Last weekend I was at @PCRSUK with @FionaMosgrove and @paul_mccallion taking bronchiectasis . So important to link primary and secondary care ❤️

Challenging people working outside their competence isn’t infighting of staff It’s ensuring the public is safe.

I’m very proud to have been involved in writing this article - an important summary of what good care for patients affected by bronchiectasis looks like, for primary care colleagues.

My best days and worst days at work were when I was a practising GP. I still think about it every day. It has had a profound effect on every aspect of my life. I am sure I am not alone in this.

I really feel this. The lack of respect for us as professionals shown as work is delegated to us - “GP to refer” etc Soul destroying

Crazy obesity guidelines for Mounjaro on the NHS, in which a patient can have BMI> 40kg/m2 OSA Dyslipidaemia Hypertension and Pre-diabetes Started Tirzepatide privately & lost 15kg but unaffordable so got referred to Tier 3, failed eligibility for Mounjaro (no T2D) and got switched to Wegovy starting at 0.25mg!!! And regained all the weight lost What are we doing here???

Humans and their experience of illness are too complex to be “solved” by an algorithm. Time, continuity, relationships- ther are not algorithmic.
There seems to be an increasingly prevalent view that the art and practice of medicine can be reduced to a series of tasks and algorithmic decisions. It cannot. The art of medicine is not just about knowledge acquisition or technical skill.

Reflecting on home many things in healthcare could be improved by us listening to patients and understanding their experience, and how very little it is recognised in current political shenanigans that this requires our TIME and good CONTINUITY of care.

A privilege to be asked to speak at the @rcgp respiratory one day essentials course. Highlighting the role of primary care in bronchiectasis. 💥
I included "learn more about respiratory" on this year's appraisal PDP, so I'm pleased to have been able to attend the @rcgp Respiratory One Day Essentials course. (It's free for RCGP members!) @FionaMosgrove has achieved the impossible and demystified bronchiectasis!

Can we please, please stop telling chronically breathless patients who have gained weight that they “just need to lose some weight”, as if that’s the sole cause of their problem, and somehow a really easy thing for them to do?

NHS GP reaches the people at greatest need. NHS GP is massively under resourced. Many GPs can’t get NHS work. My prediction: steady increase in people with enough $ go private and poorest left with a patchwork of discontinuous protocol based care with massive gaps.
