The headline you didn’t see yesterday
Instead it’s busy A&E overwhelmed with patients unable to get GP appts
In reality hospital A&E is seeing no more than 2019, hospital OPD only 90% activity & hospitals barely managing the 7m waiting for treatments, 1.5m for investigations

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
Stress, exhaustion and 1,000 patients a day: the life of an English GP theguardian.com/society/2022…
The moral distress is so palpable at the moment. Unthinkable and immoral that it could get worse. Well said @KamilaRCGP
Severely ill refusing sicknotes as they cannot afford time off, says GPs’ head theguardian.com/business/202…
Unsustainable, if the trajectory doesn’t change!
This is compelling case for @NHS_NELondon for the state of primary care by @CraigNikolic - GPs are providing 20.56% appointments with fewer GPs &practices a 9.39% increase of population - we need to support our teams & of course support improvement as best as we can @DrGilluley
Life-affirming.
not my usual topic.... theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…
With everything else going on the sense of decline is palpable. Of course, we need more GPs , doctors , dentists which costs money but we also need new models, increase digital utility, greater workforce flexibility and solutions to fix wider problems. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Best article on the Arora case so far!
Clearly written by someone who no longer has any fear from the GMC.
@RogueRad is my new hero!

In this feature for Pulse PCN, @THGPCareGroup's CEOs @Accuratc and @chrisjohnbanks talk us through how local PCNs make East London borough #TowerHamlets a leading light in primary care innovation pulsetoday.co.uk/special/pul…
What kind of message does this send out if neither @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak plan to isolate on the eve of FreedomDay. Role models not! I’m d/vaccinated & had to self-isolate for the last week putting extra work demands on my work colleagues doing their best to weather the storm.

Taking a breather at our Local Vaccination Centre at Queen Mary’s University London to watch the #HSJAwards where @THGPCareGroup is a finalist. Whatever the outcome we’re very proud to get to the finals. Thank you team 😃🙏
