It’s often hard to get your MP to understand specific GP problems and influence decisions
Take for example Ilford North where GP to patient ratios are some of the worst in the country and aren’t improving
2661 patients/GP up 510 since 2018
🏴 2257 patients/GP
If only the local MP had any influence

Aaron Rai has just won one of the more prestigious tournaments on the DP World Tour. Back in 2018 the BBC did an article on his rise up the golf world with focus on him being Indian. The top comments are all about him being "English"! There is no way that would be the same if it was published today
Aaron Rai: The glove-wearing British Asian taking the golf world by storm
Aaron Rai won the Hong Kong Open wearing his trademark gloves and is one of several golfers of Indian descent taking the tour by storm.

📉 Should we be prescribing metformin with antipsychotics?
Despite clear guideline support, this UK study of 26,000+ patients found metformin is rarely used to prevent weight gain from meds like olanzapine.
Why the gap?

Also the irony of a psychiatry exam causing me symptomatic performance anxiety has not been lost on me
Gotta love the impact that failing a practical post-grad medical exam has on you. Nervous before the first attempt and now increased anxiety due to added pressure of applying for ST4 jobs without knowing whether I've passed the prerequisite exam + all my mates having passed first time. Delightful!

The government getting involved a private entity's decision which is supported by local police, in order to force them to reverse it just isn't sitting right with me

Here's a bunch of bullshit that I do not believe:
Energy companies saying investing in renewable energy won't lower bills
Anything Trump says
Anything Israel claims
That out current version of capitalism works
If laws are changed that billionaires will leave a country
The NHS is dead

The irony of being contacted a couple days ago by a resident doctor colleague asking when the next strikes were. We haven't been striking since July and not since a whole new cohort of doctors have started their careers. You want us to strike even less? @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
Eagerly awaiting the day when at least one politician in power realises that striking doctors/nurses are actually fighting for the future of the NHS - not somehow trying to undermine it.
Rocket science, it is not.

Given importance of health to the voting public, it seems politically naive of Nigel Farage and Reform to have their health policy so closely tied to Dr Aseem Malhotra, whose speech today confirms his switch from once respected clinician to conspiracy theorist quack: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Doctor claims Covid jabs may be linked to cancer in royal family
Aseem Malhotra told Reform UK’s party conference that the vaccination was a ‘significant factor’ in the diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales
