What a kick in the teeth to these local GPs who tried their best to keep the practice going, had to throw in the towel only to see their local commissioners hand the contract over with a huge uplift of funding. Wonder if Wes Streeting MP is aware… pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practice-…

"80% of everyone I treated was under the age of 16... all of the injuries were explosive related & burns... I saw a lot of lower limb trauma, children losing legs, arms... a lot of facial injuries" British Plastic surgeon Victoria Rose has just returned from working in Gaza

This is upsetting to see Dr Nikita Kanani (she/her) . This isn’t an evidence based intervention. It is profiting on promises that can’t be kept. The reason this stuff isn’t offered in the nhs (beyond standard BP/cholesterol etc) is to do with the lack of evidence for it.

Israel has dropped almost 80,000 tons of explosives - this means that Israel has dropped ~36 kilograms of explosives on Gaza for every man, woman, and child. Each red dot shows a bombed place in Gaza. (UN Satellite Centre, July 6th) This is what genocide looks like.

A cache of freedom of information responses on interactions between GMC, HEIW and others regarding Medical Associate Professionals. A vital read that justifies many doctor concerns about this. Diolch to those who did the work. paprojectwatch.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl… Some highlights 🧵 1/

Medical professionals terminology should only be used to describe medical doctors. Healthcare professionals can be used to encompass all who deliver healthcare to patients. Furthermore, each clinical role should be clearly defined in a language patients can understand.

Is the RCGP going to be clear about the role & scope of PAs in GP Practice or are there too many COIs? PAs cannot see undifferentiated patients safely 10 years of medical training often isn’t enough to pass MRCGP & even then it’s only the beginning COIs need declaring #TeamGP

An important update from Anaesthetists United on the PA & AA scandal which raises the important question - where is the GMC getting the money to defend it’s outrageous position - hopefully not doctors fees or taxpayers money from the Government. This is a question that needs answering

Benefit fraud, which is tiny, is said to be a scourge which must be crushed. But straight corruption involving public bodies, politicians and their cronies is just fine.

16000 children's shoes laid out in the memory of 16000 Palestinian children that Israel killed in 11 months. Thanks Holland. Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

In the last week I have seen a paediatric patient with a significantly delayed diagnosis who was originally seen by a PA several months in primary care before they were diagnosed. I’ve never quite voiced my concerns on here about this before but undifferentiated patients 1/3

Delighted to have been elected Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee Health and Social Care Committee. From GPs to dentists, maternity services to mental health there is much to do. The committee has a vital role to play scrutinising govt as it tackles these challenges.

GPs do 37 hours in 3 days. It’s not part time, it’s shift work. Seeing 40-50 patients a day is not safe - not for patients nor for doctors. Value GPs, fund GPs, resource GPs

BREAKING🚨 Israeli forces just bombed tents full of displaced civilians in Khan Younis… 20 tents, 40 dead, 80 injured and the majority women and children… THIS IS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza the world would not believe it. Israel said it was a misfired Hamas rocket and the mainstream media went into protection mode. Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals, and bombed multiple refugee camps in Gaza… and not a single

This is the most disturbing matter Royal College of Physicians “had the EGM been held before that point, the concerns raised would have been fed into the parliamentary process and may have affected the passage of the legislation” Was that politically motivated?
