Hi everyone, if you're going to send fake photos of your 'tonsillitis' to the GP you might want to use images other than those that come up on the first page of a google search or from the NHS website. Image taken from NHS tonsillitis info page.

Hi. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you do a swab and it comes back abnormal then it is your responsibility to manage the result. Calling the patient telling them to phone the gp for treatment is not managing the result.
