I actually don't mind doing sick notes.
Many times I've had someone getting sicker and sicker and I've asked "do you need signing off?" And they just break down in tears because it's the system that's making them sick all along
GP’s will soon be stripped of the ability to sign people off work as part of a major government inititive to crack down on ‘sick note culture’
Rishi Sunak says people should stop 'over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life'

"Why couldn't I see them??"
Their screams are still with me now
I called so many people on the phone to tell them their loved one was dead or dying in December 2020.
"Can I come and see them?"
"We have to protect everyone we can from this. No visitors are allowed. I'm so sorry."
"I understand."

Dear people who sort referrals
Please kindly explain to me how the patients BMI will make a difference to anything?
If it's a cancer referral you will still have to see them
If it's a routine they likely won't be seen for a year so BMI might be different,
What's the point?

I'm going to put it out there: the reason doctors can make complex decisions with new/rare/complex diseases is because of a wealth of background knowledge.
You may only need it once, but once matters.
The idea that you can pick it up as you go along is foolish.
I’m putting it out there: I don’t believe it takes 5 years to get a medical degree. And I do believe that you can learn on the job if you already have a clinical role. Doctors should be honest with themselves.
Was every minute of your degree spent in learning/working? Was…
