The chair of our Health Focus Group Peter Duffy supported by vice chair Dr💙Ravi had a busy day yesterday discussing firstly with Sky News describing why whistleblowing in the #NHS is futile & risky for staff and patients, later joined by Steve Turner - 💚💙 for APPG for Whistleblowing

I've been contacted by a whistleblower researcher for information. This is specifically in respect of doctors who have tragically taken their own lives after NHS whistleblowing. We are all aware of GMC investigations & suicide, & indeed suicide in the PO prosecution scandal. 1.

Given the current climate of #TeamGP such level of support around CQC Brasil is necessary - thank you to NHS Birmingham and Solihull for once again for being pioneers in the work you do to support practices

Valuable advice to IMGs:
Learn about the system
make sure that you have colleagues or seniors who can guide you
Don’t be taken for granted
Be polite & confident about your ability & worth
Reach out and ask
Above all, never forget your own value: you’re here on your merit

Our Medical Director Dr Ammar Darwish has returned from a surgical mission in #Gaza .

Despite 45 missions in #conflict zones worldwide, Gaza is the toughest mission he has ever encountered.

His story 💙: lght.ly/3afnb6l

GPs we are looking at our discharge summaries. I know what you don’t want (“GP to kindly” will be banned) but what would be helpful? Often long admissions with complicated treatment.

And we need to remember to look for and identify those leadership qualities in people who don’t look like us
So us old white men need to make sure we don’t just tap the shoulders of younger white men
