To my GP colleague who sent a dad (who should be self isolating cos his child is unwell) to my pcy to collect a prescription, think before you tell people casually to go to the pcy. PLEASE tell them to send a friend/neighbour/relative. You didn’t see them physically, why must I?

This is a good editorial by @drpaulmorgan in @bmj_latest.
So many people have written passionately on the subject, but this is one of the most balanced pieces that I’ve seen.
Sepsis IS important to look for, but equally not everyone with signs of infection needs SEPSIS6 bundle.
