My goodness this is worth a read, folks on #GPTwitter (laggard hashtag, natch)… 👀

Interesting see things on other side as a patient today @uclh getting outpatient bloods - hard to navigate to find where to go- touch screen only way to check in, tiny screen, hard to read, unresponsive at times, took ages to do. Patient centred design of services so important

Classic £ baiting & GP bashing headlines Deliberate distractions to drive wedge between patients & their GPs Look at the data 🧐 🔎>20% GP Partners earn <£100k 🔎Nrly all salaried GPs earn <£100k 🔎GP Partners don’t get expenses 🔎Self-employed hrs worked aren’t hrs paid

GPs are being threatened if they don’t reply to an online message within a few hrs. However if we diagnose lung cancer, patients wait over 2 months. Where are your priorities ⁦@NHSEngland⁩ ⁦@DHSCgovuk⁩ - all patients deserve better but this new attack on GPs is wrong

31 October 1973. 1st episode of the 26-part classic ITV documentary series World at War was broadcast. It was narrated by Laurence Olivier with music by Carl Davies. It cost £900,000 (worth £11 million today).

Government told DDRB to give GPs another real terms 1.5% pay cut next year No better than the Tories & intent on taking away the Family Doctor Well done @wesstreeting @SKinnock 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We're kicking off day 2 of the Academy Member Conference by talking about the incredible impact the NIHR Academy has had: 💫13 million patients benefited from Academy funded awards 💫£285 million cost savings to the NHS 💫90% of members still in active research roles 5 years

Huge congratulations to our former Chair and President Clare Gerada on becoming a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords. A lifelong College member and now a Baroness – but first and foremost a grassroots GP who continues to deliver exceptional care to your patients and to fight

#nihramc25 Great to have @DrAmirKhanGP talk about his experience in community & population health & as a local GP @NIHRresearch

The inevitable rise in waiting lists to see a GP - primarily due to lack of funding and increased patients per GP to 2300-2500 ⁦@thetimes⁩ https://t.co/5r83eJvIiM

Great to be @NIHRresearch #nihramc25 here was my question around crisis GP #primarycare & link to @bmj_latest study showing huge GP workforce crisis 2300-2500 patients/GP https://t.co/1iA2FDcz39 can we ask @wesstreeting @SKinnock @NHSEngland for urgent help @rcgp @BMA_GP

📢 | Write to your MP to tell them: "If general practice fails, the NHS fails. Don’t let this happen on your watch." #gpcrisis #rebuildgeneralpractice #whycantiseemygp https://t.co/yJgAeiNVrq

The British public is absolutely right, the biggest problem in GP practices is there are not enough doctors. But here’s the scandal: thousands of doctors are unemployed or underemployed. Doctors are ready to work but there is a lack of political will to solve the problem.

It’s all change at the RCGP. @VictoriaTzB has been elected as the next Chair of Council (2025–2028). She’s the first International Medical Graduate to take on this role and brings 20+ years of frontline GP experience. Her focus? Collaboration, innovation and finding joy in

There are shortages of GPs because NHS England has failed to fund GP practices to retain, employ or increase their capacity A cut in funding by 20% £/patient in the last 10yr & investing in other roles instead, we now have unemployed GPs who are unable to get work @wesstreeting

Ok Lets talk Covid vaccine. I am a Type 1 diabetic (37 or so yrs and counting) I'm also a front line healthcare professional. Is it not a bit weird that we don't get a covid jab this year? Someone might want to consider an FOI request to determine how thos decision was made..

Important work @LuisaPTG & colleagues. We have lost more GPs, 2300 pts/GP, whilst hospital consultant numbers have doubled with 1000pts/consultant. Truly we continue to have a national hospital service & urgent help to GPs needed @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting @SKinnock @BMA_GP @rcgp

New Research: Trends in the shortfall of English NHS general practice doctors. The number of NHS patients for each full time equivalent GP in NHS general practice was twice that of full time equivalent NHS consultants by the end of 2024 @LuisaPTG https://t.co/WKC52Y5iWL
