Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

The partnership model has a long history, but the proportion of GPs in England working as partners has fallen over the last decade. The trend is more pronounced for younger GPs.

Our briefing from @becksfisher.bsky.social‬ sets the scene and considers the case for alternative models: buff.ly/LL1f0gz
The partnership model in general practice predates the NHS. Is now the time to change it?
The partnership model in general practice in England has been in place since before the NHS was formed, but its future is uncertain. The number of GP partners has fallen significantly, and relatively…

Libraries no longer deal with just books, but all types of information sources - good and bad! We believe that is now a #lifeskill to evaluate all things presented to you on a daily basis - from print to social media short posts, from journalistic pieces to articles - watch out for #misinformation

Part of me loves this take.

But another part of me thinks, that's not remotely true for most people: it *does* require an effort of will because organisations want people to use it, and that's a big deal if you have a job in an organisation.
I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷‍♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
