NHS Tayside Finest ❤️

My GP partner for almost twenty years, an incredibly dedicated doctor who stepped up to take on roles that nobody could have done but her.
And her patients at the practice still miss her ❤️

Workplace flexibility is everybody’s business and is possible. Especially now there are so many parents in senior positions. It makes so much sense. Flexible timetables and WFH policies are necessary everywhere.

Affordable childcare with extended opening hours, equitable access to child benefits, and better flexible working policies would help all doctors in their home lives

Horrifying stat from Reddit - on the SNP's new tax bands, if you went to Uni in England and then get a job in Scotland earning over £100,000, your marginal top rate of tax is 78.5%

For postgrads that goes up to 84.5%

📰 Today's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Times reflecting our concerns on the impact the budget tax changes may have on senior doctors - already hit by years of pay erosion and punitive pension taxation.

Dr Iain Kennedy 🗣️'this measure may push more of these doctors out of the NHS, to jobs elsewhere.' 👇

Tax hikes in yesterday's Scottish budget risk forcing key workers out of NHS, says ScotTories leader Douglas Ross.

FM Humza Yousaf says it's a brave comment in a week of junior doctor strikes in NHS England and not in Scotland.

I am concerned by the drop in GP numbers.
I am VERY concerned that the government doesn’t seem to think there is a problem…

For those who don't know, this story concerns a pregnant 34 year old woman who reported a breast lump to a PA.
She was told it was likely a blocked milk duct.
There was no further action.
A few months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer 🧵

Dear GMC this individual claims to be a doctor when they do not hold a licence to practice. A breach of the Medicine Act (1983)…will you take any action or will we have to sue you to do your job to protect patients? 🤷‍♂️ legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/54/…

Did you know what Section 49 of the Medical Act 1983 says?

In summary- don't pretend to be a Doctor.

Legislation as it stands.

A doctor in a healthcare setting is someone registered with the GMC

Happy to be corrected

Thank you

Sadly the days where GP practices could reasonably be expected to meet the demands of their patients are rapidly fading - with Michael Matheson MSP making it clear that he will not be offering any help.
Practices will have to focus on what they CAN provide😢

The inheritance tax is morally wrong - it is a double tax. Every family should have the right to pass their belongings on to their children and grandchildren - that’s their possessions they have worked for and own - not the governments or anyone else’s.

Our Joint Chair Dr David Shackles spoke to The Scotsman on vacancies within NHS Scotland🏥

'People ask us why they are struggling to see their GP at the minute and that's about capacity and demand. There aren't enough GPs to fulfil the demand.'
