This is a very important step in improving safety It might seem trivial to change the name but the change from Physician Assistant to Physician Associate was driven by an idea of equivalence to a Doctor This has created confusion for patients & in some cases has lead to significant problems

Welcome news! It continues the post-2015 trend of correcting chronic under investment. "In the survey asking users about infrastructure quality, the UK ranked 27th in terms of overall perceived infrastructure quality, in the middle of OECD countries" (Zhang & Cheng, 2023). Maybe we can catch up?

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep The Government banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe a certain medication This should also be banned @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social unless you have a way to justify this?

Tony Blair & business leaders miss the point Healthcare is personal, reactive, relies on nuance, often the unsaid things, a look down, a ‘hmm’, a tear, leading a Nurse or Doctor to a diagnosis beyond the presenting symptoms Healthcare is not a product, it’s an art, with artists dealing with people

GP partnership model has been a cornerstone of English primary care since the NHS’s inception. Partners operate independent businesses that are contracted through NHS England, enabling tailored local services and continuity of care, though often through partners’ goodwill and unpaid overtime.

The UK is a relatively low tax economy This means the revenue raised by Government as a proportion of GDP has been low historically Less funding raised for infrastructure/healthcare/education etc A thread 🧵
