Hi @wesstreeting - about direct access to specialists, I have questions ... thread 🧵 You have a lump in the back of your head, you want to see a dermatologist. Why not a surgeon? What if the lump was in your neck. Is it a gland swelling, a lipoma, cancer? Who do you see now? 1\6

A&E is in a national crisis and this affects everyone. PLEASE read the link Demand is through the roof and resources are not there to match demand. We can’t continue like this. Journalists please cover this crisis to make it politicians’ priority. rcem.ac.uk/RCEM/News/News_20…

Now seems like a good time to remember what Nye Bevan had to say about foreigners using the NHS.

"We have a simple message for all countries: test test test. Test every suspected #COVID19 case. If they test positive, isolate them & find out who they have been in close contact with up to 2 days before they developed symptoms & test those people too"-@DrTedros #coronavirus

20x times more dead in Italy than in South Korea 9x more *tested* in SK than Italy Testing was key to prevent spread & treat sick Sharing data with public was key to winning public trust Are we so sure it is too late to implement Korean model? youtu.be/g-r79RXboXc

They sold off our water. They sold off our energy. They sold off our railways. They sold off our buses. They sold off our Royal Mail. Of course they want to sell our NHS. Wake up. #NotForSale

The film 'Armageddon' portrayed a more realistic series of events than the past two nights of Champions League football.

My word, this puts the dis into disingenuous. Your government has *created* the 10k empty doctor posts that leave juniors & seniors alike overworked, overwraught & broken by understaffing. There is zero slack in the system for leave. You could fix this. You choose not to.
This is truly heart-wrenching. Totally unacceptable for anyone to have to work under such conditions. Tackling this is critical to the culture change the NHS needs to be the best it can be

Look how empty the chamber is for a vital debate on the ditching of A&E waiting time targets. Perhaps the biggest cost of Brexit has been the opportunity cost. Public services have been left to run down while the Conservative party continues a destructive argument with itself.
After years of Tory austerity, understaffing, cuts and privatisation more patients are waiting longer in A&E and for treatment. And now they want to ditch the targets. Changes should be based on clinical consensus not Downing Street pressure.

Yesterday I went for a colonoscopy. My Mum, Helen passed away aged 40 of bowel cancer and because of her age I need to be checked regularly for any abnormalities of my bowel. To raise awareness of this monstrous disease I’m going to share my experience...

So she’s gone, "aren’t you that meme guy from Twitter?" and I’ve said "well listen babe, you can call me what you like but Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are sitting around in their pants and I'm bringing it home so is it my place or yours?"
