I am fed up of GP bashing. I am an Emergency Medicine doc and I see many patients sent in by GPs whose lives are saved by that action. I am starting a campaign. Let's all name and publicly thank and praise the last GP who did something for us. #GPHeroes
@DrHollysMum As an ED Reg in a busy rural ED, the GPs (now GP colleagues) referrals were amazing, their implicit knowledge of their patients overwhelmed me & taught me so much about the value of GPs continuity of care NB way to increase GP value among medics is to have more UG GP placements
@DrHollysMum Thank you so much for this, it really is appreciated
@DrHollysMum Thank you Dr Powell. Really appreciate this tweet. We all need to work together, demand NHSE and Govt fund us better. Absolutely no point in one system blaming another or giving into the concerted campaign led by some in the media to bash GPs. If #Primarycare fails, #NHS fails.
@DrHollysMum This is my son—he’s been writing to nurses, drs, physios, Anaesthetists, receptionists, staff & other NHS staff to show appreciation for what they do & thank them for their work during the pandemic. He has written to a few GPs & is happy to do more. Just DM name & where to send.
@DrHollysMum I'm going to add my thanks and admiration of our AE colleagues who are frontline, refusing no one and saving lives every day. Thank you
