We're vaccinating today! Come and get your 1st, 2nd, 3rd or booster jab!

COVID vaccination clinics: We are holding two clinics at Temple Cowley Health Centre: Thursday 23rd December and Thursday 30TH December PLEASE CALL THE PRACTICE TO BOOK A SLOT THE CLINICS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. NO WALKINS AT PRESENT

The NHS is getting ready to offer more people a #COVIDBooster vaccine and will prioritise those at greatest risk. The NHS will let you know when it is your turn.

Great that boosters are going to be given to all over 18’s and 12-15 year olds will get a second dose of vaccine. But please don’t follow the advice from @BBCTheOneShow or @BBCNews to phone your GP about it. You will be contacted when your jab is available for you! #GetBoosted

My brother died yesterday from covid, he was 56 years old. My last day with him was at my local hospitals ICU. Me, my sister and his family were called and were told we needed to go quickly to say our goodbyes to Cameron. We all got there as quickly as possible.

NHS has reached 'tipping point' and is facing 'unsustainable pressures' leaders warn in our survey. Urgent extra support for social care to ensure effective discharge for medically fit patients and help free up capacity across the NHS is needed. https://t.co/DXArmkd2D5

Think it's a bit jarring to hear there's no unsustainable pressure on the NHS, when many of us are one bad shift away from just walking out forever.

We are recruiting to our pharmacy team! We have lead pharmacist, pharmacist and pharmacy tech & are looking to recruit another pharmacist - mixed model of practice based clinics and a pharmacy hub model. Come & join us! @rpharms @Pharmacistjen https://t.co/P6z5zO8GSL

Come and join us at SEOxHA PCN - looking for a mental health practitioner to join our ever expanding team! @OxfordHealthNHS @CdsPcn @OxonCCG

Things that would make GP a job I could do in a practice again. 1. Varying appt lengths to allow for work that takes time, particularly women's health and psych which ends up being the majority of the work. 2. Colleagues who recognise each other's skills & appts allow for this

Packed audience for #PCNclinical directors @vanmellaerts @DrKathrynB about how they have overcome key challenges facing #PCNS through #Covid_19 and recruitment & retention of the #ARRSworkforce We have been proud to support with SMART and happy to meet in the flesh at atleast

NEW: people obsess over vaccine uptake stats, eagerly comparing one country to others to see which has jabbed the highest share of its population, but what if I told you many — perhaps most — of those stats are wrong? Time for a thread on bad Covid data and how it can cost lives

@NadeejaK @NHS_ICB #TimeforCare Unless and until individual humans in the workforce are respected and treated as that, we will continue to have recruitment and retention issues across all disciplines. A thriving workforce is only sustainable by supporting and enabling each individual within it 2/2

Looking forward to joining this panel to reflect and discuss the development of PCNs and the impact of Covid. Has been a helpful exercise for me reflecting on all we want to achieve and the challenges that lie ahead for our PCN. @CdsPcn

Tomorrow 4.4 million households, with 5.1m adults and 3.5m children, will see their incomes fall by £1,000 overnight. For 1 million households that will mean an immediate loss of over 10% of their income as we take the basic rate of benefits to its lowest level since 1990

Everyone keeps talking about covid becoming endemic, but as I listen to the conversation, it’s becoming more & more clear to me that very few of you know what “endemic” means. So here’s a thread on how pandemics end.

Here are two NHS budgets: one under control, the other not so much: Can you guess what they are and which one got scandalous headlines last week for being out of control?

In September 2015, there were 28,100 fully qualified FTE  GPs in England. In June 2021, there were 27,700, a 1.3% decrease. In February 2019, there were 25 million general practice appointments in England. In July 2021, there were 28 million, a 12% increase.

Our study finds #COVID19 clinical risk tools should reflect factors predominantly affecting ethnic minorities including: multiethnic age structures, multimorbidity & deprivation This will enable early identification & triage to appropriate care (1/10) https://t.co/1l7I8yMm7t
