I’m standing for RCGP Council! 🌟
As an academic GP working on health inequalities, I’m a proud advocate for a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for general practice—for both patients and GPs alike.
Together we can make our voice heard where decisions are being made 💪🏼

We might not have the same approaches but the goal is clearly the same. 💪🏼
When trying to improve registrar experiences in GP no voice is too big and no effort too small. This is what I’ve learnt from being on the panel in the ‘A Vision for the future of GP’ conference.

Harry from @apexcomms.bsky.social highlighting the need to make sure using genetic scores won't widen racial inequalities, as the media pushes it as the next big thing in cancer screening at #CaPRI2025
