A retired GP tells a story about how he went to help an American couple involved in serious accident.

The 1st thing the woman asked is 'How much will it cost?'

“Forget about the fucking money, we’re here to help you.”

People before profit. Always.

& this is where it gets really interesting…

“All work undertaken by PAs must be supervised & debriefed w/ their supervising GP.”

❗️ALL WORK ie EVERY PATIENT CONSULTATION❗️

Which makes PA’s role in 1° care extremely costly & takes GPs away from seeing patients themselves.

V interesting 🧵from Aussie GP. Similar patterns emerging there.

Private medicine & Pharma gain much from diminishing the GP (gatekeeper) who prescribes & refers only that which is necessary

Something to think about Wes Streeting MP Preet Kaur Gill MP
Andrea Leadsom MP Victoria Atkins?

How can this be right? NHSE Board is full of bankers and people with a secondary care background. No patient rep, no primary care rep, no social scientist, no anthropologist etc etc. Leadership body for most expensive public service deserves much much more balance.

💥6,000,000 more patients

⏰ Time to call out the constructive dismissal of England general practice
