The evidence is that patients with their own named GP Enjoy better wellbeing Require fewer appointments per year Take fewer medicines Cost less per person So why have successive Governments undermined and destroyed this? @mgtmccartney – at Chester, England

GP practices can get behind the NIHR's 'Be Part of Research' campaign by ordering a range of assets from the NIHR website, including leaflets and posters. The campaign aims to encourage patients to sign up for relevant research studies in their area. gmpcb.org.uk/updates-from-th…

People understand if their hairdresser, nail technician, dentist or dog groomer hasn’t got capacity to see them that day. GPs don’t have endless capacity, and we can’t build any more with the inadequate funding we have been given. That’s the reality.

The conundrum of safe working limits vs relentless demand; escalating workload vs fewer GPs. Working “safely” means about 15 patients per GP per day not being seen! The answer = Invest in more GPs + look after the ones we’ve got so we can look after patients when they need us

Why GPs (and the Rest of Us) Should Set Work Limits Before Burnout Sets In…

Hands up who is in awe of the brilliant lobbying by @Feargal_Sharkey for proper stewardship of our water sources against the excesses and failures of the water industry? 🙋🏻‍♂️ Thank you! Read @RobGMacfarlane “Is a river alive” if you want to know why it is so important
