In December we unveiled @BrightWellbeing's new branding, and boy is it colourful! 🌈 We chose this design as it reflects the diversity within our organisation as well as our ethos.
What do you think? Have you seen it in real life?

The @BrightWellbeing team have had many questions about #StrepA in children. Our advice?
👶 Trust your instincts
👶 Lots of rest. If they're uncomfortable give them children's ibuprofen or children's paracetamol
👶 Still worried? Get in touch

If you find Christmas a tough time, you're not alone. And no matter how lonely you feel, there's always somebody you can turn to.
If you need someone to talk to, wonderful organisations such as @MindCharity and @samaritans are only too happy to listen.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from the Masai Mara! 👋
I'm currently here with family helping to build a school. In the meantime @BrightWellbeing team are doing a fantastic job of looking after our patients.
I'll be back in Jan. In the meantime, have fantastic celebrations!

If you're on the look out for a stocking filler it's not too late to buy my book 'What seems to be the problem?'✨📖
It provides insight into my life as a GP, humorous and tear-jerking patient stories as well as my thoughts on why the NHS needs to change: buff.ly/3FsNQtn

We're feeling festive at @BrightWellbeing with our new handmade Christmas lanterns.

Here's what the UK's new electoral map would look like if tonight's YouGov poll were repeated at a general election.
I was recently on the news after being strangled by a patient. I wanted to be clear that the patient stayed out books and we continued a good relationship. She was just let down by an over stressed system @violenceinthenhs – at South East, England
