I do hope BBC Panorama is working on this, with a proper deep dive into the associations+funding of Reform There’s so much talk of spying. Nathan Gill, close to leaders of a party that aspires to govern the country, has *admitted* working for Russian interests. What are the links btwn Russia+Reform?

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

Helpful to explain what £169/patient/year pays for (this is £40 less than 2015 in real terms funding & only £123 is patient care)

380million appts in GP practices - half with GPs

But there is more to General Practice than just appts

Asking my hairdresser to provide unlimited haircuts for less than £3 a week, including online booking & an immediate response to emergency shave at 1min before closing

That’s a NO😂😂

Meanwhile the GP practice - Wes says you must do all that & more

Surveys show a mismatch between what tier most physician assistants think they can work at and what tier most doctors think they can work at.

There is a mismatch between physician assistants and doctors in confidence and competence

If a bus arrives at a stop already full & there is a queue of people what should the driver do ? To me it seems like the answer in GP land is to create more queues & ask the driver to open the door. And if that doesn’t work it’s the driver at fault?

There are currently only 250 job GP roles available across 6277 GP practices 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Patients have said GP access as the most important concern in #NHS provision

So following a legal challenge from the @goodlawproject.bsky.social, the GMC had last year accepted its need to reconsider the decision not to investigate Aseem Malhotra, enemy of donuts.

This was 17 months ago. Does anyone know where we are in that process?
Crowdfunder updates 15/02/2024 Judicial review will not proceed The GMC has accepted that its decision not to investigate the allegations against Dr Aseem Malhotra was "materially flawed". It will now reconsider Dr Matthew Kneale's appeal of the decision not to investigate. The council have insisted on going back to court to determine how much of Kneale's costs they will pay, and have agreed to pay £4,000 plus VAT towards Malhotra's costs, which is highly unusual. We are very grateful for your support. We'll be scrutinising the GMC's next steps closely, and will stand by to challenge them if needed.

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

GPs without jobs, patients without care.

4,200 newly trained GPs just graduated from training – yet many can’t find work.

The Government needs to fix the GP unemployment crisis today.

Find out how you can support our campaign 👉

The graphic shows an illustration of patients queuing at a GP surgery, waiting for appointments, and doctors queuing at a job centre to highlight the GP unemployment crisis - with the copy: An extra 1.26 million appointments waiting to be delivered every month - if only all newly trained GPs could find a job.
