This! We did watch occasional programmes on ITV, but only after much soul-searching from my father, who feared it was rather infra dig!

Dr Becky Haines I think the reality is that, as Heather Ryan will testify, that's what it costs to run a GP surgery when you account for staff and buildings etc.

The RCGP Members' Lounge at 30 Euston Square has just been moved to the ground floor - there is now an infant feeding room, with a fridge for expressed breastmilk; a prayer space; & soundproofed pods for private meetings. So glad College is becoming a more welcoming environment.

Here’s to every woman who silenced a dinner party, was bitched about in group chats, risked her job, fell out with friends and was hounded on social media for saying what we all now know to be true. #CassReview 👊

Wow. #CassReview

The 'toxic, ideological and polarised public debate ... does nothing to serve the children'

I hope every single clinician who criticised those asking for evidence reads this report. The personal abuse/defamation has hurt. But healthcare leaders failing to listen when asked whether the evidence based thing is being done has hurt many, many more.

Physician associate students in their first term are running their own GP clinics.

They are literally learning everything on the job.

This 'GP placement' also apparently didn't involve sitting in with any actual GPs.

I really enjoy Dr Ryan’s openness. I got big respect for her when she published all her CoIs a couple months back. We need more medical leaders to follow her example

I have been chasing up the RCGP PA consultation (which will be out v soon),& have been doing my best to represent members' views on what should be in said consultation. Please know I am doing my best to represent you behind the scenes, even if I can't always discuss it publicly.

The clinician in me is very troubled by this.

I’ve been learning and then practicing medicine for almost 7 years now. I think I’m actually pretty okay as far as foundation doctors go. But I’ve been working in A&E for 2 days now and seeing undifferentiated patients has thrown me.

How are PAs doing this safely?

Could we have a National Covid Clean-Up Day, where we all take 10 minutes to make an effort to remove all the signs and visual clutter that was thrown up in haste in those dark days?

Feeling very old since I discovered that the vice-chair of the Conservative Party's 1922 Committee is younger than me (he's 36) 🤡

Tremendously proud to report that one of my children (aged 4 and 5) managed to buy a phone and text me. Given that my eldest said he wanted 'cayk' yesterday, I'm impressed by his rapid development!

Yes. Many of us saw the issues and never employed those unable to independently complete an episode of care.

Surprised to see losartan topping this list.

When starting an ARB, losartan is the last option I'd go with, for one simple reason.

It's 8pm on a Bank Holiday & I have just finished writing an email giving feedback on the RCGP motion submission & appeals process. I seem to be rapidly developing an interest in organisational governance. Finally, my pedantry & obsessive rule-following are being put to good use!

I’m afraid I disagree. I don’t like this account much. I don’t like much of the X or even worse Reddit conduct around this issue. I have a b/g in nursing in multiple departments of nearly a decade before qualifying. MDT working & flattening hierarchy are core principles of mine.

We have reached peak GANFYD
