GP friends. I think ALL surgeries should have a simple policy on supporting access for #ActuallyAutistic adults and children (& familes) to their doctor. Anyone want to work on it? (I'll help!)

Ah, the hallowed halls of X. I've only popped on here to mention BMA council elections
I'm standing & my priorities are
⭐️Gender Pay gap
⭐️representing the South West &
⭐️neurodivergent doctors in the BMA
aiming to improve our working lives
Well. It turns out a LOT of people I like have upped and flown off.
I think I might too. Pop over and say hello…
You’d think that setting off fireworks next to the M5 in Somerset might be considered an unwise thing? 🤷🏼♀️
Important NIC clarification for GP
I’m being asked - do we count as public sector?
Yes we do:
NHS GP Practices are defined as “Public Sector Authorities” in Schedule 1, Part III, Paras 44 & 45 of the 2000 Freedom of Information Act

Fascinating, if correct. Health and pensions are top two in terms of government spending…
Voters do not know / significantly misperceive state spending. This should worry every policy maker.
Some quick excel work I’ve done pulling data from @TheIFS and other sources for 2023.

Today we launch GPCE's vision 'Patient First', which details the essential changes Government needs to make to save general practice in England and benefit our patients and long-term public health. bma.org.uk/GPvision
11p a day more per patient is just one of the changes👇

When you run to make the coach and get it, but realise you’ve put the toblerone in the storage under the bus.
From a public health perspective this is just ridiculous.
Teaching children to look after their health and recover from illness should be a core life skill that schools are teaching, not some bizarre presenteeism ideology
Ah the joy of teenage son telling us over dinner how today, apropos of nothing, & to bemusement of staff, his class decided to set a trend and all walk in a single file row in the playground during break, like a weird Monty python flash dance
During the OFSTED inspection visit🙃
Most scientific types look at the world and think “can’t have endless growth; that’s just not a thing” but haven’t got a way to say it, coz they’re just experts and what do we really know anyway?
How wonderfully strange to be starting a new teaching role at my old medical school. @PlymUniMedicine
Haven’t been to the main building for so long; fantastic to be there, but haunted by friendly ghosts 💔
This is massively dangerous. People need time to recuperate from illness; adults and children alike. Forcing people to work or study when sick is folly, especially when they risk making others ill.
As for “proof”, what would that be?

When asking GPS not to work to rule what are you asking is for people to work for free for the good of the NHS.
Enforced voluntary work.
Gps are tired of this as the asks get increasingly wild and ridiculous.

New school uniform, state school: just spent £211 on very basic compulsory items - blazer was £70. Skirts are a special tartan…
How is this sensible, let alone affordable? 🤯
I’m planning on getting a heated gilet thingy for my wonky joints. Any good ones that look nice and heat the lower back?
This comment wins the internet today and made me actually lol.
Scroll back to the initial tweet too; it’s superb 💕

Reading the comments many refer to this “just being London” which either suggests it’s mostly bots, or the far right doesn’t do geography.
This might explain quite a lot, either way.
