05/the-al…

Therapy therapy but maybe make the actual job well enough resourced so that normal work doesn’t require superhuman people

We need to more clearly define the concept of early diagnosis which, despite appearances, is not always an unmitigated good, write Margaret McCartney, Peter J Liu, Anne Fearfull, Helen Macdonald, and Peter D Donnelly

I think my docman (GP computer system) crashed 6+ times today. loading is sooooo tedious. if NHS IT was sorted out productivity would increase, frustration decrease, and the sense that someone actually cared would probably bowl me over

I've got bad news

Docman doing my head in
