Reading the asthma plan both as a HCP then as a PT with asthma and brother in law of a severe asthmatic, it's an interesting read and wonder if this is the sign of the time, and soon all other conditions will have similar pathways such as diabetes/hypertension/copd

What would be a sensible number?
@medicalmodelbri Stipulate a maximum number of patients per GP to have on their register then fund practices to employ GPs The average is 2300 patients but there are far too many with 4000-5000 Make patients aware of number of FTE GPs per patient This means practices have a duty to provide GPs

Any idea how much it would cost to do a sort your life out style house clear out, friends parents have a 5 bed house and outbuildings and they want to downsize but there's a lot of sentimental stuff they want to keep

Why would you go to a pharmacy when you have been bitten by a cat- sorry if I saw a cat/dog bite I would be sending to A&E/Drs
Sports compression bandage + infection = a perfect recipe for limb gangrene/ necrotising fasciitis.

One thing with trumps tariffs, it's going to cost patients more in USA for medication, IE imagine insulin going to add 25% to the bill

Watching #24hoursinpolicecustody , the solicitors comments are so inappropriate about drug dealers, basically saying they are good business men as they pay my wages , if I said that as a pharmacist, guaranteed GPHC would be calling me in for a talk

On train back from London to Cardiff today someone left an unpublished story/diary on the seat, it's a fascinating read. Do I hand it in to lost property at Cardiff or hope someone reaches out re it

Why can't they switch these PAs for clinical fellows etc , as wages will be similar
🆘 Dear @NHSHEE_SEast , Now I cannot unsee this presentation! This Emergency Medicine Consultant is convinced that Physician Assistants will be able to work at the level of Registrar and Consultant in A+E 💀☠️☠️. ⭕️ PAs don’t know anything about paediatrics/Obs+Gynae. How

Had a pharmacy student with me today- they asked a question that I couldn't answer- why do non clinical staff not have to follow infection control measures on the ward

Wonder if it's put on the chart and a pharmacist has screened it and asked a Dr to sign it as unsigned and the F1/F2 has signed it
🏴☠️ Hi @UCLan , The audacity of your Physician Assistant student to moan about not being able to “prescribe”. This sheila is wondering how her PA colleagues have been “riding it out all these years without prescribing rights”. ⭕️I’m gonna tell you how. They’ve been illegally
