Many have warned of this. A slow grind deterioration of standards may lead to easier headlines but worsened patient care. Politicians of all stripes need to put patients not media startegy first
As ever a must read from @ShaunLintern
#NHS #NHSCrisis
The Govt will announce plans to scrap the 2 week urgent cancer wait time and nine other cancer targets on Thurs in favour of 3 new targets the NHS believes will lead to faster diagnosis and treatment: thetimes.co.uk/article/8b06c…
On #OverseasNHSWorkersDay fixing these visa issues is a simple way for the govt to help the #NHSCrisis and make these doctors lives easier
There simply isnt a downside so why is it so hard to fix?
When politicians are talking about #NHS, unless they talk about realistically:
•Recruitment
•Retention
•Social Care
•Resources
Then all they are doing is talking hot air. Thought-through policies, not repeatedly debunked arguments are needed

The problems the #NHS is facing are affecting patients & staff alike. It’s not a sustainable situation. We need to acknowledge the issues & have honest conversations to deal with them
We are not seeing that right now

Any #NHS plan that does not include a realistic and credible plan on:
•RETENTION
•RECRUITMENT
•RESOURCES
•SOCIAL CARE
is a waste of time

Dear Penny Mordaunt, we at the Doctor’s Association UK are keen to do the best for our patients
We would love to meet to hear about these innovations
If this is a mistake, true leadership is to acknowledge an error

The #NHS in 2022:
TLDR - stop talking about Netflix, start talking about how to get more staff!

Hospitals & #GPs are being subject to abuse after 18months of hell. The targeting of #NHS workers by sections of the media is the spark that leads to this flame
Failure to condemn by those in authority gives this abuse permission to happen
Silence is permission
