Thank you to the @FPH for the award of Honorary MFPH which is a testament to the fact that Public Health & General Practice are synergistically intertwined in reducing health inequality & improving standards of care for populations and individuals ❤️ https://t.co/5CBCfe49dj

When IT systems go down, GPs step up. With ingenuity and quick thinking, they keep services running, protect patient safety, and prevent delays in care. Business continuity isn’t just a plan—it’s a mindset. 💡💻 #PrimaryCare #PatientSafety #GPResilience

Thanks to @BBCNews for interviewing me today about GP resilience, preparedness & business continuity in the face of IT problems. Mitigating risk and minimising delay & disruption to maintain quality & standards. @rcgp @BMA_GP @RobSissons1 @NottsLMC @NHSEngland @bbcemt

Thank you to The Telegraph for inviting me to contribute to this article: 📰 ‘More GP appointments and better dentists? Doctors on whether the new NHS plan will really work’ @rcgp @BMA_GP 👇🏽 https://t.co/KUUPHmKigU

🎉 Happy 77th Birthday to the NHS! General Practice has been — & remains — the beating heart of the NHS: providing care, continuity & compassion in every community. 💙 Here’s to GPs & teams who keep the NHS promise alive daily #NHS77 #GeneralPractice #PrimaryCare @rcgp @BMA_GP

Later today @Keir_Starmer will unveil the NHS 10 Year Plan. #RebuildGP spokesperson and Nottinghamshire GP @drcartersingh writes in the @DailyMirror about why #GeneralPractice must play an essential role in the #NHS over the next decade. https://t.co/S5STiHmrUg #TeamGP

Deeply honoured to receive Honorary Membership of the @FPH. General practice & public health are natural allies—working together to tackle inequalities, promote prevention, & protect the health of our communities. Grateful to stand with such dedicated colleagues. #FPH @rcgp 🙏🏽❤️

#BMAARM25 The @TheBMA have announced the BMA's NEW register for all doctors. A bold first step perhaps in the formation of a new regulator? Link to sign up 👇🏽 https://t.co/QTR76SoIh3… #BMAARM25

NHS IT failures aren't just frustrating—they're heartbreaking. Every crash, every frozen screen means lost time, missed care, & exhausted GPs. We’re trying to deliver 21st-century healthcare on systems stuck in the past. Patients & doctors deserve better 💻 #NHSIT #ARM2025 #BMA

Today MPs vote on the Assisted Dying Bill—a deeply sensitive issue. ⚖️ For: dignity, choice, relief from suffering ⚠️ Against: risks to the vulnerable, ethical concerns, worsening health inequality 🚫 If passed—this won’t be part of general practice. #AssistedDyingBill @rcgp

🌿 This #CleanAirDay, let’s not forget the vital role of general practice. From promoting active travel to reducing unnecessary prescriptions, GPs are on the front line of protecting both our health and our air. Clean air starts in the community. 💚 @rcgp @BMA_GP #AirPollution

🚫 GPs no longer need to perform a rectal exam (DRE) 👆 for prostate cancer if PSA is raised — it's outdated & adds little value. PSA → referral (MRI) is now the preferred path. DRE may still be used if PSA is normal but suspicion remains. #ProstateCancer @ProstateUK @rcgp

GPs are stretched to breaking point 🥹expected to deliver top care with minimal resources in a crumbling system 💣 Media blame & political neglect are eroding trust. Patients & GPs must unite to raise awareness and rebuild the vital bond we once shared ✊🏽 @BMA_GP @Parody_RCGP

As a GP I know that black men in the UK face double the risk of prostate cancer but are less likely to be diagnosed early. Prostate Cancer UK is tackling this with mobile clinics, targeted campaigns, & screening trials to close the gap ✊🏽#ProstateCancer #HealthEquity @ProstateUK

Digital transformation isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity to future-proof general practice. Let’s stop patching the system and build one that works. 3/3 #GPIT #NHSdigital #FutureOfPrimaryCare #HealthTech #InvestInGPs @BMA_GP @rcgp

✅ Modern, cloud-based clinical systems ✅ Unified digital platforms that integrate records, referrals & comms ✅ Reliable broadband & hardware ✅ Real-time data to support clinical decision-making ✅ National investment in digital infrastructure — not just pilots 2/3

👩‍⚕️ A GP shouldn’t need 10 clicks to send a prescription or spend 40 minutes toggling between systems that don’t talk to each other. If we want general practice to be efficient, accessible, and sustainable, we need:👇🏽 1/3

General practice handles >300M appointments/year, keeping the UK healthy & productive. Yet it receives just ~5.6% of the NHS budget, despite its impact on GDP through ⬇️ sick days & hospital demand. 📈 Investment in core GPs is investment in the economy @wesstreeting @BMA_GP
