If you or your family are ever frustrated by the 8am queue, or longstanding inability to see a GP, they know. This was in fact the plan. Govt are knowingly starving primary care of funding, and very specifically of funding to pay for GPs to see you. They don't care.
🚨 NHS England director ADMITS there are NO jobs in the NHS for GPs completing training🚨 The government’s strategic plan to destroy primary care is working: ❌ >£660,000,000 funding to GP practices has been cut in the last 5 yrs ❌ The funding given (to help practices address the GP shortage) permits practices to employ almost ANY other role who are NOT a GP?! All of this….yet RADIO SILENCE from the RCGP!

Dear @michelledonelan - As Science Minister, I think you owe the UK science community an apology for this nasty propaganda which undermines the community you are charged with representing. RT if you agree...

Today Baroness Cumberlege will propose an amendment to the #HealthAndCareBill, that would make it a legal requirement for the government to publish regular, independent assessments of the numbers of staff the NHS & social care system needs now & in future. #StrengthInNumbers

Let's celebrate Women in science day. Look no further than @LabMedicineMFT to appreciate the significant contribution to our profession. Lab Med has a workforce profile of 65% female. If you look at DLM senior leaders 69% female. Let's hear it for Women in science🏆

Matthew Parris tells it like is. “There’s a big yellow streak running through the Conservative party. They know what Johnson is, they know where he’s taking them & they see their descent into national infamy.” #JohnsonOut5

Please RT if you would like me to consider standing against @Jacob_Rees_Mogg again, as an independent for one term only. As before, I would step aside if a better unity candidate emerges, or if @UKLabour & @LibDems decide to fight each other & I would only further split the vote.

Doctors who work part-time are facing unacceptable scorn, and double standards, in the media. Today the BMA's network of elected women has written an open letter to the @Telegraph to set the record straight

It's Day 15 of Richard Ratcliffe's hunger strike. After today, he is likely to sustain irreversible damage. There is only one story that matters today. Only one tweet. Only one hashtag. And that's #FreeNazanin And tag @trussliz @BorisJohnson They WILL hear Richard's voice.
