Polypharmacy is one of the biggest challenges in primary care. Balancing multiple conditions, medicines, interactions and side effects is complex.
The goal isn’t simply to reduce medicines—it’s to ensure every medicine has a purpose, remains safe, and adds value. 💊

Release the geriatricians!

Just reading over the new rules on IG, as circulated in letter from Jim Mackey.
It is entirely appropriate to reiterate that patient records should be ONLY accessed for work-relate purposes. But the new rules are draconian and restrict the types of reasons doctors often do

NEW, IMPORTANT (shocking, but sadly not suprising):
Confirmation only 12 days before the SA deadline that NHSBSA are not sending any more PSS out and you are expected to "estimate and file" and "HMRC won't penalise you for filing an estimate, provided it's a genuine attempt. You can amend your return later when you have exact figures."
Pls share widely/RT

This one is for the Brizzle contingent at #BGSconf: The Bristol Algorithm for MMAE in the management of subdural haematoma. Nice to be known for something other than the Stool Scale...

I spend a disproportionate amount of (highly rewarding) time with grans, and I am incandescent. Thank you @VictoriaPeckham
Is a “gran” the lowest unit of human life. Me in @thetimes today.
Some VERY indignant Times reader grans in the comments.

We're excited to introduce our new film, ‘What a cure feels like’, celebrating our transformation to Breakthrough T1D!
The film features real people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and captures the relentless nature of living with T1D and the hundreds of extra decisions made each day.
We would like to say a special thank you to @tara_humphrey and her daughter Tahlia, @LisWarren, @joem_ and his partner Salman and @Jonpeach5 who shared their experiences and worked alongside us to create this film.
Together, let's raise awareness and inspire hope for a future without T1D💙
