My mother’s nursing home tells me not only do they have no Covid-19 - they currently have no patients with URTIs or UTIs They are wondering if this is a reflection of how well they are washing their hands these days. Discuss!

You were absolutely correct - have had a response from @johnlewis but still nothing from @jlpartnership who seem to be obsessed with an imaginary dragon ☹️

And just for context here’s what I wanted to complain about - yes that’s a barely 9cm mount marked at 10 by 10cm (ignoring the fact that 4 inches is nearer 11 cm)

Ernest White, vice captain of @SaintsRugby died of influenza 101 years ago today. He was awarded the Military Cross in July 1918 for putting out a fire at an ammunition dump. Pictured here (far right) with Edgar Mobbs & Percy Fussell. All three would die in the First World War.

How can anyone have experience of everything? Extrapolating this means a GP would need to be infertile, a parent, struggling with elderly parents while being an orphan etc, etc. Empathy is the key - understanding does not equal personal experience!

We now have 1697 new GPs ready to join the workforce!! In June-July, the College reviewed the training for 1697 trainees & made recommendations to the GMC for them to receive their CCT. Great news! @HelenRCGP

Although I am a great believer in the old saying “ the harder I work the luckier I get”. Great talk @LeicsRCGP by @kamleshkhunti some years ago on Karma - there’s a man who recognised the role of luck and chance in life

RCGPCouncil member: lifting of Tier 2 visa cap for overseas doctors is great example of different organisations working & lobbying together for change - next step to make it easier for GP practices to sponsor overseas doctors to work in UK general practice

#RCGPCouncil member urges members to get involved in upcoming Marx review re gross negligent manslaughter - it will be wide-ranging looking at impact of complaints on doctors' health/wellbeing, & over-representation of complaints against overseas doctors

Thanks to all my friends and colleagues from HEE who have been such a wonderful bunch of people to work with. I know it doesn’t always seem that way to trainees but we really are trying to do our best.
