Replying to @OVOEnergy
@OVOEnergy not impressed with your “complete” boiler maintenance package. My 80 year old mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s has now been 24 hours without heat. No sign of an engineer. No ETA. But you billed her for the call-out fee as soon as the call went in. Not great, is it?

What do you think: could video consultations be a game-changer in clinical education? (Our BJGP editorial says yes but we’d love to hear your views either way!) @GPEG_Cambridge @PCU_Cambridge @trishgreenhalgh @jamckimm @ClinEduRes_ucam @sapcacuk @DocThomson

Video consultations: “GPs may not perceive that video consultations confer sufficient advantage for clinical care, but what about for clinical education?” @DrDarnton 📖 doi.org/10.3399/bjgp22X72050…

Video consultations: a potential gamechanger in clinical education

Newly published research by Greenhalgh et al 1 uncovers reasons why GPs rarely do video consultations. They found that when face-to-face consultations are an option, video consultations are perceived...

Up to date map from The Rivers Trust shows more sewage dumps in River Tyne than almost any other river. ⁦@NorthumbrianH2O⁩ should be ashamed. It is destructive, deplorable and a damning indictment of their lack of care & respect for our environment and beautiful River Tyne.

‘I knew my son’s heart was out there’: why the families of organ donors would love a thank you

Liz Houghton’s son was 20 when he died, and his organs were donated to 12 people. She heard from two of them, but would love to have been in touch with more. Could a new initiative help relatives...
