2/ It also continues to show that doctors (especially @BMAResidents but also @BMA_Consultants) have the worst erosion in the NHS, albet there are some green shoots of the *BEGINNING* of #PayRestoration versus CPI, the most commonly used (by government) measure of inflation

This isn’t new(s) OPEL status is regularly communicated, and I have commented on it before when there were no strikes etc Wasn’t newsworthy then, why so suddenly now….? 🤔

Merry Christmas to all those working in the NHS today Many staff in the NHS are grossly underpaid (even on Christmas day👇) but none more so than Junior Doctors who frequently graduate with >£100k debt RT to support them & ask government to pay them ALL fairly #PayRestoration

Thanks to the crew and Chief Steward on the Caledonian Isles, Janic at customer services and the staff at Brodick port for finding my mother in law's handbag with her whole life in it. You could not have been more helpful and kinder. Thank @CalMacFerries

The truth is the job of a GP, as it stands, has become unmanageable & unsustainable. (Ask any working GP). No amount of public floggings will change that. The only feasible option is to tackle demand (which has risen inexorably). telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022…
GP services are in crisis. Publishing statistics won't solve it

GP services are in crisis. Publishing statistics won't solve it

Surgeries need to be open seven days a week and it should be easier to book an in person appointment for a convenient time

Morning handover in #ED. Day team - it is beyond important to be positive, especially after the night team have had a busy, difficult shift. Think before you question - you weren’t there at 4am. Focus on the 99 positives, not the 1 negative. Smile, take over, say goodnight.

Devastating post on TGG today about a GP who has died by suicide 😢 Consent from Gail’s husband for these screenshots to be shared. The pressure NHS GPs are under is immense. It needs urgent action. What’s the plan @BMA_GP @rcgp @NHSEngland? 👀

With the temperature set to soar across the UK we are asking you all to offer some shallow bowls of water for hedgehogs and other wildlife - pop in a few pebbles to ensure insects can escape. Please share! 🎥 Paul Bunyard

**PUSHBACK FATIGUE** Have I just coined a new phrase? A result of another day of sheer frustration at not being able to do my job as well as I known I can due to a tsunami of work that should be done by other people. The system is broken. #GeneralPractice #NHS #GP #ResilientGP
