In 1996 we had 27,550 FTE GPs in England So in 29 years we have gained 151 FTE GPs 151 extra GPs to look after >10million extra patients Wow - this is a huge accomplishment by NHSE workforce planning
So, we now have fewer fully qualified, permanent GPs-down from 28,680 in 2016 to 27,701 in 2025. What an impressive increase. Meanwhile, the number of non-doctors practising as GPs in primary care keeps rising, compromising safety but no one dares to challenge the big players.

When trusts go into OPEL 4, it is common to see senior management put out statements that clinicians should be taking more risks when discharging patients. Who shoulders the liability from these decisions? Is OPEL 4 a defence in an FTP hearing or in court?

90% of sex attacks in council run swimming pools occur in mixed sex changing villages Police have “substantive concerns regarding the proposed mixed sex changing rooms” @Swim_England warn against them Why does @Sport_England still recommend them as the preferred option? 1/3

We do need to improve asthma care. Investment in community services, improvement in air quality needed along with asthma education. Need the authors to explain why GPs & Paediatricians are in Tier 3 of asthma management while ANPs are in Tier 4-5.
Here is an example of what is coming. The whole of Medicine, broken down into tasks and tiers. No need for knowledge. No need for expertise. Brought to you by HEE. Lets take a look at the new(ish) Framework for Asthma (May 2025).🧵 1/

Women need single-sex spaces because men who are voyeurs, exhibitionists and perverts are not unusual or rare - they are ordinary and they are everywhere.

Girls: Have one of these in your bag wherever you go. You never know when you'll be struck with period pains etc. Be careful not to get any in your eyes though, it's almost like being pepper sprayed- which you MUSTN'T carry because that's illegal in the UK.

I don’t have the energy to screen record but everyone watch this video . All ACPs will be credentialed to ST3 level because they do the same medical training , then post credentialing to consultant level . What is the point of Med school @RCollEM ? https://t.co/GRuSmafKLU

may I suggest instead of taking allotments away at huge loss to a large number of people that the same area could be nibbled off golf clubs to the detriment of far fewer folk #AllotmentLands

I’m an observer re resident doctors’ strike Medicine is one of the most competitive, hardest, longest & now debt ridden courses to supply a critical sector I see salaries of £18p/h compared to trades people because they have to “buy their own tools & petrol” 🤪 Strike so hard

It’s utterly appalling that newly qualified doctors - after 5 years of training - are paid less than “physician assistants” - who have just 2 years of training.
'Even if our pay was restored we would still be paid less than the Physician Assistants with their two year degree’ BMA Resident Doctors Committee Co-chair, Dr Ross Nieuwoudt says his members feel 'a little bit tricked' by Wes Streeting as they begin a five-day strike in England

Now we know why @wesstreeting refuses to negotiate with NHS staff. He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure.
Now we know why Rishi Sunak refuses to negotiate with NHS staff. He wants the strikes to go ahead, so he can blame doctors and nurses for his failure. #PMQs

Except that those who were PAs and then retrained as doctors say they barely scratched the surface of the actual medical curriculum in retrospect. I know who I trust on this.
@iDrSunny @wesstreeting This is originally from Karen Roberts who was course director at St George’s before moving to BSMS. “we probably cover 80% of the medical school curriculum in 2yrs. It is incredibly intense” 4:45 mins in https://t.co/T6bO4zquMF

"With immediate effect, please adopt the updated terminology as recommended in the review." - NHS England. Physician's Assistants are really taking the whole name change quite badly. I'm sorry but patient safety and clarity takes precedence over your misplaced sense of pride.

This is NOT “holistic mindful care” it’s gaslighting gone mad. A propofol TCI sedation or GA is care safe effective quick clean recovery. I am all for being nice & supportive but these women do not need to “focus on their breathing” they need safe anaesthesia.
Is this for real ? Women who have just miscarried are given a VR headset to watch instead of anaesthesia while any remains of the pregnancy are removed. This is not progress.

As our national colleagues @BMAResidents held constructive talks with @wesstreeting to try avert strike action next week, And in the context of the @lengreview outputs, Here’s a reminder of the perverse disparity the current NHS pay structure produces here in the capital.👇🏼
Today’s talks with the Health Secretary were constructive, and we believe there’s a window of opportunity - albeit small - in which the Government can put forward a strong enough proposal to prevent strikes. Full statement: https://t.co/ouJdrPdY3P

Camilla left school with one O Level and later got fired from a secretarial job for being late. That was her career. Yet because of the man she married she’s Chancellor of a university.
We would like to wish Her Majesty the Queen and Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen our very best wishes on her birthday. #ABDNfamily
