Replying to @Azeem_Majeed
Our research shows that while consultation volume is at an all-time high, the complexity and intensity of those appointments have also increased. Creating more GP posts is best path to restoring patient access and ensuring the future of primary care in England's NHS.

Glad there's a day dedicated to HealthCare Workers Whether Surgeons or Health Care Assistants, it can be forgotten that those dealing with traumatised patients can themselves become traumatised by their experiences, the pressures of those responsibilities
Today is dedicated to honouring the memory of colleagues who have died by suicide and to continue to promote awareness and discussion on how to prevent it. It also serves as a reminder that suicide can affect us, our friends and our colleagues. #SuicideMemorialDay #NHSHeroes

OK, buckle up because this is a long thread, but it's important. Thanks to Giles for his permission to share our correspondence. He's caring for his beloved, who has a brain tumour. He's becoming so busy caring that he fears he's losing his sense of their sacred connection. 1/

Belief restored in humanity today as a kind and thoughtful @castellhowell delivery truck 🚚 stopped to allow me to safely cross a road on my bike 🚲 on Oteley Road in Shrewsbury. It didn’t delay him or any other road users. 🥰

My friend saw my book on my shelf and said “omg Kathryn Mannix, I’ve always wanted to read that, she is amazing”, she has borrowed it, but i definitely want it back as I will read it again. It is a book EVERYONE should read.

Polite and hardworking @ShrewsburyTC clearing debris from #MeoleIslandFootbridge making it safer and wider. Often manual methods are the only effective ones. (A spade and hoe had been used too) Thankyou
