For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

@peteneville65 Peter perhaps another factor at the root of the NHS crisis is it’s considerable success over the last 30 yrs

@peteneville65 @doctimcook I pressed ❤️ not because I'll only read a limited number of tweets but because I find that folk mostly won't even read tweet 2/2. (I don't tweet on such life & death matters.) Your 🧵 so clear, so obviously true, so depressing. Thank you for this and for all you do.

@peteneville65 @doctimcook I was once told by a manager .. at one of those feed back meetings between staff and senior management- where they do all the talking - .. “we don’t want you (lot) to work harder, just smarter “ .. I was militant before that meeting..

@peteneville65 @doctimcook Thank you for the thread and for what you do in such difficult circumstances...

@peteneville65 @doctimcook Keep going! You are saying it perfectly! And thank you for your tweets & your commitment to the health, of all your patients & our NHS. You are a true everything the NHS was set up to be. ❤️ Thank you for everything you gave during the pandemic, & your colleagues too 😇

@peteneville65 @doctimcook Another obvious point, none of this is accidental, the consequences of these political decision was not unforseen.

@peteneville65 @doctimcook I read them all a year later 👍
