A study found people who had kept the same GP for more than 15 years had a 25% lower chance of dying than those with a GP relationship lasting a year or less. What gives continuity of care this remarkable power? @HelenRSalisbury ow.ly/u1We50GpWBX

This is what we need to do to improve relational based care.

If your friend is sick, send a message about nature and positives about life and say no need to reply. Dr Liz O'Riordan thanks. When ill there is little energy to reply but good news and notes on life are great. x.com/Liz_ORiordan/s… tinyurl.com/78rnsn9w

What does the term ‘EDI’ really mean to you in your everyday life? (Be honest please, this is anonymous!)

Tonight’s EGM - 1500(ish) online was a fantastic demonstration on how doctors can influence policy. We have a lot of work to do but I really feel our membership has spoken and we have an enormous responsibility to advocate for doctors and our patients. Thank you Anaesthetists United

Dr Mona Aquilina says Royal College of General Practitioners RCGP Annual Primary Care Conference Get the local ICBs to ask what a GP (and retiring GPs) wants to do in the area. Most will do what they want to at low cost or even voluntarily if supported

One of the most crucial parts of GP is continuity. Knowing my patients is the most helpful tool I have. The govt is ruining this with politically-driven access targets and other election-ready soundbites which poorly represent what patients actually need. I can’t book follow-up
