Doctors who had contracted #Covid after working without PPE in the pandemic and have developed #LongCovid are still denied justice and support. And doctors are *still* working without PPE in the #NHS, they are still catching Covid, developing LC.

We continue to fight for people who got sick at work during a pandemic.
#longcovid has not gone away.

Health and care workers worked tirelessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to care for their patients, yet many were not adequately protected.

GPs are being threatened by government if they don’t reply to an online message within a few hrs. However if we diagnose lung cancer, patients wait over 2 months. Where are your priorities @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk - all patients deserve better but this new attack on GPs is plain wrong

Patients want access to GPs yet there are unemployed GPs
£1.7bn to ARRS additional roles ~ 5m appts/month
£600m for Pharmacy First to reduce demand on GPs ~ 500k/month
Yet just £80m for ARRS GPs & core GP funding 20% less ccd 2015
Half the cost £1.15bn = 11k GPs & more appts
Both are possible⚖️

4,200 newly trained GPs just graduated from training – yet many can’t find work.
The Government needs to fix the GP unemployment crisis today.
