Waist to height ratio will now be an integral part of our General Practice T2D #CVRM review. ✅
Obesity is an independent condition within the #CVRM syndrome that deserves independent attention. Let’s get to work. 💪

“Replacing the Carr-Hill formula with a needs-based formula is the best and most sustainable way to make general practice funding more equitable.” @becksfisher.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social @rcgp.bsky.social @drkatie.bsky.social @qmul.ac.uk

Our briefing, proposes replacing Carr-Hill with a modern, needs-based formula.

Excellent insightful read - relationship based care and continuity of care informs the consult and in-turn the outcomes - I find them non negotiable components of successful management of LTCs in primary care. We need to protect them.
Great piece in The Doctor @bmj.com on research by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social et al about whether quality suffers when GP working is ever more remote and fragmented. Traditional values still alive and well in primary care, but harder to realise them in the work.
