As the NHS becomes increasingly two tier, those who profit from private services will tell you that public services will always be poor quality, and try to blame the workers. No, it’s that they don’t want to put in the money to treat *everyone* decently.

“The personal risk calculator has a glitch. As Anne Sosin, policy fellow at Dartmouth’s Rockefeller Center for Public Policy, told me, “It obscures the unequal terms of participation.”” In a nutshell #COVID19 #PostPandemic

Will the White House Correspondents Dinner end up being a Gridiron II? Regardless, it could be safer for everyone— including those for whom the individual risk calculator doesn’t work

The unbelievable lack of self awareness in this tweet, when DV posted an all male slate for Scotland, and I have been reliably informed, of their endorsed candidates across the UK, <20% are women. I can only speak for Lothian division but I have been warmly welcomed. #ARM2024

Of the 300 self-appointed division reps, more than a third have been the exact same people at each ARM for at least the last four years. Some have been attending for the last 20. And it shouldn’t come as any surprise that more than two thirds of those are men.

“It’s not fair to blame it on the pandemic any more, is it? Because actually we had problems in the NHS before we went into the pandemic. We were short of doctors, we were short of beds going into the pandemic, so I think it’s really wrong to blame it on the pandemic.”

Thank you @MartinSLewis for all you are doing to help those struggling. It is soul destroying day in, day out to be dealing with patients who cannot afford the prescriptions they need to maintain their health. These are people that are in work and not in receipt of benefits.

@scotgovhealth this is still how we are using valuable GP time. We need further investment to support our limited pharmacotherapy service. We need a deadline for implementation of electronic prescribing and no more meetings to explain why it's tricky.

@wendyburn @bykatewomersley #PayWomen Female doctors disproportionately bear the brunt of childcare responsibilities and LTFT working and are less able to “take advantage of” unpaid opportunities. If @rcpsych wants more women to be CASC examiners (which I think is a really great idea), pay them?

@WelshGasDoc @trentconsultant Why though? How did we get to a situation where “least bad” is an acceptable option? It’s staggering to me that Johnson’s incompetence, blatant disregard and contempt for UK citizens hasn’t had him immediately booted ignominiously out of office. How can we move on from here?!

THIS I don’t think the majority of the public have any idea what the cost is for all the GP / Primary care they have access to. And would be horrified to compare that cost to a private service tariff 💷 👇👇👇
