Just a GP (primary care physician) in East London, UK with a few other roles.

NHS England abolished.
Is this an opportunity to review health strategy, investment in General Practice to focus on prevention, health tech and importantly, training and workforce planning which has resulted in doctors looking for jobs while patients are looking for doctors.

Country is short of GPs.
We need more GPs.
Lack of money to recruit GPs
Focus on primary care is how we sustain the #NHS .
GPs spend years training.
My email and WhatsApp inboxes are full of many GP trainees concerned about job opportunities after qualification

Good morning from #TeamGP .
Another day of on call, triaging & supporting patients.
General Practice will be dealing with about 1.5 million contacts today.
Yet, it remains out of focus for policy makers whose attention is firmly on reactive healthcare. Difficult to sustain.

Probably not the best example.
Several patient journeys, unnecessary investigations, adding to cost.
Would’ve been ideal to say patient to see GP, who can decide with them about the best course of action.

Morning walk reflection.
I support 100s of IMG GP trainees through 🇬🇧 GP training.
Internationally, our post graduate medical training has great reputation given robust professional standards and nationally based competencies.

At the James Mackenzie Lecture @rcgp tonight.
Listening to the amazingly insightful lecture by the one and only @kamleshkhunti on
‘Social Determinants of Cardiometabolic Diseases in Ethnic Minority Populations’.
More research needed but there are solutions we can implement.

#TeamGP OOH today.
Patient who I saw as a child with their parent, now with children of their own, wanting to see me because they have great memories of care provided.
The concept of family doctor is a powerful one for patients. This continuity of care is better for us in General Practice too.

On call all day in #TeamGP .
Got a great team serving our patients, from reception to clinical to management.
We are deeply rooted in our communities. But, that’s at risk of being torn away with ongoing lack of support for General Practice.
Latest being lack of NI increase support.
