A GP doesn't need to take obs and a full medical history every time they see a patient. Is this what qualifies as a good level of "service"? GPs take targeted histories. They do holistic care. They... ...never mind. Bring on transactional care. Neighbourhood teams...
@iDrSunny Plenty of patients have been seen and treated safely by ANPs. My partner is one and takes a full medical history and obs for each patient he sees. You'd be lucky to receive this level of service from a GP or hospital based doctor.

Happy Christmas! Jesus born in a occupied country, his parents fled persecution seeking sanctuary in a foreign country He taught us to love our neighbours, likely to be considered ‘enemies’ or foreigners All Christians are called to do the same - love & care for others!

Not all healthy behavior looks like broccoli and gyms. Some of it looks like… fun. 🎄 PLOS Medicine found strong social ties = better survival. BMJ Active Advent shows playful activities nudge us to move more. Small, enjoyable habits = better heart health.

🎄 Christmas pressure is real. A BMJ review shows 5 mins of mindfulness or slow breathing can boost wellbeing. This season: 🌬️ Breathe 🧘 Pause 💚 Be present, not perfect Mental calm = festive gold ✨ #Wellbeing #ChristmasStress #BMJreview

We need to talk about Christmas dinner (not cancel it 😅). Most yearly weight gain creeps on at Christmas, but small tweaks help: keep what you love, shrink the beige snacks, double the veg. #ChristmasDinner #HeartHealth

Big heart studies show risk rises as alcohol goes up – esp. for blood pressure, stroke & heart rhythm. This Christmas: 🧮 Stay ≤14 units/week, with drink-free days 🥤 Alternate with soft drinks @TheBHF @Drinkaware @NHSuk

Loneliness isn’t just a feeling – it’s a health risk, with effects on survival similar to smoking. Strong social ties = better survival. @EndLonelinessUK @Age_UK @NHSuk @NHSCandM

This #ChildrenInNeed week, we’re backing early care 👶🏽💛 Research in @LancetGH shows that good nutrition, safe homes & emotional support lead to longer, healthier lives. Kindness today = stronger futures tomorrow. “Early care isn’t charity — it’s health in action.”

Covering on-line access means other care gets naked/neglected not enough doctors or funding to support everything. 🤯 #HealthcareCrisis #GP @WesStreeting @rcgp @NHSEngland @TheKingsFund @nuffieldtrust @stevetaylor @davetriska @Parody_RCGP @doctor_katie

The safest level of alcohol? According to The Lancet, it’s ZERO. UK guidelines suggest a max of 14 units a week — but less is better. 💡 Try: Smaller servings Alcohol-free days Low/no-alcohol options #PublicHealth #GPs #NHS #AlcoholAwareness

The 4S Trial proved statins cut heart disease deaths by a third. Prefer diet first? Oily fish, olive oil, and high-fiber foods naturally lower cholesterol. Every positive step counts! @TheBHF @heartukcharity @MyPocdoc @SteveRoestCEO @heartresearchuk @HeartResearchPR

Four simple numbers can change your life: height, weight, blood pressure, & cholesterol. Knowing them helps determine your risk of heart disease & stroke in just 10 minutes. #HeartHealth #PreventativeCare
