**BREAKING** - GP pushback part 2
Here’s a letter General Practice has sent to the leaders of each of the 42 ICBs across England advising them to add our imminent action & crisis to their risk registers. If we revert to core general practice care it will have a huge impact on the system

Mental health services breaking down under pressure lowdownnhs.info/mental-health/…

In my role I speak to GPs up & down the country. They all now say ‘enough is enough’. We are witnessing the constructive dismissal of NHS Gen Practice by this govt. We General Practice wrote to NHS England & govt to say we’re in dispute. There’s more to come from GPs. Watch this space…

If you do one thing tonight please watch this

It will break your heart but it shows just how vital mental health support for NHS staff really is

Huge thanks to Frontline19 for helping 9,000 of us each week

It is so easy in the NHS to feel hopeless, helpless, impotent, small.

You are not.

No-one can take away your voice without your consent.

Use it. Speak up. Speak out.

Together we can make waves, force change, demand better from NHS leaders who talk kindness & deliver cruelty.

Delighted to see a bad decision postponed. Better still would be to drop it altogether.
We still need to press NHSE to answer questions. Where did the closure plan come from, what is it based on, who decided it, in what meeting – where are the minutes? Why the secrecy? 1/2

If ever you needed conclusive proof of the contempt NHSE hold their staff in, this is it. First they cut half of the mental health hubs, now this

The answer - 'access employers health & wellbeing schemes' aka do more yoga at work. This is no solution to serious mental ill health

Dear 🇬🇧,

I can't stop thinking about my employer caring so little about suicidal doctors that it's chosen to cut the 0.007% of its budget it spends on the mental health service that helps keep them alive.

Thanks, @nhsengland.

And they wonder why doctors are leaving in droves.

In Private Eye Magazine, I write about the side effects of allowing the private sector to cherry pick up to 75% of the cataracts in some areas, taking staff with them & leaving the NHS with less money to treat more complex patients. Plus advise for whistleblowers from Peter Duffy.
