It's so frustrating to watch inefficiency get funded without outcome measures

Come on @DanielAndrewsMP @timpallas do the same in Victoria, do you really want to make Primary Care which is the most efficient part of our health system more expensive for patients? @RACGPPresident

It's important to remember that vaccinating children is a more complex job, compared to adults. Children require extra time and care, as well as space because their parents come with them. So GPs need more support, including adequate funding, to get the job done #CovidVaccine

Q. What is the most dangerous drug to prescribe an elderly patient? A. The 5th one! Poly pharmacy leads to falls, cognitive impairment, hospitalization and increased mortality. Think about what you’re doing. De prescribing can be lifesaving. It is so satisfying to do.

Been thinking about the Moral Determinants of Health listed by @donberwick yesterday and how we might get there. #PsychologicalSafety might be a good place to start. We need to have transparency to build trust.

Love this - Thinking in Systems drawn so beautifully by @crabtree_amelia - good to see how I work highlighting the boundaries and trying to influence across @NSWHealth
I've re-read Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows. I don't think you can read this enough if you are trying to understand things. Everything is connected, we just need to work out where to draw the boundaries when trying to influence systems behaviour.

Backbone of the rollout For sure! Backbone of the health system too The Diagnostic & General Clinicians Seeing everything & anything; managing most, coordinating all. That’s general practice together with primary care the best evidenced health system for outcomes & economics

This is a view from the trenches. Thank you Dr Warby for being there for your patients. I’m sorry you were not better supported throughout this pandemic.
1/5 how to be a GP in a pandemic; a thread . 1. recognise there is a dangerous bug that could kill you, your family and your patients. Pivot rapidly to Telehealth and be forced to bulk bill #telehealth #covid19 #auspol #GetVaccinatedNow

GPs - the rarely acknowledged and unspoken backbone of our health system at the best of times, and some of our pandemic responses. Read and weep 👇🏽

6/ And don’t forget in the mess and confusion of the initial rollout - the majority of GPs were not considered “frontline” workers , even though everyday they were seeing pts with potential symptoms of Covid. Everyday we woke to some new govt announcement we had to refute
