So often “NHS” is conflated with “acute hospitals”. The volume of activity in primary care dwarfs what happens in hospitals. And for most of the population, their experience of their GP is their experience of the NHS.

There is overwhelming evidence that the policies & funding of NHS England & GMC are set on replacing Doctors with PAs When stating PAs have been integral to the NHS for 20years they are lying 2015 there were just 15 PAs in General Practice only 109 in hospitals I don’t understand the reasons

Pretty wild that, in a system where we say there is a “productivity crisis” in hospitals and we don’t really understand what is causing it, we think we can centrally produce league tables and sack the managers of the organisations at the bottom.

NHSE are not fit for purpose. They encourage the managers to play the game and then hang them out to dry. They set unrealistic budgets which means Trusts inevitably overspend and then bail them out so the following year the managers just ignore the budgets. Except they don’t bail out GPs/Pharmacies

"You can't have a ten year plan for the NHS if you don't have a serious plan for social care too." Ed Davey talks to Laura Kuenssberg about the need for cross-party collaboration on social care. youtu.be/W8fZqmn83MQ

Oh Dear - I have not been on Bluesky long and I have had cause to block my first account today who felt the need to tell me to ‘broaden my outlook’. I like the fact we have the power here to curate our own interactions but I do hope we can keep the negativity and toxicity of X out. No second chance.

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know. Apricity (17th century) is the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

The Mail online article about Kumar playing for Shillingstone. I haven’t yet sussed how to link it to my post so you will need to search for it direct.

Sangakkara scored 28,000 runs for Sri Lanka - now he plays in Dorset. It’s amazing and slightly surreal to see Kumar playing cricket for my home village and with one of my sons just 200 yards from my house! I love the fact that he still gets so much joy from just playing the game and the team.

Not quite sure why I have a timeline filled with cats! I must have pressed the wrong button somewhere - I mean they are very cute but I’m more a dog person…

Very striking how much of a gap has opened up between left and right in concern over immigration. Look at the average and it’s “Britons are getting pretty concerned about immigration”. Split by party and it becomes “Some Britons are now extremely concerned about immigration, others much less so”.
