I’ve created this video to raise awareness of what’s happening to the NHS and General Practice now. Have tried to make it an interesting 5 minutes linking back to its history, despite the sad message being conveyed. Would recommend watching to the end as Nye Bevan gives a rousing

That’s the end of some practices in 2024/25 - this is purposeful destruction of General Practice in England It is vital that @andrealeadsom and @VictoriaAtkins act to save General Practice

💪 Today, we’re galvanising GPs from across England, Scotland, and Wales to make our voices heard. 🗣️ Now is an important moment – to work together, speak as one unified voice, and let politicians know that they must help us Rebuild General Practice. #RebuildGP

In response to the Telegraph's recent article about GP priorities, GPC chair @doctor_katie says that it "demonstrates a lack of understanding of the environment in which general practice is forced to operate." Read her letter to the Editor: [1/] https://t.co/yDsoUSaUBA

Monthly net salary 2005 DR - £2,168 MP - £2,293 2023 DR - £2,108 MP - £4,939 This is why I support the #DoctorsStrike And last year over 7,000 doctors left the UK for better paid jobs overseas. If you want to save the NHS, you too should support the strike.

The death toll in Montana is up to 254. It's a sad reality that wolves there are facing traps + snares when they should be focused on the arrival of their pups. Retweet to call on the @interior to prioritize conservation over bloodsport. #RelistWolves https://t.co/ioDuOW8Nqs

GP CRISIS If you have 5 GP providing 750 appts/week & one leaves Expecting the practice to still do 750 then each remaining GP is doing 25% more As GPs leave the remaining ones do more 2000 fewer GPs since 2015 -7% Increasing population +7% 10% waiting hospital treatment

GP Contract @NHSEngland GPs must provide more 50 people attempt to book one of 30 appts for a GP The capacity is still 30 however you carve it up The problem is there are not enough GPs Facts 2000 fewer than 2015 8000 short of what is needed 1.4m appts a day #GPCrisis

4/ @wesstreeting went on to say "Im perfectly fine with having a tax unregistered scheme." @TheBMA agrees. A #taxunregistered scheme removes the enormous complexity around pension taxation (& other solutions) as it completely fair to taxpayers RT if you agree #taxunregistered
