This is one of the best descriptions I have seen over many years !

So refreshing to have someone talk about disability care & carers issues !

Call to action #ChronicIllness community! There are currently several patients in hospital in the UK at risk of severe harm & even death, because there's no NHS Protocol in place to treat them. Whatever illness you have please sign & share widely. #NEISvoid

Clear, comprehensive & SAFE guidance by the BMA outlining PA scope of practice.

Specifically:

*** PAs must NOT be “seeing undifferentiated patients in ANY situation” ***

Thank you The BMA for upholding medical standards in the name of patient safety

👏

. Ella Pickover Hi Ella,

You covered a critical review of the NICE Guideline on ME/CFS back in July last year and it was featured in the Independent, Standard and Herald. Could you please consider writing about the rebuttal of this review by NICE which was published last week?…

4,000 GP places for 11,300 applicants.

Tell me why we need 5,000 PAs in primary care

Can any leader give me anything that makes any sense?

Please?

🙏🏽

This is just what’s needed ! As you start to remove your self from the NHS due to the impact of appointments on your health. This is definitely the case in our 21 year old daughter 🥲

Isn’t it time we stopped measuring the burden of C19 solely by deaths & hospitalisations? What about:

Brain damage
Blood vessel damage
Heart disease
Stroke
Dementia
Autoimmune disease
Long Covid

Death isn’t the only way to destroy a life.

General Practice is under tremendous pressure
Kent LMC survey shows 82% GPs & managers reporting significant stress levels!
57% plan to retire, leave or reduce hours in 5 years!
Now worse with further catastrophic income cut by NHS England

POV: you’re a wheelchair user and the staff haven’t turned up with a ramp, so you’re trapped on an empty train.

The emergency alarm is out of my reach so I have to rely on my shouting skills.

How would you feel if there was a risk of this happening every time you use the train?

Legal + media attention needed on Royal Lancaster Hospital where a severely ill, young #MECFS patient is being abused by staff refusing to follow NICE guidelines. Isn't this exactly what Martha's Rule was designed for? Department of Health and Social Care GMC Channel 4 News twitter.com/JulesAHouston/…

Paula Vennells has been stripped of her CBE by King Charles.

But she has kept her £3m bonuses, paid for of course by the tax payer who still own the Post Office.

RT if it's money we want back, not CBE's.

Almost 3000 people have signed this petition in the first 24 hours. Let's keep it going and let MorecambeBayNHSTrust know we're still watching. #MECFS #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #LongCovid #chronicillness

We have the best food banks, the best pot holes, the greatest queues at A&E, the best collapsing schools, the best NHS waiting list, the best shortage of workers, the best long train delays and high ticket prices, the best council deficit and world beating levels of poverty 🤡

Thank you for your energy #pwME .

I was wary about reading this, but Hannah Devlin does an excellent job of concentrating on the neurological and immunological abnormalities detected in #MECFS patients in the #NIHstudy that was published in Nature Communications yesterday.

#NeuroTwitter and my #Neurology colleagues in every subspecialty: Please read this paper! #Brainfog is associated with blood-brain-barrier disruption and neuroinflammation in #LongCovid . You can't fix that with antidepressants, CBT or treating a comorbid sleep disorder.
