No slight to the pharmacists involved, but I cannot refer patients to a scheme that permits antibiotics to be prescribed for 6 of the 7 conditions without the patient being seen. This scheme could have worked, but what has been rolled out is poor. theguardian.com/society/articl…
Time for LMCs in the relevant areas to work with GPs and patient groups and kill this nonsense before it takes off...

Prediction: this will work initially where funded and staffed, in a pilot area. It will then be rolled out with less enthusiasm, staff and funding, elsewhere. It will fail in such areas and be quietly forgotten. I hope I'm wrong.

Leaving online tools on until 18:30 irrespective of demand/capacity was NOT raised during discussions. We are challenging this. Note, I might not decide to sign this until eg 28 March 2025. By which time we shall have a new govt. And you’ll still get your funding.
Hilarious - Trusts got paid a fortune for this service, and now GPs are expected to add it to the bucket for precisely 0% of funding for doing the same high-risk work, for more patients. Hard no.

I'll get in early here and state that, as an elected rep of NE GPs, I oppose same-day hubs as they are a terrible idea seemingly supported mostly by GPs bought and paid for by NHSE. GMC me for it.

Utter madness. Your role, @gmcuk, was to assess her fitness to practise. Is she a danger to patients? No. Meanwhile, you ignore the grave safety concerns of 1000s of doctors over PAs. Increasingly - & deeply ironically - the danger to patients looks like it’s coming from you 🤷♀️

I have looked at this job plan And I am sorry - but the leadership @NHSE_WTE @PrimaryCareNHS have lost control over issues around competence in the zeal to tackle GP ‘gaps’/ locums Please stop ‘Associate Physician’ This is not a typo It’s deception @rcgp start calling it out
Today the BMA's GP committee in England has entered into dispute with NHS England over the 2024/25 GP contract. @doctor_katie has written to NHS England stating her commitment to finding "mutually acceptable solutions to this dispute to benefit patients and practices". [1/2]
GPs: in dispute. @NHSEngland, FAFO. You've denigrated us so much even moderate GPs realise you hate us. @BMA_GP
In 2014 life dealt me an out of the blue, terrifying, life-changing experience. It shattered me into pieces. My reaction to it was grossly misunderstood by my peers, and by colleagues I had previously trusted too. I lost my health, via major surgery, and then my job 1/11

@STEVECHEMIST @HeedDoc @AuralApothecary Yes. Interesting. Thanks Steve. Of course, this includes RADT which is not in the NHSE scheme. To me there are unanswered questions though. Mainly, given that sore throat is a self limiting condition, does this kind of thing reduce self-care and drive people towards seeking test?
@keester76 @HeedDoc Most people with a sore throat can be triaged as not needing antibiotics on the basis of a history. Anyone who I think might need them gets seen face to face. Might treat impetigo with a good picture but a 3D view is much better.
@shapeurthinking @HeedDoc @PharmRJ @ComPharmEngland I can't remember ever giving antibiotics for sore throat without seeing face to face. Can't guarantee that it didn't happen once or twice in march/April 2020 but otherwise never.
One of those days where you get some news that completely stops you in your tracks… puts it all a bit in perspective.
Every time I see that photo a little of me dies. I tried really hard. But I should have tried harder. I should have shouted louder. I should have done so much more. And here we are with my colleagues out of jobs. I am so sorry. That’s all I have left.
@parthaskar @gold103x @Tuttlebees @mancunianmedic @medicalmodelbri @GrumpyOldDoc @EmergMedDr @rcgp They thought this was nothing They thought it would go away So much so that in response to concerns being raised months ago, they took goading photo ops with PA Locum companies Overconfident & paternalistic "we know best" attitude They were wrong
@timricketts_ @HeedDoc We need to remember that GP practices have had three consecutive contracts imposed on them. We don't get any bailout centrally, we run out of funding then we shut basically.
I’m a trained GP, but I can’t get a job : the absurd new crisis #NHS This isn’t how ARRS was intended, Billy Palmer, Nuffield Trust It should not come at the expense of qualified GPs NHSE commissioners of GP services need to check this being upheld inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
@sfinnikin @HeedDoc Any use Sam? As discussed on @AuralApothecary obvs 😉 academic.oup.com/jac/article/78…
@pharmthorrun @Emmajourno @HeedDoc Just stating my experience as a GP, and many others
@HeedDoc Yeah probably. So why has the specialty let PAs, nurse practitioners, paramedics etc see undifferentiated patients?
@timricketts_ @HeedDoc The actual grass root GPs- Partners & Salaried roles- r too busy doing day to day clinical work 6-8 sessions/ week over long days. They r not the ones signing off this charges. It’s those who want to do less clinical work but also want to keep the wage bill down
@timricketts_ @HeedDoc GPs r not a uniform bunch There r some GPs who work very little clinically after first few yers.They would still have full time partnership share but do only 2or3 clinical sessions spending rest of time in ICB/PCN roles,some on training It’s cheaper for them to recruit non-Drs 🙄
@timricketts_ @HeedDoc 1. Leadership has been complacent / colluding 2. Jobbing GP too busy to rebut 3. Partners worried about press more than profession. 4. BMA was still satisfied with their 2004 negotiations & sleeping 5. RCGP was used by some as a launchpad for personal ambitions
It’s always been a political choice made by Tories To save rich more money (more bonuses, more tax cuts) while taking away British basic rights including healthcare
Budget constraints means permanent clinical staff may not be recruited to despite 110,000 vacancies in the #NHS . theguardian.com/society/articl…
GPs out of work. There are fewer GP opportunities in the NHS - despite of a shortage of GPs 🤯 GPs in work are expected to supervise and shoulder the liability for those being used to replace GPs 😳 They think anyone can do our jobs 🤦♂️ They are dangerously wrong. #BackGPs
Thank you for all your hard work - research is essential to improving our future care
Happy International day of the midwife 2024 to our research Midwives @ResearchRachael and @ChristineMC212 who are committed to help improve care for women through research @Gateshead_NHS #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife
Need some advice for ALS for our JDF. Trust won’t pay for F1/F2/GPST1 to have ALS. Context; no MET team. Cardiac arrest team is: on call SHO, reg, F1, a CCOT nurse and I think anaesthetist. SHO/reg based in A&E. Not unheard of to have multiple peri-arrest/very unwell PTs…
@DrEilidhMaria Before I started F1 at @LivHospitals in 2011, they arranged ALS for all new F1s as part of our induction. Scary to infer that patients at @MWLNHS may be getting poor care as a result of this short-sighted decision - makes me nervous about sending patients there, frankly.
@msteggy The amount of patients I have where knowing them well is the difference between reassurance, and, “call and ambulance nooooooow!!”. You won't have any of this in centres like this. Just give that funding to local practices and get the benefit of continuity.
‘Same-day Hubs’ - a bit like your GP practice but with fewer GPs, a team you don’t know and probably further way than your practice. Totally unnecessary & inefficient if your practice had better funding & more GPs. They could invest in your local practice instead. #BackGPs
GP - the recognised front door to the NHS. Rather than ensure resources are there to meet patient’s needs, the plan is to fragment & divert people away from their GP. Introducing inefficiencies & being bounced between more unnavigable services is the plan. #BackGPs
